Release Notes:

Clearlake-Amber-(Advance)-2006-*** is a re-encode.
Clearlake-Amber-.Domino.-Promo-2005-****** is also a re-encode.  Both releases
also have incorrect tracklists with mislabeled tracks and tracks appearing out
of order.  Gotta love P2P.  Enjoy the proper!

Amber certainly sounds like nothing else. Cop an earful of Good Clean Fun and
you hear a seething morass of sound from which emerges a guitar solo so strange
and fragmentary that it resembles a malfunctioning stylophone.

There is a brittle veneer to much of what Clearlake do, but a majesty also,
witness No Kind Of Life whose fizzy guitars and primeval drums work up into
something which fair makes you want to punch the air.

The title track, however, is a strange and formless miasma of misery with
tinkling and shimmering instrumentation, It's a bit of a leap from this into
the vituperative power pop of I Hate It That I Got What I Wanted, but you
cannot accuse Clearlake of lacking variety.
