>Can anyone recommend me some Scorn albums?
>Are any of these albums worth the money:

Almost all the Scorn records are worth the money, but only a very few are
truly stunning.

>Colossus

Interesting mix of grindcore and dub - definitely much heavier on the dub
side, just has a very hard edge to it, so perhaps calling it grindcore is
inappropriate. I don't regret buying it, but I don't listen to it too
often.

>Evanescence
>Silver Rain Fell

Ellipsis is the remixes of Evanescence - essential.  Evanescence is a
great record, but you don't really need it if you have ellipsis, which is
far superior. I'll assume Silver Rain Fell is a single with the Meat Beat
mix, in which case it's absolutely amazing, but all of it's on Ellipsis.

>Gyral
>Leave It Out

Absolutely essential, but Leave it Out is just a single.

>Zander

Decent but just not as amazing as gyral, ellipsis, and logghi barogghi -
the 3 you should listen to first (in that order).  I've listened to one of
those around every week for over a year.

There are lots of other Mick Harris records, but the Lull lps are the
only ones I enjoy nearly as much as Scorn (cold summer in particular),
and they're totally beatless drifting ambient - very cold.
