jesus, why dont more people talk about him? hes in
undoubtedly on par with autechre, aphex, etc. all the warp
greats. clarence park is like the condsensed version of
drukqs, and empty the bones of you is simply flowing badass
bliss. i cant wait until his next release. nnngya!

I hated clarence park, i dont see how it even compares to
drukqs.

Empty the Bones is amazing though.

there's just something about it thats very reminicent of
druqks. the variety of the tracks (ie little piano
interludes and the such), the combo of warm happy melodies
with hadbadass beats, i dunno, the two just seem to sit in
the same section of my brain.

I don't get the drukQs reference, but j'adore both his
albums and the EP, he's definitly one of my favourite
electronickers thats currently active

I liked him live, his act could be improved but he plays
good music and he interacts. Basically his music sounds
gorgeous in a club though.

I saw him twice. His tracks were not that different and
mixing was minimal. I just thought the little that he did
worked, just a bit of MPC fucking around mostly, and his
tracks sounded good, some excellent dancier stuff thats not
on the albums, and generally just fun musics.

i saw him live with Plaid and Luke vibert.

Luike vibert stucked ass, played a set off Rebirth and hid
behind his gear most of the time.
Plaid had a SICK ASS robotic arm showing the audience....
get this..... a fucking MACKIE MIXER. FUCKING SICK SHIT
MOTHER FUCKER

chris clark was above and beyond the latter, he played good
music, was physically into it (instead of being a stoned
bored looking dick), made the audience dance, and didnt have
a faggy uncreative visual in the background (specifically a
robotic arm that made me want to commit suicde)
his music isnt too original, but who gives a fuck? Its not
like aphex, and others from Warp are striving to be ground
breaking these days.

at the leeds show it just sounded like he'd put some drum
loops into his MPC and was just looping drums. very little
else. Although he did play Wolf and Gob Coitus which sounded
bad ass

His tracks that are killer live are Diesel Raven and this
acid jungley thing he played both times I was there. And
Luke Vibert live is usually a stomper in my experience.

I like chris clark. When the massive dissapointment that was
druqks came out, chris clark was what made me feel better
about it all. Beautifull melodies. Very conceptual, very
emotional, good music.

haha yeah what were they thinking. there is absolutely
nothing cool about hands endlessly turning knobs on a mixer.
and what could they possibly be doing? every 3 seconds or so
they're turning knobs and nothing changes! the song remains
the same!

that' sthe problem with most 'Live' electronica shows these
days. Now that everybody uses laptops everything's
programmed and it's questionable as to whether its actually
'Live'. I think half of them are actually just playing
solitaire and playing a CD

you lucky so and so. seeing him live kinda lowered my
opinion of him. kinda expected a bit more.

Have you read that he thinks he sounds like prince?
WTF??????

i fell in love with that man with clearence park. althought
its not a incredible album. it is more like a compilations
of good songs. almost all tracks are amazing and showing how
the man can create good tracks in all styles (the ambients
tracks like caveman lament are incredible...)... but then he
released empty the bones and states his own style what i
really appreciate as i was really expecting what direction
he was going to take and he just took his own. he
demonstrated that hes not only an excelent artist, but also
a talented one (in his capacity to invent, in the ae, afx
way someone noticed in the top)...
omg, im so shit at writting long texts... but you get the
point...

ps: i dont get the drukqs connection
ps2: ceramics is aceness too!!!

very true statement.

Even programs like "Abelton Live" are deceptively not
really live, to me its the equivelent of Djing. Hell i'd
rather see somebody use turntables then an Abelton live
laptop set (and that's fucking sad).

nah if your playing thru midi gear connected to live and
using stuff like reaktor and max patches within ableton live
you can do pretty insane stuff - perhaps yeah if yr just
loading in wavs and playing them straight thne yeah fuck
that.

also what the hell - vibert said in FM that he hates
rebirth.... doubt he'd use it live - perhaps reason? even
then he has been amazing 3/4 times i've seen him...
