Description

Scorn – Gyral – Cassette

Gyral is the fourth studio album by the British electronic music project Scorn. It was released in 1995. Mick Harris’ first Scorn release after the departure of bassist Nick Bullen is a refinement of previous concerns, with spare, repetitive rhythms and drum loops providing a tether for dark, brooding atmospherics and harsh, effects-heavy samples.

Gyral features Scorn’s signature style of dark and heavy electronic soundscapes, characterized by deep basslines, distorted rhythms, and minimalist compositions. The album incorporates elements of industrial, dub, and experimental music, creating a unique and atmospheric sonic experience.

Less immediately engaging, perhaps, than previous albums, Gyral works best as beat-oriented dark ambient, its strongest impact working on an almost subconscious or subliminal level.

Notable tracks from Gyral include ‘Far In Out,’ ‘Six Hours One Week,’ ‘Forever Turning’ and ‘Black Box.’ The album’s sound is often described as brooding, hypnotic, and oppressive, with a focus on creating a dense and immersive sonic atmosphere.

Gyral received positive reviews for its innovative sound and its ability to create a distinct and unsettling mood. The album further solidified Scorn’s reputation as a leading force in the realm of experimental electronic music.
