Clark has always enjoyed being a dicktease with his tracks

In case you weren't paying attention - Iradelphic Workshop live stream happening today. Discuss here.

That track is very proswellian

Still a major release for me. Still way too short though..

I think this release would benefit from having the track order changed.

I might actually do it myself and listen to it that way if I can make it fit better. I've never done that before... I would feel guilty...

Drukqs was the only time I've ever messed with an album's track order. I made a spazz CD and a chill CD. I'm sure I'm not the only one. I can't see myself doing that for something shorter.

It's just that break with Black Stone and Ghosted. Really kills the flow for me.

Absolutely, those to tracks really slow the album down, I removed them on my mp3 player and it makes it much more fun to listen to the album on repeat.

RIP CLARK

2001-2006

I'd take it through Totems Flare, but yeah, if I wanted to listen to Iradelphic, I'd listen to the other 100 albums that sound 95% like it that have been around for years.

 

I liked Clark because of his unique, aggressive sound. When I first heard Com Touch, I hoped it'd be one of the softer tracks on the album. Nope, it's actually the grittiest, most aggressive thing on there, save 30 seconds of The Pining Pt.2 or whatever (by the way, Pt. 3 is the same bullshit soft pointlessness he puts at the end of every other good track, not sure why it needed to be a new track here).

 

If this were a Bibio album, it wouldn't even be a good Bibio album. Might as well give Bibio a subforum now.

 

It's kind of sad, honestly--dude spends 3 years kicking around in the bush or whatever the fuck "finding himself," and that's what he found? It's also sad from a selfish, he-obviously-doesn't-owe-us-anything point of view, because any thoughts of Clark becoming/continuing to be one of the few active IDM innovators are completely gone. He's not the "Warp wunderkind" anymore; he's just a guy making boring pseudo-trendy guitar music.

Agreed.

Well, I love it, even if some of it could pass for a Bonobo album.

Comparing this album with a Bonobo one sounds like an insult to me.

Seriously. If release threads from featured artists are going to be pinned here, it should be one post with a redirect to the release thread in the artist's subforum. Plain and simple.
