Album Notes & Community Reviews
Following the departure of Justin Broadrick, 'Ellipsis' marks Mick Harris's transition of Scorn into a solo entity focused heavily on isolationist, rhythmically driven electronic beats. The record delves deep into the burgeoning illbient movement, constructing paranoid, bass-heavy atmospheres driven by minimalist percussion and bleak, mechanical sampling. It stands as a seminal work in the cross-pollination of dark ambient textures with subterranean hip-hop structures.
