Scorn: Basura’s Pick of the Week

scorn Scorn: Basuras Pick of the Week

Not intended to feature the latest music out there, my ‘Pick of the Week’ is to simply share & highlight music I personally enjoy regardless of timeframe. This weeks featured artist is Scorn (Mick Harris), remembered by most as being the former drummer for grindcore legends Napalm Death. Scorn has worked with avant-garde composer John Zorn and prolific producer Bill Laswell and has been remixed by the likes of electronic virtuosos Autechre, experimental industrialists Coil, and Meat Beat Manifesto to name a few. Scorn’s sound was a precursor to dubstep, and for the most part, can best be described as nightmare music- dark atmospheric tones and super low bass frequencies over left field dub/downtempo beats.

martinatopleybird Martina Topley Bird: Valentine produced by Danger Mouse. First glimpse off new album The Blue God / Tricky classics & Stereo MCs remix

So smooth. Londoner and trip hop legend Martina Topley-Bird’s new album titled ‘The Blue God’ is around the corner and it’s produced by the man—’round the way New Yorker come UK resident—Danger Mouse of Gray Album, DANGERDOOM & Gnarls Barkley fame. We’re excited. The first tease of the record is ‘Valentine’, a morose and thoughtful song about love.

MP3: Martina Topley-Bird – Valentine (Produced by Danger Mouse) (2008)

Martina Topley-Bird, emerged on the world stage in 1995 alongside trip hop artist Tricky, on his debut solo album, ‘Maxinquaye’. Martina Topley-Bird contributed greatly to some of Tricky’s finest tracks throughout the 1990’s (including all but two on ‘Maxinquaye’). A young Martina Topley-Bird was only 15 when she recorded her first song with Tricky, ‘Aftermath’. Her voice speaks of experience well beyond her age, I was properly and delightfully fooled.

Here’s some more favorites from the first pair of Tricky records including a Stereo MCs B-Side remix. And ‘Sandpaper Kisses’ from her 2003 solo debut record ‘Quixotic’:
