Neurotten
**Limited Edition of 299 copies.** 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 n…
Mission Invisible - Kill The Poor
Hospital Productions announce the unreleased, would-be-classic from Japanese noise hero Painjerk. Originally recorded immediately after the canonical Gallon Gravy classic, this is pure -- definitive -- loop-heavy noise energy and dynamism that would become the signature of Kohei Gomi's electronic studies having influenced two generations of underground electronics since. Hailing from a background of Japanese punk, Kohei Gomi stayed true to the fierce ethos of independence and experimentation tha…

Surreal Grind
Side A of this tape contains a sample which made the duplication process more challenging than usual. Here is an excerpt of the email we got from the first factory we tried: the audio department is working on your project today and they have come across a copyright issue. From the beginning of side A to about 08:16 and again at 32:54 there is a sample taken from P*** F****’s “M***y”. We cannot duplicate that material. Let me know if you want to submit new audio or how you would like to proceed.
Electroacoustic Sludge Dither Transformation Smear Grind Decompo
Electroacoustic Sludge Dither Transformation Smear Grind Decomposition nO!se File Exchange Mega Edit is the long-awaited collaboration from two of the world's finest purveyors of noise, electroacoustics, and top-shelf audio mayhem. Having met at the legendary Tokyo venue 20000 Volts in 1997, Russell Haswell and Pain Jerk (Kohei Gomi) stayed in touch with the intent to collaborate at some point in the future. This was eventually realized in 2012 when they were offered a gig to play together at th…
Vague Maze
Pain Jerk and John Wiese are two titans of noise. Their collaborations are not a new. This is the stunning prologue, the first one, dated 2005. 7 minutes of synthesizers, electronics, noise. This is what a 7inch must be. Fast, violent, harsh. Play it at 45rpm as loud as possible you can. You know you need it. Artwork by John Wiese. Limited edition of 200 hand-numbered copies, one time presssing

Hey there, looking for a healthy dose of electrocution? We got it right here! Two titans of noise, Pain Jerk (aka Kohei Gomi) and John Wiese, continue their trans-Pacific affairs. While the previous episodes have been mail collaborations with Mr. Wiese at the helm, this studio live session has a more distinct Pain Jerk flavor to it (and is a tasty aperitif for his yet-to-appear new studio material). A vivid amalgam of vintage analog synthesizers, classic noiselectronics and DSP, at less than 18 …
European Tour 2009
Special limited edition CD to celebrate the 2009 Tour of Ohio-giants of drone Emeralds and savage noise-makers Pain Jerk. "Ohio's Emeralds cross swords with the fearsome Pain Jerk on the consistently strong No-Fi imprint, contributing one recording each. The two pieces compliment one another beautifully, though you'd imagine the two acts to make uneasy bedfellows: Emeralds' half-hour of blissful analogue motion ('Landlocked') faces off against the grotesquely noisy 'Beserker' (a "noise/voice/akt…
