Clear Intelect
Metanarrative is the brand new album from Mark Stewart aka Claro Intelecto on Manchester's excellent Modern Love imprint. It is a natural progression on from his last album Neurofibro which appeared on Ai Records back in 2004. Since then Mark has been busy recording material for the Warehouse Sessions series of 12"s of which he is now up to part 4.
The album moves on from the Electro influences of his previous work on Ai to the more Dub inflected Techno which is a product of new influences from label mate and live partner Andy Stott. Indeed the first four tracks can be seen as nods back to his past whereas the last four are directions for the future.

Metanarrative is a very concise piece of work which takes time to seep into your consciousness, but does reveal its depth after several listens.
