ALBUM OF THE DAY: Clark - Body Riddle (2006)


On "Body Riddle", Chris Clark secures his place among the forefathers of the IDM genre, undoubtedly recalling Warp's "big three" while successfully maintaining his own identity;  Autechre's urgent glitchiness, Squarepusher's acoustically sampled nu-jazz drum beats, and Richard D. James' enchanted melodies are all present here, yet "Body Riddle" most effectively establishes itself when taken as a whole.  The progression of these tracks enables the "growth" of its narrative in a lucid and profoundly immersive fashion, elevated by the impeccable production and vast scope of Clark's sonic landscape.
