Lull - Collected Box

Lull is the drone project of the prolific Mick Harris. As Bleak Bliss readers surely know, Harris was once in a band with Nic Bullen and Justin Broadrick called Scorn, who in the mid-1980's were known as Napalm Death until some other guys decided to use that name. Harris' solo music went from metallic churn to heavy dub thud and techno club-friendly thump, but Lull was his avenue for ice-cold beatless drift. You don't have to call it ambient if the term bothers you.

"Collected", a CD from 2003 released by the magnificent Manifold label, collects (duh) unreleased music and some tracks that initially appeared on compilations, plus one side of Lull's "Way Through Staring" LP. The edition that I'm posting here, though, is the luxurious limited-to-100-copies boxset that, in addition to the more widely available CD, also included a Lull t-shirt, some cards, a box with a little chain and lock around it (in case someone tried to steal it from you... no chance! You'll never get past the clever little chain!), and (this is the piece we really care about here) an extra CDR called "They're Coming Out of the Walls" contaning even more Lull! The bonus disc has the other side of the "Way Through Staring" LP, two tracks from 7" singles, and a different version of a compilation track.
