494A Mick Harris' Projects mix 1

This is my selection covering the breadth and depth of Mick Harris' musical career.  I can't think of any other musician that has such variety in styles.  Starting more or less as the blast beat drummer from Napalm Death, and then covering everything from techno, drum and bass, dub step (years before it became a thing), avant garde, ambient, and drones.  Seriously, this is all over the place between these two mixes.  I did include Scorn four times in total, as I wanted to represent the evolution of their sound.  Yes Nick Bullen leaving the group dramatically changed the sound, and Mick Harris kept it going and evolving to the wonderful beast it is today.  The rest of these tracks represent his aliases, though some are full fledged musical projects involving others.  Each one certainly has its own distinct sound and vibe.  Incredible to think these are all from the same creative mind.

The projects of his that I didn't include are listed here; mostly omitted due to very long track lengths.

404 The Remix According To Scorn

Mick Harris has the Midas touch.  Coming from Napalm Death, Scorn was his death ambient project which then pre-empted dubstep, then abandoned that for their own slow bass heavy dark bliss.  He also has his drone project Lull, the drum and bass of Quoit, the Scorn similar project The Weakener, and several releases under his own name.  His project with Bill Laswell and Eraldo Bernocchi is Equations of Eternity and is as great as you can imagine based on that lineup.  Trace Decay is his work with John Everall.  There is also this little band he is in called Painkiller featuring Bill Laswell and John Zorn, which you may have heard of.

Here, his unique touch and trademark Scorn sound is easily identified on every track he works on.  I stayed with remixes under the Scorn name, so nothing listed as a Mick Harris remix or any of his other aliases.  I probably should do a follow up of his other remixes, as there are plenty of gems in there.
