IMPORTANT (Please read to avoid confusion):
Some items below may be tagged with a bold, red, all-caps "out of print/unavailable" notice. This does NOT mean that all other items not so tagged are, in fact, in stock -- or for that matter, in print and available, though there's a good chance they are. Some folks get confused on this point, and we can see why, so please read this for further clarification and other important before-you-order information. Unlike some mailorder websites, we don't have an electronic inventory system linked to our site, so you can't be sure of what we actually have or don't have in stock at any given moment without asking us -- please email our mailorder department for availability status -- or better yet, just go ahead and place your order using our shopping cart function and we'll get back to you with the status of each item. If you have general non-mailorder questions, email the store.


album cover CLARK, CHRIS Clarence Park (Warp) cd 14.98
New on Warp, and fuck if this isn't the only glimmer of hope in the overcrowded and under-inspired world of electronica. The glitches and pops and Pole fallout are kept to a minimum here and instead, Clark uses actual sounds, unrecognizable as they may be, and makes beautiful, funky, funny, catchy and almost organic sounding electronica. Think Matmos with a less 'intellectual' bent, think Lesser with a less 'I-wanna-destroy-you' bent. Think Aphex Twin with a distinctly new coat of paint. This record, from the second I put it on, was so new and fresh sounding. Sure the new Autechre is 'different', but be honest, no huge leap was made. And I'm sure the new Boards of Canada will be great, but it probably won't be a big surprise either. 'Clarence Park' is easily the freshest sounding electronic record of the last year. Huge old school breakbeats are chopped up and scattered throughout a mine field of subsonic synth rumbles and bleeping Aphex Twin-like melodies, with occasional minor key melancholy flourishes. Crazy cut-ups and masteful editing collide with creative drum programming and skittery soundscapes. Playful, but not fey, pounding and relentless, but not mindlessly 'hardcore'. Really really great.
