Total Station may be the most accessible
Mick Harris album ever, although anyone even remotely familiar with the
Scorn mastermind's prolific output would have a hearty chuckle at such a relative statement. Here, the former
Napalm Death drummer and
Eraldo Bernocchi craft funkier-than-usual soundscapes bearing a distinct hip-hop influence, with
Harris mixing live and programmed beats with creepy synth lines
RZA would be proud of, as the guitarist does his best
Buckethead impression over the top. It's nowhere near mainstream enough to garner airplay, but if you're a paranoid homesick alien,
Total Station may have the cure for what ails ya.
