Turning Dragon’ is without a doubt a typical Clark album (breakdowns, shifts in rhythm, stuttering synths), only is it far more heavier than any other of the man’s releases. The seconds pound on with the occasional breather, only to pick up pace again. Some compositions bare resemblance to a crossbreed of early Luke Slater and µ-Ziq - covered in rich Clark gravy. Turning Dragon’ stands for surprising skull-drilling that never bores and makes one curious of what else is up Chris Clark’s sleeve!

Clark - Turning Dragon Chris Clark signed to Warp when he was still at university and released a debut album (Clarence Park) that drew comparisons with the label’s finest, Autechre and Aphex Twin. And so Turning Dragon drops with a thud, heavy with expectation and yet shrouded in mystery. The packaging is dark and abstract, and the track names suitably opaque (‘Violenl’,.

Clark's fourth full-length album, Turning Dragon, found Clark exploring a less organic and more mechanised sound, with Pitchfork declaring that it "takes a detour from Clark's ultimate goal of meshing man and machine into one seamless, clattering bundle" and " finds the robots taking the upper hand". Iradelphic was released on Warp Records in April 2012. The album was described by The Quietus as "less ethereal, more compact and cohesive" than earlier work.

Clark's Turning Dragon is the sort of ear-puncturing blast of four-on-the-floor electronica that negates headphones, seated listening, resting heart rates, and neighborly civility. Flipping that old Nick Drake adage, even when played quietly, the record just sounds loud. This isn't to say the record isn't scattered with moments of cloud-parting beauty, but even a track like "Mercy Sines," which appropriately begins and ends with merciful chiming sine waves, eventually ruptures into static-drenched discord and melody-free bass slams.

Talk about Clark - Turning Dragon


Modigas
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.
