Clarence Park had some nice moments. I also liked his 12"/ep afterwards which had some really nice tracks on it. But ever since his 2nd album, his output just hasn't done anything for me. I like the catchy dancefloor tracks like Ted and Frau Wav (Brief Fling) but they're still a case of style over actual sunstance. Tracks like Heliosphan have stood the test of time. I don't think I will be able to say the same for anything from Clarks catalogue so far. |

empty the bones of you was classic, but now its sounds too much like bibio, which i am not a big fan of. but i like you never know what he is going to do, so i suspect body riddle was just a phase. |

I liked the last hecq album very much. Nothing groundbreaking by any means, but it was certainly a pleasent listen. |

tell me this..how many people in electronic music put bit of their self in the music?..not many..and clark certanly isn't one of them so it means it's all bullshit. |

what does that mean 'put themselves'? just by making something you are putting yourself in it because it's YOUR song. you make it after your tastes and what you want. it sounds to me like clark actually puts a lot of himself into it, his soundscape and general concept is pretty unique as far as ive heard. |

he puts his laaaalalas in some of the tracks... |

That isn't a very nice argument, my dear sir. I don't listen to music to have personalites shoved into my face. |

machines lead his way instead the other way around. |

i heard him singing lalala and it wasnt a machine! |

right, i take it all back then. |

chris clark is amazing, isnt he? |

most amazing thing that ever happened. in whole of the history of amazing things! |

I still wonder why Clark is being flamed on this board so much. Influenced by, or not, the guy is a great musician in my opinion. I can't wait to hear something new by him. It still amazes me how much members have to express what they don't like. I never feel the urge to comment in a topic about a certain artist how bad it really is... Anyway, I'm being guilty of the same now by venting my thoughts. |

machines leading the way is not necessarily a bad thing - machines now a days are good things. they are more human now than they were in the past. |

Haha! I think for me it's a bit like this.. There's the Beatles followed by the Monkees which inspired Backstreet boys and later Westlife. Clark is the currently the Westlife of the IDM boybands. Mainly cover versions and a few ballads thrown in. |
||||||||
|
|

It just doens't interest me. |
||||||||
|
|

That's a lovely comparisson. Although the music of Westlife doesn't appeal to me at all I believe they have a fair amount of listeners worldwide. Given your previous remark about Clark being a cheap copycat (if I'm right) this comparisson isn't that bad at all. He gained a bit more respect from you. Way to go ;) |

Westlife are massive! as you know it's a double edged compliment. You do the BOC board is that right? |

Yeah, I recently took over the forum.. how do you know? |
||||||||
|
|

All I do all day is search 'aesthetics'. Surely you have a bit more taste or are you a warp fanboy? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

sorry but you dont know much about music making then.. the emotion contrary to popular belief, does not lie in planning out and creating something from the inside, it lies in exploring sound/notes and then finding something that you like. then you mold it into what you feel is appropriate. very few if any musicians have ever created something exactly like they have in their heads, they rather explore and find something they like THEN they put their emotions into it. machines are vital to human emotion in electronic music. |

Yeah I play Warp records music all day long, it's an addiction of which I can't get rid off... and believe me, I really tried. I totally freaked a while ago when I was watching a movie about a girl who's taking 'revenge' on her internet date. Suddenly out of nowhere a Warp song kicked in and the whole movie made a sudden turn! Eventhough the various of uncomfortable scenes it totally saved my day... can you believe that? I even wonder how the director came across this song you know.. perhaps he's also a Warp records fanboy? Or doesn't know Warp at all and just knows the artist. Either way, the director surely has a great taste! |
||||||||

Even if he's unoriginal-which I don't think he is-is it really that awful? There's loads of rubbish, samey sounding music from other genres; at least Clark does the whole Autechery-Aphex-Warp sound well. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the thing is clark can't seem to find any emotion as it just turns out blank music. "then you mold it into what you feel is appropriate" that's the thing..why think what is appropriate? thinking just messes up music. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
"thinking just messes up music." Maybe not a hundred percent of the time, but yeah, agreed, and great quote. |

Clark is the bestest at IDM. I think IDM's shit by the way. |
