about

The classic, genre-defining 1993 album from LULL - the pioneering, isolationist dark ambient project of MICK HARRIS of SCORN, FRET, ex-NAPALM DEATH - is a dark journey through the Stygian netherworlds of Hell. The listener is left with the impression of a final escape into reality; a return upon waking, with only wispy trace memories and the heavy rush of blood-pumping fear as a keepsake.

With this album, we are plunged back into a dark pit of noise - all escape barred, all hope dashed. The nightmare continues, the journey through underworlds descends deeper. These are soundtracks for Nightmares. Despite there being just three tracks on the album, it lasts just shy of 75 minutes.

Originally released on Sentrax (the label of the late John Everall / Tactile), the CD suffered the 'disc rot' fate of many PDO pressings from 1988-1993, rendering most of that initial run unplayable.

Mixed by Justin K Broadrick (GODFLESH). Remastered by Martin Bowes (The Cage Studios) from the original recordings supplied by Mick Harris.

REVIEWS:

"Lull doesn't go stretching and pitching down on us but delivers something constantly changing and drifting around. Oddly enough, here, too, there is something in the samples that a layman would describe as rhythm; I do. In many ways, this album from Lull is a much more experimental album than much of his later work, and because of its noisier character, it is also less dark ambient. Now, isolationist music [it] certainly is; it's atmospheric, experimental and not a commercial proposition because of its musical nature. I missed out on this in the early 1990s, so it's great to hear it, finally" (Vital Weekly).

"Lull's masterful, unparalleled, pioneering, dark and deeply immersive ambient/drone dreamworlds from 1993 produced by the legend Mick Harris (Fret, Scorn, Monrella, Quoit, Napalm Death)... Turn out the lights, close your eyes and Journey Through Underworlds" (Norman Records)

"Toentertijd werd LULL isolationism genoemd, een genre dat eigenlijk maar een kort leven beschoren was en waar ook namen als Scorn, Ice, Techno Animal, Final en Zoviet France... Tegenwoordig noemt iedereen deze muziek dark ambient, een term die de lading in dit geval niet volledig dekt... De eerste drummer van het net zo invloedrijke Napalm Death zet met deze CD de bakens uit voor het genre. Een donkere, onheilspellende trip naar de innerlijke hel. Drones zonder beats, sfeervol, nachtmerrie-achtig en o zo mooi. Ideaal luistervoer voor de betere nachtrust" (Luminous Dash).

"En su segundo álbum “Journey Through Underworlds”, Lull transformó sus avanzadas ideas conceptuales dentro de la escena dark ambient en una ecléctica mirada artística muy adelantada a su tiempo al incorporar elementos sonoros conceptuales propios del aislacionismo, post-industrial, drone, industrial, y experimental... aunque han pasado mas de tres décadas desde su creación artística, el legendario álbum “Journey Through Underworlds” sigue sonando a vanguardia en esta década de los veinte del siglo XXI... vuelven a renacer el alma artística de este mítico álbum musical de Lull" (Lux Atenea)

Banger after banger on this one. Crank the volume, and ensure you have some solid subs going. I'd buy this on vinyl in a heartbeat. Mr. Paul
