Japanese Torture Comedy Hour was the harsh noise/improv/grind outfit formed by Scott Hull (of Anal Cunt/Agoraphobic Nosebleed/Pig Destroyer) and former AC guy Tim Morse in the mid 1990's. The band only released a handful of tapes and CDs, one of which is this juicy installment on RRR. The Japanese Torture Comedy Hour entry in RRRecords' notorious Recycled Music Series cassette series is a lengthy free-grind jam that has the members constructing layers of nonsensical backwards-scuttling jazz improv and tape mutation that is pierced with grotesque blasts of grindnoise blurr and harsh electronic carnage, the end result being somewhat comparable to a stumbling Borbetomagus/Anal Cunt/Merzbow orgy.

This being a part of RRR's infamous Recycled Music series, JTCH's jam is dubbed over assorted commercial pre-recorded music cassettes that had been traded into the RRRecords shop in Lowell, MA. Each is one of a kind, as the nature of dubbed cassettes allow for glimmers of the original audio content to often bleed into the crushing noise assault that has been dubbed onto the tape. Comes in a handassembled case/sleeve with duct tape scrawled in black marker across the front.
