The incredible power created by GENESIS BREYER P-ORRIDGE (Psychic TV / Throbbing Gristle) - the founding father of the Industrial world, and MERZBOW - the undisputed king of Japanese Noise. Recorded exclusively for Cold Spring, with five brand new tracks, "A Perfect Pain" has been hailed as an important album and an extremely successful collaboration.

CD in digipak with 8-page booklet containing all lyrics. Remastered for both CD and vinyl by The Cage Studios.

1. A Perfect Restraint (3:23)
2. Flowering Pain Give Space (10:55)
3. Source Are Rare (25:00)
4. Kreeme Horn (5:14)
5. All Beauty Is Our Enemy (12:14)

"It’s a great opportunity to take a hard look back at a recording that defined and defied its era, and it’s impossible to think this was released two decades ago... In the end most listeners will be left with a slightly distended lower jaw as this is one of those records that takes no prisoners, well worth a second spin". (Toneshift)

"A long overdue collaboration from these two living legends of experimental music... This disc will scare the shit out of most people... it's almost a modern day take on the simultaneous beauty/brutality aesthetic of Throbbing Gristle" (Brainwashed)

"…easily the finest material Merzbow has made in some time... pure data trash of the highest quality…" (The Wire).

"I might just be speechless after this record. It can be exhausting as after finishing an intriguing novel" (Sante Sangre).
