Product Description

Amazon.ca

Attention, ce disque est un niveau en dessous du Courtesy Of Choice de Leila ; ce qui peut vous faire dire que tout n'est pas perdu (ceux qui pensent le contraire peuvent tout de même devenir barmen dans une discothèque belge). On voudrait faire passer notre ami Chris Clark pour le parfait petit junky compositeur en chambre, en tout cas la bio s'y efforce. Sa musique est cependant un brin moins rock'n'roll. Concrètement, cette dernière alterne rugissements synthétiques, ambiances fin du monde, et mélodies bleepées qu'on croirait sorties d'un orgue de cathédrale gothique ("Proper Loft" ou "The Chase"). "Lord Of The Dance" servira d'entracte avec son synthé jazzy-dub et sa flûte posée sur des rythmiques hip-hop, c'est d'ailleurs l'un des "morceaux" les plus plaisants. Car, seul hic, Chris est assez jusqu'au-boutiste dans sa démarche d'adolescent bourré à la bière puisque les morceaux ne font généralement pas plus de 3 minutes, ce qui réduit la durée totale de ce disque à 31 minutes seulement (rédhibitoire au moment du choix inévitable entre plusieurs disques). À moins que vous ne soyez collectionneurs et là, la pochette fera pencher la balance. --Alexandre Louiset

4.0 out of 5 stars packs a punch Oct 13 2003
By bowery boy
Format:Audio CD
In 30 short minutes, Chris Clark kicks and screams his way into the ranks of IDM heavywieghts like autechre, squarepusher and aphex twin. The only fault I could find with Clarence Park is it's length. It's so short and so good, you find yourself drooling like Pavlov's dog for more. That's not a bad thing. Chris Clark densely packs more scattered beats, staccato percussion, eerie piano melodies and weird sounds in those 30 minutes than aphex twin, autechre or squarepusher can do in a full length disc. Not to discount those IDM greats or to say Chris Clark is better, there is isn't anything new here that hasn't been done better by the above artists. However it's simply amazing what he can achieve with a minute long track. The mood and atmosphere he can create within that space is the mark of a true electronic genius. 'lord of the dance' is a really good song but the simple and short 'chase' is my favorite off this release. you should definitely consider buying this if you're into any of the above IDM artists or if you're looking for something a little bit crunchy, a little bit scary, not too experimental yet purely perfect.

listen with headphones. listen very loud.

3.0 out of 5 stars There's better... Nov 10 2002
By D. Lynch
Format:Audio CD
Alright, as far as IDM goes, this CD may not be top-notch, but it's up there. Clark is quite good at taking seemingly random noise and hiding a rythm underneath it. Thing is, this CD is so short (only 31 minutes). I want more! Most tracks are only a minute or so long, and that's simply not enough for me. But, at Amazon.com's price, this CD is worth a buy. Heck, the track titled "Lord of the Dance" is worth the price by itself.

By Thaddeus
Format:Audio CD
i'm giving this album 5 stars just to offset the first reviewer's completely unhelpful review and completely arbitrary 3 stars, which it doesn't deserve. i don't think he even listened to this record. chris clark is really good, in fact i was totally surprised because i was expecting a lame aphex/autechre copycat, but actually he's a really awesome u-ziq/mouse on mars copycat.

5.0 out of 5 stars Essential
'Go Plastic' is, in my opinion, one of the best albums of all time. If you've heard 'My Red Hot Car', and want the rest of the album to sound like it, i suggest you buy an N*Sync... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars my new favorite Squarepusher album
Lately, Squarepusher has been outdoing himself with every release (with the exception of Do You Know Squarepusher? - a hit-and-miss EP). This is my new favorite album of his. Read more

Tom Jenkinson (squarepusher) has really made a work of art here. The first track 'driving in my redhot car' is truely amazing. I would recomend this album to anyone.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best!
I have most of the Squarepusher Records. On Go Plastic for me, he plays hard and with more precision than on any of his other Drum & Bass jazzy record. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Postively Maddening(Yes, that's a good thing).
Tom Jenkinson's music is so amazingly uneven that everytime I think I about buying one of his albums I really have to think about what I'm getting into. Read more

This is probably my favourite Squarepusher album, the reason being for the two tracks which I cannot live without. Read more

Of all the praise I've heard of Squarepusher, when I first put the cd in the player, I expected to hear a remarkable cd. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars ...please
all i can say is that anyone who thinks this album is "haphazardly thrown together" has NOT tried to program those beats.

consider this album a slap by tom jenkinson's...

I have been following Tom J for about three years now (since Music is the Rotted One). I have back tracked and have them all. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars blark!
I like to listen to it while I program. Somehow the 300 layers of rapid blips, beats and voices focus my brain like a finely ground lens.
