Clark

I should start this review by saying I have a series of albums from Clark. He's one of the modern artists I most admire, in particular for his creativity, depth, and always experimental stance on everything he does. This album in particular, is the one that first introduced me to his work, and is populated with wonderful tunes, that actually take you on a journey. He's one of the rare artists where his albums are a narrative that demands to actually be heard with attention. Each listen reveals something different and interesting details. Worth getting.

Firstly, if you want regressive, repetitious and familiar fair, buy Silvered Iris and move on. You can leave the rest of the genius of this album for those who crave progression; the fans who lie in wait for greatness in the shadows bemoaning sameness. Clark shines on this effort which leans to a harder, darker sound reminiscent of minimal techno and garage beats. However, every Clark album will be indelibly tinged by an idiosyncratic flavor of hyperkinetic rhythms and off-center notions. This could very well be his greatest work. It flows with a continuity not yet seen in previous releases and, if not completely listener friendly, defies the odds that predict an EDM artist must wallow in traditional patterns of similarity in order to be recognized. Cheers to Clark...More please!
