Illustrator: Matt Burden. Chris Clark released his third album in a trilogy of likeminded full-lengths for Warp Records in 2009. Progressing from the baroque-electro of 2006's BODY RIDDLE, and the full-bodied techno blasts of 2008's TURNING DRAGON, TOTEMS FLARE combines both of those prior styles and adds IDM, drum'n'bass, ambient techno, and electroclash to the mix. Because it's not as insanely cut as your typical IDM, it works as subtle, non-distracting background music, but it's still detailed enough to make for some enthralling headphone candy as well.
