What we say

Rating: happy This record left our Ant feeling happy.

Kicking things off is the latest CLARK 12" 'Ted E.P'on Warp. I suppose this was the most obvious choice for a single from last years 'Body Riddle' long player, being one of the highlights on there. A fine squashed slow melodic techno stomper. Boards Of Canada faves, Mush's Bibio make an appearance on remix duties which essentially has them replaying the track in their own mult-layerd guitar style. Almost more like a cover version than a remix. 'Bruise Animator' is a grainy soundscape with live sounding drums and slightly dischordant melodies'.Mia Farrow' is a brooding piece with percussion low in the mix. 'Springtime Epiphany' has layers of pretty twinkling bells, reminding me of Ovuca's 'Afternoon Girl'. This has the potential to be a really gorgeous track but doesn't quite get there. 'Cremation Drones' does what it says on the tin. The sound of machines mourning. Although again this manages to just fall short of evoking an emotional response from me. One of the better things on warp in recent months though considering some of the crap they put out these days...

What the label says:

An accompaniment to Clark’s recent ‘Body Riddle’ longplayer, the ‘Ted’ EP features one of the album’s standout tracks plus a beautiful remix, re-interpretations and brand new tracks.   The title track ‘Ted’ is complimented by an otherworldly remix by lauded producer Bibio whose fans include Boards of Canada, amongst other music cognoscenti.   The ‘Body Riddle’ reinterpretations offer some pretty psychedelic parallels and the new tracks meld together to complete this richly textured EP.    Alongside the release is a sinisterly engrossing video, akin to watching David Attenborough on hallucinogenics. It was produced by the achingly hip 1st Avenue Productions whose past campaigns include MTV, Adidas and various music projects.    To top it all off, accompanying these treats, Clark will be embarking on another UK tour and has drafted in a drummer to give his already invigorating live show an extra dimension.

About the humble CD:

The CD is essentially a small portable face mirror which has an extra feature of being able to play music (through a thing known as a CD player). These CD's are a modern invention hence them being all shiny and digital. They can hold about 80 minutes of music and apparently are indestructible as you can smear jam on them and they still play (not as nourishing as toast mind you but when you're hungry.....). They sound crystal clear and are tiny convenient things. They lack the charm and warmth of their old analogue counterparts but their portability, convenience and ease of being duplicated make them a perfect thing of a thing for most folks. Jewel cases are the worst thing ever though and they really need to stop.
