springtime epigram turned me off cause it sounds so much like boc its almost a ripoff. both in mood and actual technicality. this goes for dew in mouth as well.. matthew unburduned is one of the better tracks, but to me, this whole album isn't that good. beneath the layers of compression, noise and sound, there isn't all that much content. what i mean by this is that I don't really hear many good SONG IDEAS. vengeance drools for instance, it sounds like prodigy, only more compressed and louder. it seems he has a technique that he applies on average song ideas, and then somehow creates something that sounds new. but if the bottom song idea isn't that good, then i'm sorry but its only half as good as it can be. i mean if you really listen to the tracks, there aren't that many new ideas in rhythm and composition, nor in arrangement or melody. not that music that follows a certainly formula can't be good, but in this case i feel he hasn't quite pulled it off. not for me anyway. one last thing, i do appreciate what he's trying to do, but i think he did it better on his last album. |

he should just change his name (again) to "Sounds Like..." and we can all go home. |

the first track is good. the rest of the tracks aren't very original sounding to me. i hear autechre, BOC, aphex twin, prefuse, amon tobin... but i don't hear anything distinctly chris clark. shit when i first listened to 'Matthew Unburdened" i thought it was a remix of autechre's 'Vietrmx 21.' then 'Night Knuckles,' which is very pretty btw, sounds like a slightly harsher remix of aphex's 'nannou.' i mean i like it, but jeez, does clark even have a 'signature sound?' or is his 'thing' is that he is a Warp doppelganger? |
||||||||

|

| |||||||||
|
|
yes. and people seem to like it that way. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

i think he was more distinct previously, to be honest. anyway, my biggest problem with this album is just how loud and void of any real dynamic it is. just sounds like it's about the heavy production and how thumpy and obnoxious it can be. the "ripoff" factor is so so, 99% of music is pretty derivative anyway, and i think he's got some cunning ideas in there on tracks like frau wav and dew in the mouth (medulla b-side? ^_____^). it mostly sounds like empty crap, though. |
||||||||

i think some of the reasons why people like it is because it tells them something about what the music is trying to convey. like if i listen to a track, i can appreciate not only the music itself, but also waht lifestyle, mood, intention etc the track and track maker has. it's like you are living a part of his life, or you are transported into another world that you like, and thus you like the music. the music doesnt even have to be that good as long as it has those signals. |

He's one of the second generation of Warp musicians, like Claro, who instead being influenced by Jungle, Techno, Ambient, Hip Hop etc, is influenced by...earlier Warp musicians. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
whos claro? you mean brothomstates, you noob! boards of canada (remember, they joined warp quite late) [chris] clark brothomstates quinoline yellow the new generation of IDM - is this IDM2? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah, all I remember is hearing that Claro Intellecto record and thinking that it was pretty unoriginal.... Nah, BOC have their own sound, they signed in '97-'98 perhaps the last of the 1st gen. |

just ordered body riddle from warpmart |
||||||||
|

|
|
well, you didnt like analord at the beggining, neither... :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
wtf! hahaha i just forgot about the second page... lets forget it... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i was blinded with analord 10 (which btw isn't my fav one anymore) but aphex and clark are two different things tho. the thing is i just like to see some effort put in in terms of songwriting. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
songwriting LOL!!!! :D come on Tolstoyed, what are you talking about? please exaplain. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
im talking about being able to write a song, which clark obviously isn't :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hey ,hey hes very very able to make nice nice music, dont know why you talking about "songwriting", sounds like you wants him to do stuff like good singer/songwriters like that, but yeah I dont think Clark sits down and "write" music like that...its sounds so strange, I mean the words songwriter and Clark in the same sentence, I see CLark more as a producer/sound explorer and making ace tunes..songwriter, nah he doesnt make songs just phat tracks thats it ;) u mean like a good composition, like the way he structure tracks and builds it up or melody changes or melodies or what do you mean? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
autechre explore sound and do stuff with it. clark seems more like he's playing with sounds.. we can't all like same stuff so it's all good |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Just so we're all "clear" (little joke for the linguists), here's a handy Reference guide to the word Claro as pertaining to recent techno / IDM. Brothomsates - musician Claro - an excellent album by Brothomstates Claro Intelecto - musician Neurofibro - an excellent album by Claro Intelecto |

i loved BOC's TCH probably as much as you do so when i saw you creaming about this i was like, excited to hear it. but now i think it's crappy. i still love TCH though. listen to it practically every day still. but this.. this body riddle. i think it's crappy. what i'm trying to say is, YOU LET ME DOWN!! jerk. :D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i like body riddle. good album. shoot me |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
sorry mate, a missunderstanding...this certainly aint no TCH and thats for sure, and I hope I didnt write that in my recommendation...but Its a great album and one of the best albums so far this year. You should have asked me mate if its as good as or even close to TCH :D then there wouldnt have been a problem :P |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
This album is good but it dosent touch Clarence Park and it dosent even come CLOSE to Empty the Bones. Ted, however, is as good as any of the best songs on those albums. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i hope clark doesnt read this thread, he will became a bit sad, as ive read he almost see body riddle as his deffinitive album or something. it seems that he has put lots of effort (?) on it... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
he might cry and write depressing songs wouldn't mind hearing that though |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
naw, i just thought i could trust your judgement. but it would seem tastes can be similar and still very different. |
||||||||
|

"Im quite chocked at the moment and havent been excited like this since I first heard Roygbiv back in 98." "You should have asked me mate if its as good as or even close to TCH :D then there wouldnt have been a problem :P " this seems like a clash to me..like you were overexited at first and have calmed sown after you read all the comments by people who don't see this as particulary good release. i have nothing personal against clark btw, it's just his music that is dubious :) if he reads this thread he might try and actually do something good :-) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
:/ seems like to be excited is a bad thing around these electronic music forums...:( yeah, I was very happy when I heard the album and today I was amazed how goood the album is when me and a friend (Sejd on this forum) chilled out to it, reallly nice experience...dont take everything to litterally...its easily one of the best albums this year, hands down...its not better than TCH. It has some tracks thats as good as a lot of tracks on Music Has the right or even better than some tracks on it...whats the deal? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
this album is great. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
youre are great too. its nice to see comments by you in other threads, not only in yours... althought it means a shorter way to the 30000... please, leave this stupid idea and be happy. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
was that meant to me?! if...why are you friendly to me? I get paranoid when people are friendly on these kind of forums :P its scary, so unusual...im going home this is too scary :(..going to listen to freescha on my way home,by the way, their new album is stunning, have to make a new topic about that one before im leaving :D nice melack, u gave me a good idea to "big up" freescha, they deserve it, top notch stuff!!!! :D |
