Had a great discussion with Clark about his excellent album Steep Stims, the Access Virus, finding "friendly parasites" in music-making, and the benefits of friction.

Body Riddle is the third studio album by English electronic musician Chris Clark and the first one under the mononym Clark. It was released on 2 October 2006 by Warp.

The music video for the song "Ted" was selected by Pitchfork as one of the top music videos of 2007. "Vengeance Drools" was later used in the 2009 short film Cut, promoting the charitable organisation Women's Aid. "Ted" was used as the theme song to the 2022 Channel 4 comedy series I Hate You.

Ryan Dombal of Pitchfork wrote that Clark "infuses sonic streaks of contemporaries like Four Tet, Prefuse 73, and DJ Shadow into his repertoire, along with his usual Aphex and Boards of Canada tics, and in the process crafts his best album to date". In 2017, Pitchfork ranked Body Riddle at number 17 on its list of "The 50 Best IDM Albums of All Time" - Wikipedia

Empty the Bones Of You is an album by IDM musician Chris Clark. It was released on 8 September 2003 by Warp Records. The cover art was designed by The Designers Republic. - Wikipedia

Empty the Bones of You Review by Tim DiGravina

Empty the Bones of You is a decent but not revolutionary entry in the moody, crunchy realm of IDM favored by Boards of Canada, Autechre, and Aphex Twin, in his more ambient incarnations. Any of the album's 14 sonic noir pieces would fit nicely on a film score, preferably in a gritty crime drama or a spooky zombie fest. Genre fans should know exactly what to expect with just a look at the snappy and somewhat creepy sleeve from Designers Republic: unsettling keyboard drones, thunderously deep slow-moving bass tones, and enough bizarre sound effects to keep listeners on their toes..

Clarence Park is the debut studio album by IDM musician Chris Clark. It was released on 2 April 2001, by Warp Records.

Clarence Park Review by Sam Samuelson

Winter in July can be a strange combination. Released in May of 2001, but seeing hype and sales in June and July, Chris Clark's Clarence Park is a frostingly cold glimpse at what winter feels like -- even if one listens to it during the dog days of relentless sun. Big reverberated beats transform into a crisp sound experiment, synth washes cut and skate alongside and in between breakbeat scientology, and sound sculpture paints imagery of glacier-like masses floating along in the sea minding their own business. Albeit not sounding especially original, and having an immense amount of pressure to do so, Clark turns in a fine debut of sensitive and cerebrally brash material that sits comfortably alongside some of the better records of 2001.
