| Info: | Combining literature, socially
engaged lyrics with innovative and genre-breaking music, Anne Clark has
covered every kind of style, while at the same time maintaining her own
identity on each and every recording, whether it be the samples (before
sampling became a concept) and electronically treated acoustics of "The
Sitting Room" (1982), to the ground-breaking analogue synth classics of
"Sleeper in Metropolis" (1983) and "Our Darkness" (1984). Clark is
mainly a spoken word artist. Many of her lyrics deal critically with
the imperfections of humanity, everyday life, and politics. Musically,
almost all of Anne Clarke's works can be classified as electronic music
with partly avant-garde classical, folk, rock and dance elements.
Consistently looking for new ways of expression and communication
through the emotion of music and language, Anne seeks to not only
challenge herself but her audience as well. In 1998 Anne Clark performed with her band - Andy Bell (keys), Gabriela Alqueres (guit.) and Midus Guerreiro (bass) - at the WDR (biggest national German Radio & TV-station) Rockpalast in Bonn's Biskuithalle. The impressive concert started with Anne's 1990 single "Abuse", followed by 1991's "Counter Act" from the "Unstill Life" album. Tracks from the albums "The Law is an Anagram of Wealth" (1993) and "To Love and be Loved" (1995) completed the program, including terrific live versions of the Anne Clark hits "Sleeper in Metropolis" and "Our Darkness." Conclusion: A very impressive and evocative performance by Anne and her musicians, now available on CD and DVD. |
