CLARK:: Totems Flare album released July 13th

CutEar.jpg

Just as the dust cloud from 2008's massive 'Turning Dragon' album has begun to clear, Clark rolls out a steaming juggernaut of a record. Preceded by the stunning Growls Garden EP, The Totems Flare full length is arguably Clark's finest work till date.

Clash Magazine Review of Growl's Garden EP
---
WARNING! If you ignore these next 77 words then your life will never be
the same. Clark has forged his best record EVER. This is a massive bin
busting distorted stomper which sounds like Tricky teaming up his
darkest thrash with Modeselektor’s alchemy of sub bass. And that’s just
the first track! Mangled yet razor sharp production and a huge slab of
disregard for convention, song structure or even volume make this
essentially refreshing. This is the sound of Clark having fun. And it’s
the best dance music we’ve heard in 2009. Simple.

Florian Hecker's experiments into computer music have seen him workng with software engineers and scientists to develop productions that utilize psycho-acoustics that disorientate the listeners sense of spacial perception. In his 13 years of sonic exploration he has created sound pieces for Angela Bulloch, Carsten Höller, Peter Rehburg and Yasunao Tone. Releasing his music primarily on the Mego imprint, Hecker has also spread to Rephlex with his 1996 release 'Recordings For Rephlex'. These performance are not to be missed as the two sonic maestros go head to head.
