Ok, this is it, im so happy right now. I got the chance to hear Clarks new album Body Riddle and what can I say...
Im quite chocked at the moment and havent been excited like this since I first heard Roygbiv back in 98.
You can really hear how much time he put in this work, its astonishing! the sublte details on this album are second to none this year.
Im so impressed by the way the work of Body Riddle is done, its such a fresh album and really is something else. I must say that I find it hard that their will
be a better album by anyone this year and I dont buy a lot of albums these days but I will certainly go out and cop this one!!!
You can hear that he put his soul and heart into this album (as he did with his others also), but I was a bit worried after I heard Throttle Furniture wich I also really like
but I wanted more emotional music like Herr Bar on the full album and not dancey tunes like the other ones. What the album have is fantastic material in the same vein
as Herr Bar, an album cant get more emotional than this..what about the epic final track!!!! :O the album is short, sweet and tasty :D
You can feel and hear how much effort he layed on this one, you feel the frustration, the anger, the passion and the sadness all over it...its such a beauty that you cant describe with words, you have to hear it by yourself, do yourself a favour and order the album NOW!!!!!!!! You wont be dissapointed.
Album of the year, hands down.

Nice stuff. I'm really looking forward to this album. Haven't heard it, and I guess I'm gonna stay away from SLSK and just preorder it from Warp so I can check my mailbox like an excited little kid.

I'm with Staz. The EP was a lot better. The albums isn't terrible by any means. In fact it's quite good but I had my hopes up for something more from the strength of the EP.

the production on the album is incredible, beats or no. the way sounds interact with one another is also something i havent heard any other idm artist do properly (or any artist do, really). the mixture of field recorded sounds and synthesis. it's short, to the point, nothing is too lengthy.
i normally don't care for ambience mixed with "beat heavy" music, but here it works perfectly. instead it's just part of the whole, and very seamless.
it's a unique and heavy record. absolutely one of my favorites of this year, if not my overall favorite.
hopefully it's "non-wicked beats! man i want wicked beats for 6 minutes straight god damnit i am so pissed argfh idm drill n bass" status does not work against it.

"archie. youre always entusiasthic" hehe yeah it seems like, but if the haters (not you :)) really think about it, they will realise that im only jumping on the dick (hyping like theres no tomorrow) of a artist who really really deserves it, and like I said imo Clark MADE IT!!! well fuck it, "Disasemble" described what I tried to describe in a much better way so read his post :D im not that good at english :/
anyway read what Clark himself said, interesting stuff (from milkfactory)
Many journalists have struggled to adequately describe your music over the years. It seems something that you are reticent to do as well. If you were forced to describe it what would you say?
Heheh , Forced how? Like now in an email or something a bit more sinister? I think it’s a good thing that people struggle to find descriptive terms and lingo. With the new LP I suspect this may be even more apparent. Hopefully the time I have spent honing the new material has paid off and will demonstrate this with total precision (that last sentence sounds quite amusing if you read it to yourself in a German accent). It doesn’t sit easily as a genre piece of any kind. That’s why I will never be as commercially ubiquitous as say Mylo (is that a good example? I dunno) but also hopefully shows why my conviction in music is deep-rooted, and is, clearly to anyone who knows me good and proper, a life long pursuit. Even a lifetime is nothing, a blip in terms of the musical landscape you can explore. I’m sorry to make life awkward with my reticence. I guess a central thing in a lot of the new tracks on the LP is that feeling of “what is it? I don’t know what this is?” It definitely isn’t techno, hip-hop, IDM, drum and bass, classical, death metal, electro, acoustic. But elements of all of these “fashions” must somehow permeate my work. I feel it is just not up to me to tell you how and in which way they do, and in which way the listener should interpret any hidden meanings that may be buried beneath the surface fabric of the music. In a sense

this relative absence of my “writer’s intention” is totally undeliberate… It’s not like I even know myself what my music says and this is how I want it.
Rather than explore one sentiment go between the spaces; consider the contradictions. For instance on completion of one track for the LP I was so chuffed I pegged around Birmingham on my bike for ages... partly shit scared that I would die before handing my LP in, whilst also laughing my head off, grinning maniacally and simultaneously weeping for joy. It must have looked a right sight. Quite what this is supposed to say about the human soul I really don't know.
Well said Clark, im feeling it (whatever it is)! :D

i didn't like 'empty the bones of you' and have ignored this guy since. but since everyone is creaming about this, i put in 'empty the bones...' again tonight. i still don't like it. therefore, i am reluctant to bother with 'body riddle.' i'll probably just steal it like everything else and give it a sniff anyway though.
