Clear, the third Bomb the Bass album, hit the shops on 4th & B'way in April 1995, with Tim Simenon, the English producer behind the alias, at the controls himself. The name comes from his DJ habit of piling scratched and looped samples onto a rhythm track until the bass line was buried in collage, graffiti-style, and Clear pushes that instinct into slow, smoky, head-nodding trip hop.
"Bug Powder Dust" led the charge as the first single in September 1994, a woozy, menacing groove, and "Dark Heart", "One to One Religion" and "Sandcastles" followed it out the door. The album climbed to number 22 in the UK, and NME ranked it the 42nd best record of 1995. In 2015, Fact slotted it at number 49 among the best trip hop albums ever made.
