Stuck is to me the last track from Mick Harris that connects with the golden age of Scorn, and could very well have been included with Gyral, as it still has that eerie spacey sound that would unfortunately disappear with "Logghi Barogghi".

"Bike" is a very short piece which, rhythmically, is almost Ragga-like. Interesting contrast of warm deep and more harsh sounds. "Fuss" is a nice claustrophobic exploration of exotic patterns and deep, shadow-engulfed, foreboding places. Machine rigidity combines with complex drum composition. "Stuck" once again explores a mood realm where you might bump into SCORN circa "Logghi Barogghi", strange, cloying atmospheres and rhythmic devices always on the verge of dissolution. DOWNWARDS venture into mood music without total compromise, and succeed with honours.
