Clark - Future Daniel

[raanelom]

This song makes me believe unicorns actually exist.

[PhasmatisApparatus]

Music to do math by.

[TheTalee]

the best one

[portzblitz]

The brief drop into bliss just after 3:27 leads to a hidden place reminiscent of the pretty, muted little realms of old Aphex.

[MightyMartel]

I'm Daniel! hahaha awesome

[kowalityjesus]

I am having a beautiful day.

[Sigma9870]

Song is SO damn beautiful.

[uemfbc]

Proof that The Grid DOES exist.

[MrAnalpfropfen]

Don't do drugs kidz... listen to muzik

[Ausschwitzung]

10 Points Germany :Arr*

[misskellyay]

This track is like woah

[DJHAMEEN88]

I go to dj sets of artists like this and think jeeze the electro community is full of twats yet I come on here and find peace of mind in all your witty and moving remarks. Played guys.

[BearchubsOfficial]

@DJHAMEEN88

i see what you did there

[matman16]

@DJHAMEEN88 I feel the same man.

[StrafingMoose]

this is definitely another version not from the album. Mix sounds different, bridge played twice and the end is not the same as well. Good anyways :P

[k0nfuciu5]

0:00 to 0:45 is AMAZING.

[LsnakeM]

sick!

[holdenmcclure]

I don't understand why people keep calling this song juvenile or like unicorns. It feels like a song of experiences and realizations. It's absolutely beautiful to me and I'm almost insulted to see all these people perceiving it in such a shallow way.

[WutFudge]

@holdenmcclure Calm down dickhead

[MrISAACFACE]

@holdenmcclure Its not that they perceive it in a shallow way, its just that they arnt pretentious enough to take it so seriously, or mellow-dramatic enough to truly tell what it makes them feel.

[NuclearXmas]

@holdenmcclure

I agree

[oODOVETAILOo]

Such a childish quailty to this tune . Intuitive , random , inquisitive feeling .good stuff

[chocolatebob1]

when i get my first Bugatti Veyron, I'm blasting this song while i floor that son'a'bitch down to Mexico

[HarrisonRocks]

This is like i'm being pelted with rainbows

[mclovin779]

just when you think you couldn't climax enough, 2:47 sets in

[aureez]

@boxcarbumbum Artist of one hand typing with big A

[o0DePthStat0o]

my eardrums are being bludgeoned by electic chainsaws

and it feels delicious

[NuclearXmas]

Let's stop using sex metaphors to describe how much we appreciate a song, please?

[culvre]

@NuclearXmas man, this song sure makes my testicles vibrate with pleasure!

[Glutenovsky]

This guy is just awesome! Totems Flare is one of the best IDM album I've heard since Aphex.

[chillskid]

This is his best track people. Accept it. Most of his other stuff is not great.

[broadcastmyass4u]

this song is like sex with bootyhole

[MrKarmapax]

merci chris

[finklemiester]

Man... Clark has a way of throwing down dirty audibles, then treating it with tenderness. He's got it down and this song is a great example of that.

[nightw4tchman]

Très belle ! J'adore !

[realnumber2user]

Confusing song, but awesome

[CustardGanet]

Still havent heard anything as good as this since it came out.

[JaneSaysx]

eargasm @ 3:18

[MrMantoide]

stupenda



[AidanCrowable]

I think my ears are going to have to press charges, this song sexualy assaulted my ears... dont know why i kind of liked it.

[aprilmarieist]

so fucking awesome

[mrtechno2u]

********true beauty ********

[turtl3soup]

Just a beautiful song, everything about it. Hard to describe, and that's usually how it goes when you try to describe a masterpiece.

[bohogrowintro]

so awesome

[TheGorque]

best song from totems flare. no doubt!

[diggizip]

Q_Q Tears come to my eyes!

[bazigaria]

(L)

[StrafingMoose]

Hmmm, there's a part at the end that seems to be played twice.. Different version ?

[NMEZ09]

@StrafingMoose The bridge is played twice, which makes this song ten times better.

[mattler1982]

best track ever !!!!

[DRTYdubstep]

is it even possible to create something happier and more uplifting than this? This music is brain food.

[SpineTunes]

This track is like you climbing out of the side of a mountain staring over a large plane with the sun peaking over the top lighting up the sky brilliantly after a long, treacherous journey through hell. Then all your closest friends that you lost during the journey climb out behind you and share the view while a warming breeze blows across the groves of your face. I remember hearing this when I first listened to the album. The transition between Totem Crackerjack (The final fight in hell) and th

[SpineTunes]

is seemed extremely magical.

[UniQueLyEviL]

Great stuff!!!

[AL3XTR0NiK]

Clark <33333 Ahhh.

[7Effects]

I can't believe I never heard of him before! Love this track.

[AugZF]

killin' it, kwolity!

[32stardust]

nice tune and album

[banczos]

Great song!! But why so short? ...:)

[PrettyColours]

just leaves you begging for more!

[Jizzerfashizzer]

SOUPSTORM

i totally agree with you man!!...... CHRIS CLARK KNOWS HOW TO WRITE MUSIC!!!!!!!!!

like i mean........ the whole album is insaine!!!

my favs are 13, 14 , 15 ...... and this one..... aah man it's tooo fuckin siiiick!!!! outstanding concepts , trully amazing artform!!

[SuperTechnoLaser]

This song is what secured my love for Clark when I first listened to the album.

There are so many emotions flying around on it and most of them are negative, but then this song just comes on and it's like THE HAPPIEST THING EVER

[ProjectSmammi]

I agree, amongst all Clark's extremely depressive tones or otherwise aggressive distortion in this album, this song really stood out as rather uplifting.

[NicosOct]

Le son est absolument magnifique ;) l'enchaînement va bien !

Super son. Ce qui me donne envi d'avoir l'album

[boorinos]

vas y, l'album est terrible, pour moi l'un des meilleurs album electro de 2009

[kraenk12]

tu est fou. nothing more to say.

[boorinos]

non, non...je ne suis pas fou...j'exprime juste un avis...s'il ne te convient pas tant pis pour toi...:-)

[ICanHasNewShaoKahn]

this sounds like sega geneses had sex with fruityloops and this is what u get. horrible.

[flambadsilly]

audiophile nerds always complain about the compression with clark. they never do that with flying lotus tho

[simoncosa]

Well...people complaining about the compression of his stuff simply didn't understand that it's what makes his stuff so special.

[WelfareRobot]

Is it me, or is Clark one of the few relevant remaining IDM artists left? Too bad his music is all loud as hell, no dynamics.

[Soupstorm]

Have you heard Totems Flare outside of Youtube? I have the actual physical album. While his individual istruments might be maxed and compressed to hell, the songs themselves are still full of dynamics. If you open up Future Daniel in Audacity and look at the entire song in waveform, it looks like a wall of sound. But if you zoom in to maybe a 3-second portion, you can see the dynamics clear as day.

And I agree, he is definitely one of the more relevant and meaningful IDM artists.

[bobsinclair1000]

dude if u zoom in no matter how compressed it is there will be waves, audio cant exist without them. If it looks like a block then there are no dynamics. Doesnt mean I dont love the album though

[Soupstorm]

But what I'm saying is, the song *as a whole* isn't compressed, at least not to a degree that destroys dynamics. There's lots of sidechaining, where room is being made in loud sounds for the quiet ones. When you look at the waveform, yeah, a good amount of the waves are peaking at or near 0db, but a lot of the waves are peaking at volumes much lower than that. Clark just uses compression in a misleading way to make his songs very loud and full.

[bobsinclair1000]

open up a song from pre 2000 and see what dynamics look like. You can hear the compression in clarks songs, esp this one and it takes the increase in volume to cause a big impact out of the drops. Not a major problem but this song is far more compressed than most.

[drmn247]

every time i listen to this i hallucinate

[crieswhicharewings]

I want this song to be about Daniel Faraday so bad. I mean one of my favorite electronic acts naming a song after my favorite character in my favorite show?

I'm a fucking dork.

[kAAAzz]

Brilliant !

Every track of this guy is awesome

[RoseInTheRain666]

Listening to this song feels kinda like finding out that unicorns really do exist.

[aw5omeFRAZA]

@RoseInTheRain666 

Heart eating unicorns.....

[seamus1337]

@RoseInTheRain666 Unicrons do exist!! in your DREEEEEEAAAAAAMMMMSSSSSSS ^^

[llavegalan]

[gumgumism]

love it

getting a copy tomorrow

[reveall]

＾＠＾

[therealalimccabe]

i love chris clark - i really do...however i feel that his sounds/noises/production is outdoing his actual song writing.

i think anyway....still, this audio makes me incredibly happy.

[gurumed]

his compositions are simple without the effects and post production, yeah, but i think that's by design and i prefer it to songs that go try to go a hundred different places

[MichaVids]

favorite track of the new album. damn. so good.

[owingtothis]

likewise. Stunning...

[alfsprey]

My album of the year already (because I am incredibly biased).

[miniguzzi]

Great tune!
