Headphone Commute Review

Chris Clark is growing on me. In 2001 we got introduced to Clark through Clarence Park. In 2003, we saw him evolve with Empty The Bones Of You. Body Riddle was the 2006 release when Christopher Stephen Clark simply went by his last name. But in 2008, Clark is Turning Dragon. This is a much harder, slamming, compressed thud, that keeps the heart pumping, and the brain tweaking. Five years in the making (guessing by the fact that previous LP was simply an archive of earlier and unreleased material), Clark is the front-runner of the experimental drive merging dark IDM and ferocious beats, where the genre thrives. The first half of the album employs a welcoming onslaught of pounding 4/4 beats. Turning up the volume, I'm reminded of the early warehouse events where the bass slapped off the cold walls. But does four-to-the-floor formula immediately categorize as techno? Slapping the latter term may understate the complexity of the production - it is very far from minimal or repetitive approach. The detail may surprise even the fans already familiar with Clark's perfectionism. Further into the album, Clark breaks up the rhythm, and keeps on grinding. To share in the brutal intensity that hurts so good, Clark has offered an Album Sampler [see direct links below]. If you enjoyed the ride, seek out the December '07 vinyl, Throttle Promoter, or hit bleep dot com for instant digital gratification. Recommended if you like the darker side of Autechre, Funckarma, and AFX.

quite an achievement

Alright I understand everyone being enamored of Body Riddle, but I am completely at a loss to explain how anyone thinks this isn't as good. Turning Dragon is, in my opinion, better than Body Riddle. To say that the pathos is missing on this album is to completely ignore tracks like "Ache of the North," "Mercy Sines" or, for that matter, the unbelievable "For Wolves Crew". Sure, it never gets as aggressively lachrymose as "The Autumnal Crush," but do we really want it to? This is a stunning album.

whoa

body riddle was a huge achievement for clark, but continuously trying to top your best efforts is impossible for anyone to do. so clark seemed to have tried to avoid this by exploring new sounds and energu with turning dragon. i think it works. the only thing i might complain about is the lack of the big, dramatic bass we heard in much of body riddle; which is kind of perplexing for an album influenced by club beats. the one thing that really made me love this album though is that there are a lot of sounds that instantly reminded me of clarence park. i certainly don't think this album marks a new direction for clark, just an exploration; and he does it using some signature clark sounds.
