Time Exposure (Stanley Clarke album)

Time Exposure is the thirteenth studio album by American jazz fusion bassist Stanley Clarke, released on August 28, 1984, by Epic Records. The album features musical assistance from Jeff Beck, George Duke, Howard Hewett and Ernie Watts, amongst others.

Critical reception
In a retrospective review for AllMusic, critic Richard S. Ginell wrote that "The sheer speed and power of Clarke's electric and piccolo bass work is astonishing throughout the album, and the CD as a whole has a techno sound and edge reflecting a period of time just before analog synthesizers were swept away by digital instruments."
