Perusing Qobuz' last day of opera offers...

I do wish they gave Sublime customers discounts on CD quality downloads not just HD.

I am a Chris Clark fan... and this album, ‘Clark’ and ‘Clarence Park’ are my faves at the moment.. kind of Aphex Twin with more emotion and menace....with the occasional euphoria and solace.
