SCORN Stealth out now (In US too... supposedly)

Post by sprash » Tue Nov 06, 2007 5:41 pm

Stealth was supposed to release today in the US per Mick's blog, but
Darla's website (Ohm Resistance) still shows pre-order. LP version is also available in the US from Darla.
Amazon shows it's available to be purchased now, but will ship within 4-6 weeks...
Folks in Europe can buy from Ad Noiseam

Let it be heard : 15 years since his début and 5 since his last studio album: Mick Harris breaks the silence and delivers with "Stealth" one of his most massive works so far. Staying faithful to his trademark sound, this corner-stone of a musician, constantly redefining the boundaries of electronic music, delivers here 8 salvoes of monumental bass, sparse dry beats and deep drones. Let it be heard: Scorn is back.

Tracklist:
1. Stripped Back Hinge
2. Rove
3. Glugged
4. Running Rig
5. Snag
6. The Palomar
7. Enough To Hold Bottom
8. 1.75 TC

Few musician can boast such a prolific and influential catalog as Mick Harris. Not only has his main project, Scorn, been re-defining and expanding the scope of electronic music and dub, but Harris's discography, featuring literally hundreds of releases, spawns from his début as the original drummer of Napalm Death to a founding member of Painkiller (with Bill Laswell and John Zorn) as well as such seminal projects as the ambient Lull, the drum'n'bass of Quoit or his participation to Extreme Noise Terror. To cut a long story short, (electronic) music wouldn't be the same if this Birmingham-based musician wasn't there.

Fifteen years after Scorn's début, and five whole years after his latest studio album, it is a transformed Mick Harris (noticeably by his come-back to his drum set) that deliver "Stealth", Scorn's 13th full length studio album. And while music has evolved a lot since 1992's "Vae Solis", Scorn has stayed true to his trademark sound. Several genres have come and gone, but Scorn remains the epitome of minimal, dry beats, wall-of-sound unequalled basses and deep, mesmerizing drones.

Not only a massive, bodily experience, Scorn's monumental tracks (which have proved over the years to provide for unforgettable live sets) impress by their focus and efficiency. Keeping only the bare minimum of what defines dub, Scorn drives these few elements (sparse beats, echoes, and most of all, bass) to their extreme. A godfather of the current come-back of slow, heavy basses in club music, Scorn's method still stand out with its towering, dark and minimal approach. "Stealth" is no exception. Spacious in its execution, oppressive, humongous in its outcome; let it be heard: Scorn is back.

This one is one of those to watch closely, heavy stuff.
Scorn is such a multifaceted producer
Suddenly, there was a terrible roar all around us, and the sky was full with what looked like huge bats, all swooping and screeching and diving around the car, and a voice was screaming:
Holy Jesus. What are these goddamn animals?

my route to Scorn (actually electronic music) was -

Napalm death (Scum) -> Godflesh / Techno Animal / God -> Scorn's 'Vae Solis' (featuring the original scum trio doing VERY different music -- still one of my fav's) -> Scorn's entire discography -> Dark Bass/Beats/Electronic music

I completely agree -- Painkiller is definitely TOP NOTCH. Just this morning I was blasting Live in Osaka on my way to work.

You might already know (or will be happy to know) PK is recording a new studio album early Jan. Zorn got in touch with Mick and Mick was up for it. As usual it will be a 2 day affair, 1 day record and 1 day mix @ Laswell's studio... Zorn has also expressed interest in having some live shows...

Hell yeah, dubstep fans should definitely check out Techno Animal. Heavy stuff.... Wish KMart gets with Justin Broadrick to make some more records...

DNB fans should check out JKB's Youpho too (...one of the best output of broadrick in my opinion anyway!) and also Harris's QUOIT (Plug 8 is supa!)
