My fav Chris Clark release. The only one I own, but I have heard the rest.
This album is amazing, and the first purchase done after reading a lot about the album here and getting it recommended on XLT.
That was about a year ago, btw.

every track is amazing and different... it lacks a bit of cohesion, tho...
lord of the dance caveman lament diesel raven...
every track has something that makes it sublime...

Very good release. I bought this after I heard Wolf on the WarpSampler, and I've been a CC-fan ever after.

Its got some great stuff and I enjoy it, but next to Empty The Bones Of You, it's not really a proper album. Definetly worth a tenner though... nothing quite like Lord Of The Dance.

I would give it 6.5/10. It's not bad but nowhere near the quality of his more recent material.

In what way do you think "Clarence Park" is similar to "Empty
The Bones Of You".. I don't really like ETBOY, but I really love CP.

I like it cause it's short - I mean, it never gets boring...
There are no tracks that I don't like. Some tracks are a bit short, and I thought that was annoying at first, but then I started to like the album as a whole (instead of individual tracks), and then I accepted it.
I really like this album!

I really like thoose darker tracks... Are all tracks about a park? I try to relate them all to parks anyway, what you may see and experience in them... I think it works really well that way.

'Bricks' is a coolest track here for me - I don't get Chris Clark yet. I'm trying real hard, but yet no success :(
but 'Bricks' rocks.

It seems strange to me.

'Proper LoFi' is one of the most hard-hitting, emotional IDM tracks I know.. it just kills me.
As a whole, the CD is pretty patchy. Even some of the ambient bits are very nice, it's just got a frustrating track progression, to me. Great moments but terrible flow.

shit i sure have started a lot of these discuss this feature things.
since i haven't really commented about the release, i'll say this:
it's alright. like people said, has some good moments but really no flow. it's a bunch of crap put together, not really an album.

i second this post..really nothing else to add except matvey..try diesal raven, if you cant get that then put down clark and try another artist, i would say you are not into him.
raven is by far his most accessible track, quite beautiful too.

"it's a bunch of crap put together, not really an album" do you also think about Drukqs in the same way?

bricks is mental! i love it :D *blasting it now ...don't think my neighbours are very happy :)*
lord of the dance brings flute-y happy happy joy joy feelings. fun as hell, if you consider hell to be a fun place. easily his most accessible song.
other tracks i like on this album are Proper Lofi and Diesel Raven. i usually skip the piano tracks, i'll have to give them a proper listen though.
chris clark's production is really exciting

when i play this i usually start with The Chase, skip Lord of The Dance, and play the rest of the B side. Diesel Raven such a great track. In general i think this album is just as good as Empty The Bones.

eh, yeah drukqs i'd consider an album, although it is somewhat like a bunch of crap thrown together.
some of the stuff sounds similar enough for it to just pull it off.

a great e.p. shame he's never managed to best it, most of what he's done since has been sonically fantastic but emotionally cold IMO.

dunno about curbcreeper but I think that statement sums up druckqs perfectly, not CP though.
