jules Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 I agree to an extent but isn't it a bit unfair to want a progressive artist to be doing the same thing he was doing 10 years ago? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcbpete Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 I wasn't necessarily meaning the same style, but at a similar level of programming - Like the new stuff seems kinda half hearted compared to his older stuff which saw him really pushing his ideas across as intensely as possible. It seemed like he was really trying to prove his mettle, and now is just doing things kinda by numbers. I mean don't get me wrong, I don't hate his recent output, just that it seems a little disappointed compared to what he used to be like with the depth of his sound.

jules Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 yea, i mean i get that, and i can agree with it too. I'm going to hold judgement on the new stuff until i actually hear the new stuff. the live phosphor material sounded ridiculously good. i am assuming a lot of that is going to be on the new one, in which case, it will be awesome. but it won't be the 'idm' he was exploring in 2001/2002.

Friendly Foil Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 I personally think Clark's newer stuff sounds a lot more confident in what it wants to be. It knows where it wants to go and pulls it off perfectly (most of the time), I think. A lot of his earlier stuff could get a little gimmick-y sounding with all those crazy edits and effects.

mcbpete Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 Hopefully the conviction in the sound (as apparently was evident in the live phosphor show) will raise it from 'meh' to 'yeah!' (ugh, can't believe I typed something so cheap sounding!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest trananhhung Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 I had a visit from a friend this weekend who lives in berlin. She went to behrgain a couple of times and if Clark is a regular there it would explain that photo. She told me the place was mental. Techno, every synthetic drug you can think of and people having sex everywhere. Sounded awesome but it can make you old quickly. I should govthere for Christmas.

I should govthere for Christmas. i don't think he's clubbing often at least in some interviews after his move he said he almost never goes out clubbing the promo pic is supposed to look a bit evil and twisted i guess or its really unfortunate and mcpete i feel you i want that adventurous old clark back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheatheman Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 I like unfurla quite a bit. I bet it's awesome in context. that's what we said about com touch lol, true indeed. i hope it's the song i skip rather than the song i skip to. i mean, i wouldn't skip it if the rest was good, but if it's the high point i won't even get the album. well, i guess i would have to get it to find out. but it might end up growing cold in some shadowy corner of my HDD. at least it will keep ETBOY and Iradelphic company.

BobDobalina Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 In the time it took you to write that 3 local record shops just closed for good Chris defiantly has the potential to make a truly great album (body riddle), and although I've rated successive releases lower I've got a good feeling on this one. At first the s/t thing was a turn off, but now it feels more like "this is my illest shit son, reckon with it!" So I eagerly await as to whether it actually delivers. Also more 4/4 and less 6/8 pls we can hope Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MassfreeKid Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Unfurla is a bit generic tho, isn't it? I don't see how it has a strong personality amongst the mass production of other house, techno, feel-good 4/4. Not bad at all. I just hope the rest of the album is a bit more unique.

Guest trananhhung Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 People are going to hate me for this, but the best way I found to enjoy this track is to think that I'm listening to Tiesto and then marvel at how good the track is for a Tiesto track.

Friendly Foil Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 I don't like it when an artist seems to have fun performing live. It's better when they stare angrily at their laptop for an hour and doesn't move an inch, as if what they're doing is the most frustrating and boring thing they've ever had to do.
