LULL & BETA CLOUD & ANDREW LILES - 'Circadian Rhythm Disturbance Reconfigured' CD (Cold Spring CSR139CD)
From England to the United States and back again... it all started as a simple drone project between LULL (aka Mick Harris of Scorn, ex-Napalm Death) and BETA CLOUD (aka Carl Pace), based on the concept of how insomnia can effect your thought patterns. Billows of powerful bass drones set to indistinct flourishes of temporary insanity. The original track is there, but also included is a fierce remix track by legendary sound artist Andrew Liles (NURSE WITH WOUND). Fans of Lull and Beta Cloud will really sink their teeth into this one; what Liles has created here is not a simple remix but a raging, deconstruction as only he can do. Originally released as a limited 3" CD in 2008, now proudly presented in a deluxe digipak edition with stunning new artwork. A captivating listen for dark ambient and harsh noise fans alike.
The ultimate in drift and darkness! A collection of rare and unreleased compilation tracks formed within the deepest nightmares of Mick Harris (Scorn, ex-Napalm Death). Tracking the work from the very first track Lull created; 'Hung' to the haunting nineteen-minute 'Closed In', previously found only on vinyl. Seven works of sublime uneasiness that surround the listener, filling the room with a restful sort of darkness. Includes unreleased material.

LULL - 'Continue' CD (Release Entertainment)
A cavernous soundscape composed of spacious drifts and dense, rumbling drones. This is the fourth full-length from Mick Harris under the Lull moniker. "Consisting of a one-hour-long track that unfolds excruciatingly slowly, Continue could be the soundtrack for a '90s version of 2001: A Space Odyssey, which was equally unnerving for its vast expanses of nothingness. Where Scorn can be the horrific equivalent of a musical Freddy Krueger - getting in your face to tell you how badly he's gonna mess you up - Lull's approach is more subtle and seductive, soothing your nerves before slitting your throat while you sleep" (All Music Guide). Hypnotic journeys into the abyss.

LULL - 'Like A Slow River' CD (Glacial Movements)
After a long period of silence, we welcome the return of one of the most important representatives of the ambient isolationist world: the wonderful UK artist Lull (aka Mick Harris of Scorn, Painkiller, Napalm Death). "Like a slow river" is a work characterised by sharp and minimal atmospheres but also dark, cold and huge such as large bodies of ice which slowly move, carried by an endless river. These five compositions reach the high expectations of Lull's previous works, such as "Cold Summer", "Continue" and the "Murder Ballads" trilogy with Martin Bates. With no doubt, this is the coldest and darkest work ever composed by this pioneer of industrial-ambient music. You will all be led to the oblivion of your existence....the freezing darkness of these glacial night is going to come down on your bodies and minds... you'll fall in your deepest sleep with the far echo of glacial runnings... the way to eternity is in front of you. Presented in a gorgeous 6-panel digipak. Highly recommended!!
Mick Harris ebbs, flows, drifts, and drones through 67 minutes of diverse ambient soundscapes. Reportedly inspired by Mick Harris' deep affection for the soundtrack to the classic David Lynch film Eraserhead, Lull's fifth full-length effort is utterly hypnotic stuff. Comprised of 99 sections digitally edited to form one continuous masterpiece, this makes for transfixing listening.

REPTILJAN - 'The Hellbender Suite' CD (Some Place Else)
Reptiljan combines the blast-beats of grindcore and the broken rhythms of drill'n'bass / breakcore, samples in everything from 1980s heavy metal to modern hip-hop and lets in a good dose of abrasive noise and distortion. Reptiljan is a manic burst of noise, hectic rhythms and splintered guitars, making the listener squirm, laugh uncontrollably and see lizards on the walls. Reptiljan is a mutant radiating energy, related in spirit to artists like Napalm Death, Venetian Snares, Kid606, Painkiller (John Zorn, Bill Laswell, Mick Harris), Beherit, who are breaking the different boundaries of music. Reptiljan is a project by Niko Skorpio.
