Empty the Bones of You was Clark's second full length, released on Warp Records in September 2003. As Chris Clark isn't adding anything new to this particular style of music and melody is basically an afterthought, it's up to his arrangements to provide a unique atmosphere. Unfortunately, he doesn't have a mastery of pacing or sequencing, or he simply chose a somewhat bland blueprint for the album's layout. Chris Clark - Empty The Bones Of You. Artist: Clark.

Reviewed in the United States on October 21, 2003. That is the only way I can describe this disc. Chris Clark's 'empty the bones' of you is the first disc I have bought in a long time that I have listened to nonstop. The cover of Chris Clark's last album, 2001's celebrated Clarence Park, depicted a crystalline winterland, populated by a young boy in a knit hood. In contrast, the cover of this year's Empty the Bones of You is a pale figure thrust into a nightmarish spiral of skulls, spears, and oblivion. I'm wagering that Chris has been to a couple of funerals in the last two years. While, contrary to what my first paragraph might suggest, I did actually listen to this album, the distinction is instructive. Clark's last album, while not a bad album by any means, struck many as stand. The Motown Collection. Chris Clark. Motown 7 Singles No. Artistas Varios. 2009 E Album set.

one of the best Clark releases, lock yourself in a dark room and stick this on either on good quality speakers or headphones. The best tracks on this album were indigo optimus which starts off to make you think the whole album is going to be this melodic nice little beat section with a dark touch to it. Holiday as brutality then kicks in to removes those thoughts with a very well accomplished depressing sound with a very choppy beat throughout the song. Wolf then veers back into indigo optimus territory with a similar melody style but also keeping the choppy beats which adds effect. Farewell track sounds extremely basic at first with a reoccurring beat and an increasing ambient noise in the background, then it hits the end with an extremely euphoric feeling ambient piece making all the build up for the song worth it. Gavel (obliterated) is probably the choppiest track on this album with some very noticeable beat sections, its a very dark song (not sure how it came from "the gavel") which merges into probably my favorite Clark song of all time. Gob coitus, this track has an immense and fantastically done build up to a beat section which consists of the choppy beats behind some mashed up and distorted vocals, kind of like dark hip hop, this section them builds up to the outro of the song one of the best pieces of music ever produced, the whole song fits together perfectly. The final track of the album Betty, this is an ambient piece with not much change in tone throughout, this doesn't stop it creating an effect, its probably the most depressing, lonely and desolate piece of music ever written purely because how bleak it is and how well the drone sound is made.
10/10 This and turning dragon are two of the best albums I've ever heard

My reaction is mixed to this album.
While it has very accomplished moments, I became frustrated with many of the pieces as they seemed to be too busy avoiding what was the obvious path for the piece to flow properly. On first listen the outstanding tracks to me were 'Indigo Optimius', 'empty the bones of you', 'Early mass' & 'Slow spines'. I found these to be the most thoroughly satisfying. Here Clark is doing what he does best with his icey, apocalyptic atmospheres letting his new sound flourish which I should point out is very distinctive and different from Clarence Park. All clattering beats and digital flutters with nods to hip hop and classical music. There is also something quite medievel about this album.

The problem I have with this album is the issue of melody. While I enjoy these songs which are very melodic most of the others are more percussion based and don't hit the spot for me.
Chris Clark has said on the WARP site that this is the last melodic work he will ever do. I find this very disheartening.
This declaration seems to have been made with the presumption that melody is a bad thing.
I think this is where electronica itself as a genre has hit a wall and begun to slowly destroy its own appeal. It began with Autechres continuing issue with wether melody has a proven worth within music and now this school of thinking seems to be tripping up another great artist with Chris Clark. I believe even the great Aphex Twin has hit a similar wall with his last album 'Druqks' which features plenty of beautiful melodic piano pieces alongside just as many difficult digital pieces with passable melodies by Aphex standards. I believe he has hit a wall too and the end may be nigh for the whole genre.

Ultimately 'Empty the Bones of you' is exactly where Clark should be creatively but I don't believe fans will be as satisfied by this album as they will let on. To me this is a step down in form and I believe that what has caused it is the issue of melody and wether it has worth in music. I will be curious to see what Clarks next step will be. I wonder if even he will be able to stick to his word and strip his music of melody next time around. I hope to god he doesn't.
Of course I wouldn't say that to my electronica friends. I'd pretend I'm all hardcore and tough.
'I don't need melody. Melody is for wusses.' ( eyes to heaven.)
