NorthernFusion Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 I'm not really digging it, sounds pretty dull to me, but Clark lost me a few years back, so there's probably some negative bias at play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jules Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 Had a listen to it now. Quite an ambient track. Has a simple shimmering synth motif that slowly builds with something that sounds like train carriages passing in the background (but less distinct), then at around the 3 minute mark, a a faint beat comes in and it continues that way but with more static noise overlaying it until 6:51. The rest is silence. It's a pleasant enough track but when you hear it, you realise why it wasn't on DP. It doesn't fit with the vibe of the album. Completists only. not surprising. aside from alaska (from etboy) all of his bonus tracks never did anything for me. thanks for the heads up!

The one thing that has me a lil puzzled about this track is the "(Pink Strobe Version)" after the song's title! Like is there an original version on a follow-up EP or something? I too can see why it wasn't on DP, but overall it's real nice track, and on quality speakers it sounds really good especially because the very quiet kick in the background gets drawn out nicely through the swirling ambience with its bass! The shuffles and glistening textures throughout are especially lovely That very quiet kick gives the track an Aphex 'Tha' vibe from SAW 95-92, if somewhat slower.

Guest Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 saw the end of last nights Berlin show (basically just walked in - nobody cared). Music just doesn't do much for me, but it was well loud and bright. bring sunglasses- no joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lawrenke Posted April 24, 2017 Author Share Posted April 24, 2017 Absolutely wicked show in London - the dancers/AV was better than I expected and the new stuff translated live really well, plus tracks from s/t made more sense in a live scenario on a good system (which was surprising as I saw Ae there a few years ago and the sound was awful!). Brilliant support from Overmono beforehand too and a great 2hr techno set from Benjamin Damage afterwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jules Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 how late after the doors opened did he go on? I want to go to the Brooklyn show but not if he is going on at like 1am! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schlitze Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 Death Peak's ok but it's no Totems Flare.Loved it on first listen but on the second i start seeing the problems. It could have been so much more, Clark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr lopez Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 second half p bad... clark tries too hard to go for "the epic" or something... just doesn't work. the WEE ARE YOUOOUUR ANCESTORSSSS was cringe inducing. but there were a few cuts / moments that I really liked actually, was surprised Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allize Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 okay i'm being unfair, the remixes and weird tracks he released a couple of months ago on soundcloud were cool. I even played them on on set. But anyways, gotta give this one another shot, I only had 3 listens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 I hate going hard on Clark because he's given us some great tunes over the years, but listened to this last night and thought it was absolute bollocks tbh. All smoke and mirrors, non-event melodies covered up with over the top production techniques. Kind of hope he either scales his output down or calls it a day soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
