Clark - Totems Flare

That album and the two which followed - which Chris sees as forming a "trilogy" - have seen a steady and clear progression, from the baroque melodics of Body Riddle through the hard techno drive of Turning Dragon to Totems Flare, which combines the key qualities of both into yet another huge leap forward. The increase in ambition, scale and panache of Totems Flare is as big as that which Body Riddle represented, and early reactions suggest the worldwide commercial response could be at least as significant. And, vitally, this further leap forward came naturally.

"The only hard thing with this album," says Chris, "was selecting the tracks: I've got so many that it was a constant process of editing and chiselling down the structure until it was completely watertight. I've got enough tracks for the next three years if I wanted to rest now, but I've already gone off on new ideas which are so, so different: the next album is half-done, and that's going to be a complete departure from this 'trilogy'."
