this album marked a massive shift in direction for scorn, as it was the first album mick harris produced solo under the scorn name. it also marked a musical change (again) from the more commercial (and definitely more successful) Evanescence album. Far from the ambient dub/breakbeat of that LP, Gyral marked scorn's first foray into isolationist soundscapes, and "circular" musical patterns (hence the name 'Gyral'). If there is one scorn album i recommend the non-believers listen to first, it is this one for the simple fact that it is a link between scorn's past, and his future. And simply for the fact that this album rocks.

I'm into Metal, Progressive and Electronic Music since AGES (Last Century). This album is simply a must for all Electronic Music Lovers. At first I thought it was over repetitive...now after hundred of listening...I'm like the Pavlov's Dog...:-) Mick Harris simply Rules.
