Subject:: Scorn's _Colossus_

I remembered some discussion a few months ago about the new Scorn album, which I thought was titled _Dub_. Anyway, I was browsing my local BlockBuster Music (high prices, but you occasionally can find something out there) and stumbled on _Colossus_, recorded from 1992-93 and released by Earache USA in 1994. I skipped through most of the disc and was impressed, but not enough to buy it; it was not the dub-wicked platter I was thinking of. What it was, however, was good ambient/industrial in the vein of non-dancy Skinny Puppy or the slower Godflesh creations. *Incredible* sample work, IMHO; also some great effects. It's not a guitar record, nor is it just a drum machine with an attitude. Someone put a lot of thought into the construction. Anyway, if anyone out there sees this disc, take the time to listen to it if you can. It's not bad. And if anyone knows what album by Scorn I'm thinking about that *was* kind of dubby (in that Earache sort of way), drop me a line.

I think you're thinking of Evanescence, which was utter brilliance. An album that just sucks you in with heavy rythmic undertow. (?):) As for this Colossus, I haven't heard of this before. Was this released before or after Evanescence? -Matt

i thought this album was one of the worst things i had ever heard. boring attempt to jump on the oh so trendy ambient bandwagon. did practically nothing for me. and the vocals were annoying as well.
