video didn't fit the music imo, nice work on the textures and realism but i don't really think that's enough to make an interesting video

How much more mileage can they wring out of the economy version of "Windowlicker" that is "Ted", what else is it going to be released on? The video of exotic insects is as pointless as it is attractive, and has about as much to do with the track as the track has to do with anything anyone might find remotely interesting apart from some of you silly buggers.

That video was horrible. I think they couldve achieved similar results by randomly flicking through nature channels on TV.

The video is fucking appalling...what little life the track had the video just sucked it out.
Chris should just call his next album "Music I hope they pick up for TV adverts for cars and mobiles" because that's all he seems to be aiming for. It's pretty sad that his music just sounds very, um, 2nd best and flat. Technically not bad but soulless.
Jackson does the style of music Chris does much better than Chris.

I think "Ted" is quite a nifty, catchy, nicely produced little track. I don't know why it's winding people up so much. I imagine he's releasing all these eps because he wanted "Body Riddle" to work as an album, which meant some good tracks couldn't make it as they didn't work within the overall scope of that release.

If his aim was to produce music that you didn't want to listen to, his success has been inordinate.

i dont really like where clark has gone with his production. it all sounds too muddy lately.
everything has this crisp, hard feel to it up until body riddle and its eps.

I can't think of one real worl example when I'd say "Hey, hang on a minute... check this out." It's like Ecnad says, it's short and repeptitve enough to be a track from an advert, and you'd say what's that track from that ad, and the answer would be that actually is the track from the ad, it's not edited at all, it's just 40 seconds of the same loop that sounds like it was lifted wholsale from Windowlicker, timestretched to three times its length, then released at least 3 times by Warp, god knows I can't wait for the extended 2 minute DVD release.

i wouldn't release Ted as an EP, but it doesn't matter. i like his music and hopefully will like this ep too.
that said, the description says the ep is "partly made up of reinterpretations, building on ideas and remixing tracks from the album."
welly welly?

I think this is the right way to do it. It's better to release a 45 min album, and then release an ep with out-takes, remixes and so on. I think his last album is quite ok, and another half hour with b-sides material wouldn't make it better.
Braindance: "Jackson does the style of music Chris does much better than
Chris." LOLmongo! They got the same style? Get a fucking grip.

Yes, you're right. Jackson actually produces some half interesting music.
Anything on Thriller shits on anything off Body Riddle. Chris just wishes he could come up with anything like 1,2,3 or Wanna Be Starting Something. To think otherwise is just foolish.

jackson and chris clark sound nothing alike. unless two artists who are 'heavily compressed and textured' somehow cannot be seperated, and we might as well compare the 923480239483 other artists who are 'heavily compressed and textured' as well.
but i guess for people who make unimaginably weak comparisons that are either nonsensical, or founded off one single aphex twin track and one single chris clark track that both have a thudded kick on the first and a snare-ish handclap on the 3rd, then a lot of irrelevant opinionated-yet-illlogical tripe will rear its ugly head from people who just like making a ton of noise about a release they hate, and god forbid if anyone likes it.
this release looks very boring and the video kind of blows. thats okay though.

Oh god, you're so right, no one say anything unless it's "Oh this is great" or "I don't like this, but I respect any creative endeavour, so, yeah, cool". In fact why have a textbox on this messageboard at all? Just have two radio buttons with the above "opinions" and you just pick which one you want for whatever topic's being "discussed".
A ton of noise.. on a messageboard, read mainly by people looking for Oink invites and Americans who woke up after the party had long finished. Fuck off.

i think the video really suits his sound, just in terms of what his sounds represents to me. that is; really skeletal yet gloopy. i remember describing it as rubbing against a skeleton in a pool of warm chocolate. i wouldn't mind watching some insects for 4 minutes.

ted is ted. the remix is the remix. then theres the other tracks.
generalizing a lot here.. but they're.. alright, somewhat nice and mellow songs right in the mood of body riddle, with the sound and the production pretty much exactly the same.
for me, this wasn't any near as interesting as his 2006 releases..
all with the exception of Bruise Animations.. which seems to be based on Matthew Unburdened, though it's totally different, with a detuned but real nice melody over those loud clark drums. yeah..

Haven't checked out his myspace, but I've DL and listened to the EP, and I think it's quite mediocre. The remix is actually very nice. A guitar-version of Ted :)
"Bruise animation" is ok, "Mia Farrow" sounds like Clark is just playing with noisey-ambient sounds, and is boring. "Springtime epiphany" is a sort of extended version of "Springtime Epigram" with xylophones and "Cremation Drones" sounds to me like another bored Clark having fun with sounds. Just like Throttle Clarence this is b-material except the remix. DL only for me.

Jackson does the style of music Chris does much better than
Chris that's the thing...it might be that Clark spends a lot less time for writing/mixing/sampling etc.
