Took me a while to get into Clark. I didnt like his first album but loved his second, then retro-actively began enjoying his first.
We should be due a release sometime soonish I think?

I used to think aphex was the best at his game, untill chris clark came along. Chris clark also does a kick ass live set.

not that i know, but I heard him says that he is done with melodies. He wants to do non melodic music, donno about that then.

I thought he just said that empty the bones of you was going to be his most melodic album ever, and he didn't want to do anymore albums based mostly in melody ever again.

empty the bones of you is great, yeah. It was a breath of fresh air when I heard it (love those beat sounds!) and I want more of the guy's stuff. A good new Warp artist, maybe? Let's see where he goes next.

check out any liove sets you can... he brings in gorgeous jungle and tweaks his best tubes just right...... on eopf the best live warp acts arouind.
I first heard of him pre-Clarence Park when warp had a 3 hour video stream of "chris clark vs warp dj's" and it was real entertainin viewing..not as boring as it sounds. You want to have seen the studio they were in and the craic between the lads (i think dj ned was there)... and th emusic was corkin.
Anyone got this stream saved?

he is rather good live when i've seen him at leas - at the poke with ceephax, dmx krew and ellen allien he caned it. rather good night that,now i recall someof it...
i think his records are alright but his production techniques repeat themselves a bit too much for my liking, that kinda plasticky drum sound , mega compressed, still i reckon he has some great stuff in him yet.

i first saw Chris Clark at Nesh 2 @ Elektrowerks II in London. Clark rocked the turntables for 2 hours and truly knows how to work the crowd. No one knew who he was, but he had proper skillz. ;)

Ceramics is the bomb is good, the albums I'm not a fan of. I hope his new material moves away from the clicky sort of sound. it might be his 'style' but I find it tiring. I hope he is working on some wicked new material now, because he has potential...
.

Interesting factiod. I have been to THE Clarence park many many times. It looks like this:
traditional, but similar to today - the drinking fountain I have never known to work. the house to the left of it is the groundsmans house and used to have an exotic bird in a cage by the window when I was a kid.
The bandstand is still there and the big building looks out onto the St.Albans city football team ground.
random photo from the internet- to the right of this photo in the corner of the park there used to be public toilets but about 10 years ago it was renovated into a restaurant. They do nice italian ice cream in the summer. Lots of people still refer to the restaurant as 'the toilets'.

empty the bones is almost the opposite, but equally as awesome.

well, tolstoyed has been waging an anti-clarkism propaganda campaign on xltronic for several years now... doesn't make him any less good. empty the bones is pretty good, tho i don't listen to it all that often. on clarence park, lord of the dance and diesel raven are the standouts. i never got into the ep, but maybe i'll give it another listen tonight. i saw him live twice, once opening for plaid in vancouver and the other in a festival in amsterdam....his beats were pretty awesome.
