CLARK - Turning Dragon
Christopher Clark's second LP is riddled with station-scrubbing static, bringing to mind Marc Leclair's micro-sampling as Akufen (especially in what sounds an awful lot like chopshopped INXS on the aptly pointed "Truncation Horn") mixed with Aphex Twin's Analord acid baths, but ultimately has a clubbier take than either, closer to the bent beats of Basement Jaxx while staying bunkered and holding the vocal cameos. Hopefully, fellow Warp artists Autechre's return to form on Quaristice won't completely overshadow the turns taken here.
