Contagious Orgasm & Guilty Connector - Guilorga

Collaborative effort from the two Japanese noise/industrial projects, released as a CD in 2000 on Utsu Tapes, which is owned by Kohei Nakagawa (Guilty Connector). A strange and captivating blend of harsh noise, samples and melodic EBM-type beats.

Black Leather Jesus / MSBR - Sonic Destruction

Split between Richard Ramirez's Black Leather Jesus moniker and the late great Koji Tano's 'Molten Salt Breeder Reactor' (MSBR). Both sides are fanatically intense, with Ramirez making more use of screeching sounds with high variation and Tano favouring a driving, building momentum of noise and atmosphere. Released on Ramirez's Deadline Recordings label in 1995 in an edition of three hundreds LPs.

Pelt - Max Meadows

Early release from American psych-drone collective Pelt, recorded between 1995 and 1996 and released the following year. Features a customary blend of droning guitar feedback, with more of an intense distorted "rock" sound than later more roots-influenced material. The musicians here are very talented at created their rich, psychoactive carpet of chaotic sound and it is on full display here in a rougher, rawer form than we might be accustomed to.

The New Blockaders - Eine Kleine Nichstmusick

Self-released CD from English noise veterans The New Blockaders (as 'TNB Orchestra'), released in 2013 in an edition of 50 copies. This is a very dense, very intricate noise assault. The sounds are often layered and reward close listening. The cover features unique burnt fragments of sheet music, with some copies having the CD booklet partially burnt also.

Forced Womanhood

Noise compilation from defunct American label 23 Productions, features contributions centering on themes of sadomasochism and gender dysphoria. If the repugnance of the subject matter (and often vile samples) can be penetrated, there are lot of very, very good tracks here from lesser known noise artists as well as the likes of Dominick Fernow (as Prurient) and Richard Ramirez (as Black Leather Jesus). Not for listening during meal times.

Strict & Pain Jerk - Collaboration

Transatlantic collaboration between japanese noise giant Kōhei Gomi (Pain Jerk) and American Jeremy Kart (Strict), released on German label Art Konkret in 1997. The resulting session of classic, high intensity noise is on par with any Pain Jerk work from around this time.

Tourette - Cendrier du Voyage

Release from French noise artist Benjamin Clement. The noise here is very lo-fi and fuzzy, morphing through the ears with a calm intensity. Originally released on 'Foyer Second' in 2013 (according to Discogs, the first and only release on this label), then re-issued on Italian label Archivio Diafònico in 2015. The title is taken from the title of a book of poetry by Jacques Dupin.

Emil Beaulieau - Kill the All-Noise Japanese Artists

More tongue-in-cheek noise blasting from Emil Beaulieau. The premise here is the use of 'japanoise' artists as source material for Beaulieau's own work. This is a fine and bountiful premise and the results are reflective of both the quality and intensity of the sources and Beaulieau's own audio skill. The punk samples and quasi-ironic vocal wailing are present here but less so than other Beaulieau Pure releases posted recently (see here and here).
