Comments for Scorn, Gyral

One of the darkest, bleakest things (whilst still remaining musical!) I have ever heard. And I'm used to old Death In June etc.! P.S.- If you find submarine noises annoying then steer well clear; if however you love them, as I do, then you're in heaven!

This is an excellent album by any standards. It may not be the best Scorn has been, but it is better than anything else out there today. Far in Out is a marveluos song , one of the scariest songs I have heard since Bullen and Laswell''s Bass Terror. The bass is not as alive as on there past albums but it still wraps itself around the listener like a dark blanket.

Latest offering from Scorn. With the departure of Nick Bullen, the disc was created solely by Mick Harris. Gyral opened witha ear-catching Six Hours One Week. Wicked semi-hip-hop beat undera fat dubby bassline augmented by ambient sounds and sonar-pings.The disc dwindled somewhat a little bit, but with the arrivalof Stairway, the disc becomes fatter and fatter with wicked beatsand rubbery, watery dub bass. Die-hard Scorn devotees may have some doubts about Harris` indulgence of this trip-hop sound, but fans of Bill Laswell or other more-mainstream trip-hop efforts should check this disc out.
