HERE'S SOME DENSITY / ELEMENTS OF NOIZE 4 YA !!!
Movies
easily pleased / funny & stupid / action / sci-fi / out there / i like a message / nothing dull, miserable or over soppy.
Television
soaps / reality tv / repeats ( oops... basic sarchasm... it's all a pile of complete shite !!! )although i do like 'two and a half men' 'scrubs' 'the fast show' 'futurama' 'south park' 'chorlton and the wheelies' 'bugs bunny' 'married with children' 'the mighty boosh' 'documentaries' 'frisky dingo', basically i'm a warped and stupid child trapped in an old mans body.
Books
i've heard of such a thing but i don't like the idea of turning paper pages ( don't like the feel of paper... very unfortunate ). i like knowledge, history, some biographical & non fictional stuff.
Heroes
edith ( my mum ) / wisdom / knowledge / truth / understanding / trees / brave people who challenge evil and oppression throughout the world / my bro and my close friends / helen ( ryan's mum ) / john peel
I USE MYSPACE TO DISCOVER NEW AND OLD MUSIC ON THE WHOLE SO FEEL FREE TO ADD ME IF YOU HAVE SOUNDS THAT MAY INTEREST ME. I'D HATE TO MISS OUT. PEOPLE SHOULD LISTEN TO AS MUCH MUSIC AS THEY CAN... BUT IF ALL YOU WANT TO DO IS WAVE YOUR ARMS ABOUT AND DANCE TO IT THEN WATCH SOME SOAPS OR BIG BROTHER OR SOMETHING AND LEAVE THE MUSIC FOR ME PLEASE !!! MIND THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH WAVING YOUR ARMS ABOUT OR DANCING !!! WHATEVER WE DO... WE'RE ALL JUST KILLING TIME ANYWAY... HA HA !!! AND REMEMBER... NEVER MAKE FUN OF ANYTHING OR ANYONE UNLESS YOU CAN MAKE FUN OF YOURSELF... AND ALSO REMEMBER... IN ORDER TO FIND SOMEONE TO LOVE, YOU'VE GOT TO BE SOMEONE YOU LOVE. THAT'S JUST MY OPINION.
al ( alan clark ) aka :- almassive / elements of noize / density / microburst / alvicinos / cynical owld **** and i'm mostly 42 years old ( woe is me !!! ) with the mental age of "bored teenager" or anywhere between 7 and 77 ( but i am trying !!! ). although i work alone in this world most of the time, i do tinker about musically with my elementz partner 'jus - the oracle' & my other misfit mates 'james - the onaz', 'mala - the indifferent' & 'henderswarn - the rich'. i've been writing and producing music ( mostly but not strictly drum & bass ) since the early 80's and deejaying since i was 14 or 16 or something like that in various clubs/nights like... riverside ( the legendary ), rockshots ( rathaus, determination inc. ), rezerection, turbulence, the drop, on it ( middlebrough ), hippodrome ( manchester ), big bird ( edinburgh ) and all over the world. me and jus ( eon ) have released about 30+ records on a few d&b labels over the past 20 years or so ( mainly... SOUR, emotif, fuze, eastside, no smoking & hardware 'old breakbeat techno styles' ) although i make d&b, i love... yes that's love a vast array of music like classical, folk, ambient, acoustic, rock, indie, house etc etc blah blah and so on. if it's good and stirs some sort of emotion ( whatever it may be ), i like it !!! i especially like strings... wall of sound strings ( oh yeah ). i'm half geordie and half mercurian. i like to be cryptic, open heart & mind, creative, sarchastic, like to listen and be listended to, i like to observe, i like spiritual but not religious. i like funny people with a warped and stupid sense of humour. i like tattoos and plan 2 have many ( if i can take the pain !!! ). i like people who can express themselves. i like freedom of choice and speech. i like people who follow what they are good at and people who encourage others to do what they are good at... as long as it doesn't hurt others ( don't change unless you want to change ). i hate red tape ( common sense is better ). i like to live and breathe outside the accepted social box ( it's a much more interesting place out there ).
I LIKE PEOPLE WHO SHOW EMOTION. I LIKE PASSIONATE PEOPLE. I LIKE PEOPLE WHO CAN SEE BEYOND THE BLACK & WHITE.
FORGET ABOUT MATERIAL BULLSHIT !!! IT DOESN'T MATTER IF YOU HAVE NONE OF THAT CRAP AS LONG AS YOU ARE GOOD, NOT BAD... RIGHT, NOT WRONG. ALTHOUGH YOU AREN'T REALLY ALLOWED TO SURVIVE BY WHAT I'M SAYING HERE... I DON'T THINK YOU SHOULD NEED TO HAVE RELIGION, RULES, SOCIAL BOUNDARIES, MONEY AND SO ON. IF YOU CAN LOOK WITHIN YOURSELF AND BE HAPPY WITH WHAT YOU SEE THEN THAT SHOULD BE ALL THAT'S NEEDED. I MEAN... WHO KNOWS REALLY... BUT I'M GONNA TRY MY HARDEST TO STICK TO WHAT I SAY... JUST FOR ME. WHO THINKS THEY ARE SO IMPORTANT THAT THEY CAN TELL PEOPLE HOW TO LIVE?
ALL SAID AND DONE... I'D LIKE TO TURN INTO A BALL OF LIGHT REALLY... HA HA HA, WHAT AN ARSEHOLE YOU MIGHT SAY... BUT HEY... FUCK YOU, I DON'T GIVE A SHIT !!! I LIKE THE IDEA, AND IT WON'T BE YOUR RUN OF THE MILL BALL OF LIGHT... IT MIGHT JUST BE A VIGILANTE STYLE, LIGHTNING BOLT FIRING BALL OF FUCKING LIGHT... SO WATCH OUT !!!
Who I'd like to meet:
LIKE MINDED SOULS / FRIENDLY, HONEST PEOPLE WITH DEPTH AND KNOWLEDGE / SOCIAL MISFITS / THE REAL ME !!! / ANYONE WHO FEELS THEY ARE IN THE WRONG PLACE AND SHOULD BE SOMEWHERE ELSE / ANYONE THAT'LL HAVE ME... HA HA !!!
I ALWAYS LIKE TO MEET KIND AND FRIENDLY PEOPLE... IN THIS WORLD OF THE PROGRESSIVELY BITTER, SHALLOW AND TWISTED, I THINK IT'S EASY TO BE A BAD PERSON... I THINK STRENGTH LIES IN BEING A GOOD PERSON. KEEP YOUR EYES OPEN AND REFUSE TO TURN INTO THE THINGS THAT YOU HATE.
keep away if you are shallow and like telling lies !!! deception is not a good trait !!!

Just a quick note to say that "through the trees" has been added to the subLAD MySpace player - it's the first track on my forthcoming album, entitled "where the land meets the sky".
We have also put up a preview of the whole album on the n5MD website:
our debut album "all the monsters are small and soft and scared" is out now! it's available at your favorite record store. you can also listen, download or order it at www. labelship. de.

"Just as unhurried as it is precious and reflective. The atmosphere is serene; you’ll pick
every word that is uttered and find a world that normally goes at a million miles an hour
slow to a relaxing canter. "
So I’ve just uploaded a new tune - it’s called ‘Long Days, Late Nights’ and you can hear it on my page right now!
Having never written and recorded an entire EP all on my own before I was perhaps a little optimistic in thinking it’d be ready for the end of August; it is nearly done, just not quite yet!
The new tune is going to be the last song on the EP - I think it has that kinda melancholy vibe, but I'd love to know your thoughts..
