I think where Clark is at the moment is one of the most exciting times for electronic music. He has consistently pulled out good material over the years and there has always been a high interest in his work. It's easy to make out he's the new Aphex Twin, but it is a lazy comparison. I doubt anyone will be as groundbreaking and inventive as Aphex for a while. But what Clark has captured is Aphex's output during the mid to late 90's: changing and evolving his sound, alot of reworkings of original tracks, all with a subtle sense of humour and irony (his remix for Milanese with the piss-take of Prodigy at the start). Clark ain't no Aphex, but he's an exciting prospect. |

i'm looking forward to seeing what he churns out next |

you should maybe lend an ear to some decent music some time. perhaps. |
||||||||

Clark is crap. Surely you get enough copy cats in these 'IDM' circles. what's the point? Does this aphex/amateur market need to be filled? I don't think so. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
It's funny how you pop-up once the name Clark has been typed :) There obviously is a market for Aphex inspired musicians... |
||||||||

i'd say apparat |

clark has done some 'neat' things. but please, keep it at that. stop the worshipping, fanboi. |
||||||||

Chris Clark made some decent stuff before, but I really don't like his recent output at all. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Come on, he's hardly "amateur". Whether you like him or not (I happen to really enjoy a fair bit of his music), I think it's obvious he can produce well. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i find his stuff immensely inaccessible. the only track i really liked from the start is gob coitus. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
omg if he is the future kill me now please |
||||||||

I think Body Riddle is pretty bad, although I've liked his releases up until now |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i didnt really like anything on body riddle with the exception of night knuckles. but i do really like throttle clarence. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it isnt like body riddle is a life chaning album. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i think body riddle is a good album, ive really enjoyed it... i dont know if clark is the futur, but he is nodoubt doing interesting stuff. |
||||||||
|

Ted is a classic IDM dance song in my opinion. The transition into Roulette Thrift Run is simply wonderful, as if Ted continues but after a while you realize it's a different song. Also his live performance with a real drummer is ace! Clark has yet to dissapoint me. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I liked a couple of tracks off ceramics but other than that I find it all boring. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Does not sound like future. The end. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i absolutely love clarence park and empty the bones of you, but his most recent output has left me somewhat lukewarm. personally, i think if he had continued going where empty the bones seemed to be headed he'd be a lot more "future" than he is now. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the future does not have a sound as such. if in a minute's time i emit a fart, the sound of the future surrounding me in five minute's time would be the sound of a fart. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i like clark |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

I dislike clark, body riddle collects dust on my shelf. His music sounds to me like he is trying hard to be many different things, without any clear structure/direction, or any genuine creativity. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Clark is very hit and miss but has produced some classic tracks. He needs consistency as too much goes through one ear and out the other, but I look forward to his releases all the same. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
very few producers have or ever will produce a track half as good as diesel raven |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yea if the future of idm is dead |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
One thing's for sure, IDM is no longer intelligent. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it never has been in my opinion Einstein, now this guy was intelligent. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Not really, he was instrumental in facilitating the development of the atom bomb. Is that intelligent? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
he liked the beatles though |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
so was Newton. don't be a retard. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the process of developing the atom bomb requires a lot of smartness, yes. ethically stupid perhaps. but scientifically still pretty damn clever. and btw, those atom bombs may have saved us from WW3. who knows. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Einstein was *not* a supporter of nuclear arms. These posts are uninformed. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It's not smart at all. Millions could do it if they applied themselves. It's a shame that it only takes one sad berk to devote his life to such a discovery, and then be so stupid as to leave it in the hands of those who have spurious intent. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hands of those who have spurious intent. just as if he had any choice, but, eventually, thats what your country says about the case anyway, eh ? you english roll. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I don't care about what my country says, I don't even care about my country. It doesn't represent me. |
||||||||
|
|

when you type, its like youre shitting on my brain and all the sweetcorn chunks are getting lodged in my synapses, oh my |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh but you represent it, you herring. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Roulette Thrift Run is a good tune, mind. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no future for electronic listeners sorry |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
thanks for that reminder, deisel raven truly is one of the best tracks ever. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
he may not be the future but body riddle is definitely in my top ten of idm/eye-dee-em/idea men albums. i'm looking forward to what he does next. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Clark most certainly isn't the future, but his zeal is. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
For awhile I would have agreed with this. Then came Body Riddle and the Clark Ship did begin to sink. |
||||||||
|

i dont understand people hating body riddle but liking older clark's stuff... i think its a natural evolution from empty the bones, and i like it even more, like a consolidation of the style... another thing is not liking the direction he has taken after the first amazing and varied clarence album... but loving "empty..." and hating "body riddle" is like an incoherent attitude to me... (if you dont agree, please explain!) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

I quite like "Body Riddle", and I don't really like "Clarence Park" (although it's got one or two nice pieces on it.) I do think Empty the Bones is superior to "Body Riddle", though; the tracks are more surprising, the ambient sections are more unusual and dissonant, and it just seems a little more daring overall. Even if it's not quite as cohesive as "Boddy Riddle", I think it's just that bit more imaginitive and unique. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

I'm listening to empty now, and man, he had so many more good ideas. Listen to the melody on the first track, indigo, the only one that comes close on body riddle is 'ted.' holiday as brutality is still fucking brilliant. umbilical is beautiful. where are all the epic tracks on body riddle? early moss.. cob goitus.. and i dont think i should even go on to clarence park. the guy still has a lot of potential but his latest output has been more 'ambient' and less 'melodic', which i think people react to. if you listen to body riddle, at least for me, i can't hear as many rock solid ideas as the ones i mentioned above. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
mmm thank you for the answers! maybe i should relisten empty the bones of you, but i remember it wasnt quite pleasant at my ears, like if there were lots of good ideas, but not clear structures, amazing ambiances, but not a solid groove... dont know really how to explain... but thats what body riddle gave me. and i also like when clark goes wild! ceramics tunes being amongst my favourites ohyes he played one of those the other day at sonar |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
melack oh, solid grooves.. yeah i guess it's not as groovy as body riddle. it's a matter of where you're coming from i guess.. |
