Warp has diversified of late, but the label still has Chris Clark, who can be relied on to make the kind of abstract, fractured techno it was famous for in the label's heyday. His follow up to 2006's sublime 'Body Riddle' is faster and harder – an almighty clatter of acid tweaks and splintered noise, the experience of listening to which is akin to being in one of those 1980s adverts for Maxell tape, forced back into your chair by the speakers' blast. But if you are prepared to meet the music head on and resolve its complexities, it reveals a wealth of playfulness and subtlety.
