Beat 9 (5:14)Mick "the mongoose" Harris (Scorn, Trace Decay, Quoit, Lull, Matera, etc, etc) is back with a vinyl only, 33 rpm 12" limited to 500 copies. This is the first of a dozen such releases, the next of which might be out in the fall of 1999. Hed Nod 01 is on transparent light orange vinyl and comes in an individually numbered, plain black sleeve with a small title and credits sticker in the upper right corner. With this project Harris seems to be going for a slow, instrumental hip hop style for the clubs. Each track is fairly minimal with dark swirling atmospheres, deep bass throbs and beat box beats. It's not all that far off from "Zander"-era Scorn and it's instantly recognizable as a Mick Harris sonic. Is Hed Nod mind-blowing or revolutionary for Harris? Nope. Is it cool? Oh yeah. I'm curious to see where he goes with the next 11 slabs of vinyl. Strangely enough, Soleilmoon only wants $5.99 for it whereas it's $10 direct from Hushush ...
