Being somewhat of a fanatic, I have both...
The Surgeon collaboration is fantastic...  icy black ambience,
occasionally with rhythmic pulses, usually without.  Not really like
Lull...  too sharp, piercing, if that makes any sense.
The Harvey/Harris CD was a massive disappointment.  Not much variation in
beats or sounds, pretty wanky.  Much worse than Overload Lady (which I
didn't think much of either way, though I hear Total Station is better).

Can someone recommend a Surgeon record to get (single or CD).  I like this
cd a lot, and I love his remix of Mogwai too...  Add to that my growing
fascination with dark 4 on the floor bangin' techno, and I figure Surgeon
is wear I should be looking...  though other recommendations are welcome.
