• PAIN JERK - 'Neurotten' LP

Beginning his extreme sonics in the 1980's, Kohei Gomi is one of the most prolific and influential noise units operating out of Japan, hurling maelstroms of chaotic chunder and deranged grime at anyone who could handle the extremes. By the 90's Pain Jerk became one of the leading figures in the "dynamic" style of Japanoise and is also the owner of the noise tape label AMP.

Among his 70+ albums, "Neurotten" stands out, reaching cult status and instantly becoming a classic of the genre. Released in 1996 on the legendary Slaughter Productions by Marco Corbelli (Atrax Morgue), the original cassette was presented in a tiny edition of 80 hand numbered copies in special packaging.

The assault here is very high-end heavy: relentlessly aggressive. The sound severs and bleeds more than it beats and bludgeons. Side-A is divided into two tracks of incredibly devastating, unfriendly harsh noise. Nothing compares to the sounds emitted by vinyl grooves composed of constantly flowing noise - always recorded live without overdubs. On the 23 minutes of side-B we encounter one of most iconic compositions from his wide discography: 'Disembowel'. Hearing impaired volumes that duel, bouncing sound structures displacing the ego and generating many difficulties in brain processing. Rips and chaos, pulsating pulses of recycled transient sounds, loops, and muffled high tones.
