Anne Clark - Joined Up Writing (1984) & The Sitting Room (1982)
"Joined Up Writing". An album by a London poet who is a massive Cult artiste in Germany.An artiste who has cut many albums since 1985.An artiste who worked with Virginia Astley,who appears on here as a backup vocalist and a writer. Its her voice behind Anne's words on "Our Darkness",an incredible piece of work with a raunchy sax solo by Josephine Wells and urgent words about a World in chaos. The same World Anne would write of many times as she tackles real issues while Virginia Astley sees the same World as a fairy tale.
So it can be quite uncomfortable hearing these tales of madness and mayhem.
The lady has wonderful voice projection,make no mistake. No way could Virginia Astley have done stuff like this but then she had no wish to do the same as she had no wish to be any sort of rock star
Obviously she prefers to recite her poetry rather than sing it and never regarded herself as a singer.The closest she came was to do a version of "Windmills of your mind".

Anne Clark - Changing Places (1983)
Brilliant, brooding, and bruising, perhaps the definitive Anne Clark album ever...but since she's got so many great ones, this claim is clearly debatable. This is not just music - it's a genuine of work of art...no matter how black her canvass might be.

Anne Clark - Pressure Points (1985)
Produced by John Foxx, who also co wrote some of the material. Anne's pet subjects usually centre around passion,politics and general mayhem but she does it with taste.

Anne Clark - The Best Of Anne Clark (1992)
I do like the music, it's sort of electro-atmospheric and dreary and would make for good songs were they actually sung over...but Anne is a poet, not a vocalist so if you are expecting vocals like I was, you won't get 'em. Truthfully I am not a fan of spoken word albums, but this was easy enough to listen to in fact I did quite like this, but I did keep waiting/hoping for some sort of singing, anything but monotone speaking...didn't happen.
If you are a fan of spoken word artists, give this an extra star for what it is, it's very entertaining and likeable and it's certainly one of the more interesting spoken word albums that I've heard. Most of her songs are sort of dark, and revolve around imperfections and political jargon and she even plays the piano for some of them from what I gather. Apparently most of her albums are out of print, so this is quite the bargain considering it actually has twenty-five tracks on it.
