One never knows what to expect from Warp electronica purveyor Chris Clark, who seems just as interested in pummeling you with brutal beats one moment as he does floating into an ambient netherworld the next. He does both and then some on "Turning Dragon," which relies less on the time-tested formula of labelmates like Aphex Twin and Squarepusher in favor of a more original bill of fare. The first few songs are like aural Red Bull; "New Year Storm" beams tantalizing bits of melody through crackling electronic drums, while relentless "Volcan Veins" is the kind of futuristic disco Clark nailed on 2006's "Body Riddle." He takes a turn for the ultra-minimal, vaguely industrial on "Gaskarth/Cyrk Dedication," while "Hot May Slides" emotes like a heartbroken robot. The last two tracks cement the split personality: "Beg" is in-your-face club music, while bendy synth leads slowly uncoil on "Penultimate Persian." —Jonathan Cohen
