Description

Urashima present a reissue of Pain Jerk's Neurotten, originally released on cassette in 1996. Kohei Gomi began experimenting with home recording in the 1980s and got so lost in extreme sonics under the Pain Jerk moniker that his output inevitably spilled out into the wider world. By the mid-90s, he was 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. Pain Jerk became one of the leading figures in the "dynamic" style of Japanese noise or Japanoise and is also the owner of the noise tape label AMP that during the '90s releases about fifty cassettes of his amazing noise project. Among his works released in his most prolific period, Neurotten stands out without a doubt, reaching cult status and instantly becoming a classic of the genre. Recorded in 1996 and published the same year on the legendary Slaughter Productions by Marco Corbelli aka Atrax Morgue, in only 80 hand numbered copies in a special A5 tin-foil sleeve with translucent insert and instead some using a red cardboard insert accompanied by a small curved iron rod, similar to a dentist's tool. 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, "Gushcore" and "Teen-Wreckage", of incredible beauty. Nothing compares to the sounds emitted by vinyl grooves composed with a mysterious configuration of constantly flowing noise -- always recorded live without overdubs. Devastating, unfriendly harsh noise: the hardest rock that is pierced by the sharpest diamond. With only one track on side B, which takes 23 minutes, you 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. There're a lot of rips and chaos, pulsating pulses of recycled transient sounds and some loops, muffled high tones that twist into spastic shapes capable of breaking the faint speaker cones. This rare gem is restored and remastered from the original DAT master by Nobuki Nishiyama and reissued for the first time on vinyl. Absolutely incredible and a complete revelation from start to finish, before us lays yet another crucial piece in the puzzle to emerge from this astounding world of noises. New artwork by Koichi Nagura and an original drawing by Yukou Suzuki; edition of 299.
