all that I read here was near to saying it was shit well I must say i completely disagree I know clark is not really loved here, he is taken as an bad aphex imitator well,... I always disagreed with that and also enjoyed most of his work... maybe never really got ultra excited with boddy riddle despite of the first great impression.... but turning dragon is absolutley gorgeous it sounds diferent, it sounds old and new at the same time... its playful, fat and strong sounding love it one of the albums of 2008 for sure excellent no matter what the big heads of xltronic say |

I like Clark, and don't think he's an aphex imitator. I like most of his stuff, but I'm not too keen on his latest album, but I like See See from the ep and Penultimate Persian. |

I doubt mp3 could stand the vinyl experience |

I do like it, apart from that filtered whiney thing on track 4 that's REALLY LOUD and ruins the beautiful pads during the second half. And then it all goes distorted, which is quite fun I guess. |

it's pretty terrible. I still love Clark though, Empty The Bones is a great, great album. This was just a really rough patch for him imo. He'll come back strong. |

"all that I read here was near to saying it was shit" True, Clark bashing happens a lot here but I remember one of the last threads which actually was more positive than negative. There were much more postive replies than ever before. The problem here is that a big part tend to express what and how much they don't like a certain release/artist rather than what they do like. That's most likely why Clark has such a negative vibe over here. I still prefer Body Riddle over Turning Dragon, TD still needs to sink in I guess. |

I adore his earlier albums, especially the first two. Turning Dragon seemed too distorted and industrial (?) to my taste, but I certainly didn't hate it, and I feel some potential there. But there's a layer of off-putting filtering to the album that really distracts me. |

Clark is one of my favorite electronic artists and he is very original. However, this is his worst album. Doesn't even feel like an album to me, which is very UN-Clark like. I look forward to seeing what he does next. Hopefully, he will continue along the ETBOY and Body Riddle path. I also agree that clark is MUCH better on a soundsystem because of his production style. I always like his production style up until Turning Dragon where I thought he went a little overboard. |

i wouldnt go as far as saying he'll come back strong, considering the release of the album was bundled with comments that absolutely had to make it clear that these were tracks he wrote the tracks during body riddle but didnt fit. as much as im sure its brilliant for some people, it just doesnt click for me. and im guessing that was expected with some fans. |

it's making dance music and failing. |

DRAGON was my first Clark purchase and I love it. Something about the music on the CD reminds me of the joy I experienced listening to classic Warp releases like HARD NORMAL DADDY and RDJ ALBUM, without sounding like either. I'm NOT happy with how the sounds were mixed though. The music has a very dry, scratchy quality pushed too far into the extreme. Almost all the elements sound like they were being pushed into red zone volume. It sounds awful on headphones, but through a decent speaker system it fares a bit better. |

i like TD, and i wonder if he did something so different partially because of people calling him derivative. Body Riddle did reference some popular idm styles, but i think it was still really good and he has enough of his own signature that he he more than stands on his own. TD isn't quite a perfect album, and i have issues w it too but i think it was a cool idea and when it is good its really good. |

The amped out industrial rave thing almost goes back to something like some older download or noise unit. I think it is a cool sound and doesn't sound like the same old same old. |

Also I'm quite pissed off that I missed him live in Belgium a couple of weeks ago. People must move like mad men on things like New Year Storm. |
