Haven't listened yet but love to see the Dunk Murphy tracks in in the list. His stuff's always in rotation for me, especially the Friday Syndrome series.
Didn't realize he'd be supporting Autechre - hoping for some US dates!

Agreed about the vocal comments, the fact it's executive produced by Thom Yorke makes it hard to ignore his voice sounds like Thom.
When Growls Garden came out I was cautiously optimistic about the vocals, but ended up really enjoying them as well as on Totems Flare which might be my favorite Clark. Wish he had taken that vocal approach, or at least a mix of styles, rather than this consistent falsetto.
Still I've only played it once so far, after only listening to one of the singles, and will keep it in rotation. I'm glad he's taken things in a new direction after all the soundtrack stuff and the last few lackluster instrumental albums. Whether I end up loving this or not, I appreciate it's different.

Alright so I played it again today, bit more focused this time and I enjoyed it more. Still don't like the trance vibe of The Grass and Outsider (Clark's feature). Some quite good meaty tracks between those two though, and more varied than I initially thought. Standouts being Vimana and Hawk, but quite liked Boss Core, Crystal Vision, and Amen 96 too.

A 2016 album, never heard it - I couldn't bear to with this original artwork:

The Wizard Apprentice collab is a bit lame though and the collab with Clark disappointing. Come on, my little niece could come up with that lazy chord progression. So best is to skip both tracks and have a very adventurous EP.
Agree with this, was put off by The Grass (Wizard Apprentice track, never heard of them), much more trance than I like. And the Clark track was unfortunately lackluster.
I revisited Blizzards earlier in the week ahead of this and after my first listen on Friday I just felt this was pretty middle of the road. Will play again this week and see if I like it more.

This album is a lot to take in, have played it 3 times and it's definitely cohesive and beautiful, but at this point it's lacking a little something that The Animal Spirits and The Inheritors had. It's less engaging, there's less to grab onto. Definitely keeping it in rotation, great for staying focused on work at least.

great record
I had hopes an EP would be more solid but nah, gave this one 3/5. Two tracks are quite strong ("Secrecy Is Incredibly Important to the Both of Them" and "...And Loyalty Is a Nuisance Child") but the rest didn't work for me. Some just weak, others having annoying bits.
Changed my tune on the new album yesterday, listening to it again on my way home from work. Think it's more messy than I originally thought. If not for the post-punk instrumentation I might not really like it at all. Previous two LPs were stronger IMO.

like every yves tumor record... some really good tunes here, but also some really bad ones
Haven't picked any I find really bad on this, but generally agree in that he hasn't released a great record. Just good ones.
-
Title is cringe, but I like the album.
-
Oh thanks for the heads up, didn't know he was releasing more under this name. Normal Bias has some great stuff on it, but at 3 hours long it's not one I return to often. I hear a track once in a while when shuffling my electronic stuff.

I can’t remember if it was Body Riddle or Turning Dragon where he had to switch from Chris Clark to Clark.
Body Riddle (and associated EPs) was when he switched to Clark. The way you worded that made me wonder, was there a legal reason he had to?
-
Clark is now Alternative because of Thom Yorke. Also what's with this art?
Funny that initially I started to type out "Thom Yorke" to start that sentence, by accident, but typed it as Thom Clarke.

I no longer have expectations for Clark. This track sounds pretty cool though tbh. Sounds like both he and Thom have vocals on this track, but I could be wrong. The description on Bleep says Clark employs a falsetto at times so I guess it's just him, since Thom is called out as featured on a different track.

Looking forward to this, new track sounds great. First thing I heard was The Inheritors, and then The Animal Spirits in 2017. How's that one not been mentioned yet? I checked out The Idiots Are Winning until a couple years later and it's good but for me, not on the same level as the later two.

Really enjoyed that, looking forward to new season in 2 weeks.

Not really a fan of Rolling Stone or Best Of All Time lists but thought this was a good resource. There’s a few I’ve ticked for the near future. Seeing as I seem to prefer tv series nowadays to films it was worth a read.

I like this, as I'm honestly pretty tired of new shows and the overabundance of new shows that may or may not be good.
Wish it was easier to search things by decade on streaming platforms. Or just find deep cuts & classic series more easily rather than always being recommended new/trending stuff.

Finding this nice but also maybe not sequenced in the best way? It’s very front-loaded with the beats tracks like Urgent Jell Hack and Dead Shark back to back. Basically the first 4 and then it drops to more mellow and even ambient stuff. But I don’t know if there’s a better way to have all this coexist on the same release. A 12” of the beat tracks would be great.

Started This Fool last night. I laughed and will continue watching.

Still waiting for Better Call Saul s5 to hit Netflix.
Stopped watching Stranger Things s4 a few weeks ago with 15 minutes left on the clock in the final episode.
Stopped watching Loot after 2 episodes even though we like Maya Rudolph because it just wasn't doing it for us. Too unrealistic I guess.
Recently finished On Becoming a God in Central Florida and I Love That For You on Showtime, both of which were good.
Enjoying What We Do in the Shadows s4, Only Murders in the Building s2, Dexter New Blood, Brooklyn Nine-Nine s8 (and just realized I have 4 episodes left and they expire in 12 days), The (new) Kids in the Hall, Industry s2, the new Beavis and Butt-Head s1, House of Dragons, and I just started Detroiters.

Wow, back from the dead with that quote. Interesting that I haven't done a lot of hiking at all the last 5 years, miss it. I'm heading out on a road trip for about a week, Oregon and Northern California. Mostly planning to do some scenic drives and some time at the beach, really should think about some actual hikes. I'll be alone so I can do what I want. And the quote really reminds me of what I need from this trip - to leave all my problems behind and find some liberation.
