"Moments" is a definite contrast to Lull's last album "Continue" that was mastered as a single seventy minute track. This time, Mick Harris splits a seventy minute album into 99 different tracks. If you listen to the album on random or skip mode you can listen to an infinite number of different albums. As with other Lull material, the music is primarily dark drones and ambience, however instead of flowing crisply together, each track subtlely shifts mood and tempo rather randomly. As a result, if you do listen to the album either straight through or randomly, the ambience is different each time. So take a moment and drop this album into your CD player in random mode and enjoy a unique listening experience every time you press play.

Mick Harris has been responsible for a healthy share of electronica's more foreboding efforts, especially in his subterranean dub work with Scorn and Bill Laswell. These very brief treatments and remixes (99 in all) almost serve as sketches for some stronger yet-to-be-realized ambient work, as these organic-sounding passages are filled with warm buzzes, low hums and the found sounds of an open field. While the continuous, free-flowing tranquillity must be quite abnormal for someone like Harris, he does inject a few small-voltage jolts just to make sure you don't mistake this for Brain Eno or Vidna Obmana. Should be interesting to see if these ideas get scattered in with all the other remix work he oversees.

Minimalist in the extreme, Lull has produced an album of sustained tones, filtered into unrecognisable form. As each track slides seamlessly into the next, we are confronted with a somber, gravely industrial landscape of humming and distorted machinery almost on the verge of collapse. Interspersed are subsonic tones, barely discernible to the ears yet made known by their vibration Layered above, geiger-counter type noises lead us into, what we must assume, is an increasing toxicity. One feels as though one is moving from one room to another, filled with obscure and abandoned machinery, perhaps many of them with no other purpose than to consume electricity and to emit vibration. Perhaps there is no longer a hand to flick their switches. Then, almost with relief we emerge into an emptiness of sustained notes with metallic resonance. Perhaps we are confined within the claustrophobic parameters of an abandoned space vehicle? Or perhaps we find ourselves deep within the Earth's core - her magnetic field playing havoc with our comfort zones. There are too many "perhaps", and herein lies the beauty and genius of Moments - it's ability to awaken your imagination into adventurous and limitless directions. Track 14 is caustic and subliminal. We feel the winds of after burn bloat the atmosphere. While tracks 16 and 17, assault us with their monotone and intrusive humming, again pitched at the low-frequency end of the scale. And I could go on, for their are 99 (count them!) tracks in all. Mike[sic] Harris has fashioned a masterpiece of sound from the alien and lonely world of machinery and electrical emissions. Marvelous!
