ambient/drone/modern classical a little? This is a frustrating record due to its very shifting nature. There are many short tracks here, so there are many different ideas being played with, each rather briefly. It seems like half of the tracks involve darker, harsher-sounding ambient soundscapes--sort of 80's reminiscent, in places. The other tracks are far more melodic and less droning/noise-oriented. While both styles are rather well-done, the drastic tonal shifts from one track to another feel slightly odd. I feel like if Clark had focused more on one style instead of two (or made fewer tracks and worked on fully fleshing out the atmospheres/ideas in each), I think this would've been a much more solid record. Let's say, 3.3/5.
