I can't recommend any Godflesh - haven't heard any since my misguided and
unshorn youth - but I second the props to Mick Harris. Like the 'flesh, he
came out of the Earache/Grindcore scene in the UK, but by some of the
accounts here Godflesh returned to it.
He's extremely diverse, doing the fucked-up dub dubby/edgy hip hop thing
with Scorn, and a million other side projects.
The best Scorn things I have are 'Greetings from Birmingham' on Hymen, and
the early single 'White Irises Blind' on Earache, the second of which you
might like if you're into the older Godflesh stuff (from what I can remember
of 'Streetcleaner').
Saw him performing with Surgeon as Certain Beyond All Reasonable Doubt a few
years back, and it was mighty good - just massive black sheets of heavy
noise, with a tiny undercurrent of barely detectable, almost orchestral
tonality. I don't know of any releases by them, though.
Also, I just got an album of industrial drum and bass he did on Quartermass
as Quoit. It's very similar to the things he did with Eraldo Bernocchi on
what I think was the Quantum 484 label, and stuff I believe he was
affiliated to on the Possible Recs label. Not for the faint hearted.
And the Autechre remix of Scorn is superb!
As you can tell, I like him. A lot.
What label is the Lull stuff on?
Cheers,
Papa D
