First Track, First Time - Clark - 'Turning Dragons'

This may be a new feature...or I might just do it once.

I'm going to put in a new album, and review the first track, as I hear it for the first time. This might be cool, and it might capture the immediacy and fun of throwing on a brand new album.


Artist: Clark
Album: Turning Dragon
Track: New Year Storm
Venue: Work Computer Speakers (Loud)

Starts off sounding like old Warp acid music...like old LFO played on a wax cylinder in Aphex Twin's basement. Then, as Clark has been prone to do, there's a synth sweep, and the same acid track rips out of the speakers with ridiculous clarity. This shit is monstrous. This is acid-trip-day-three-on-the-dancefloor-in-hell music, and my bet is that most of 'Turning Dragon' represents in the same way.

Can't wait for the headphones.
