Ben Jordan. You're inspirational, amazing, and I treasure your music most greatly. Though Hardscrabble is not the most influential album on me, it still is gorgeous and impressive on my life and thoughts.
This was absolutely incredible, your music never ceases to amaze me. You're definitely my favorite composer, check out my material if you get the chance.
He just went on a little tour across the U.S. with Bartel. I was fortunate enough to coincidentally be in two right places at the right times and was able to see him twice. Amazing both times! Hopefully he will travel more in the future!
Dope video! Everything looked really stylish and well crafted, but those final few ocean TL's were jaw dropping. Keep making your own videos, (if you want to, lol). Did you have a motorized slider for some of the interior TL's, or did you try something more practical/diy on those?
I don't think any album after it has been even close to as diverse as Selections, and while this sounds great, it's not really fair to compare the two.
I've been feeling the same way for like 7 years now....the other artist that makes me feel the same is Mozart....(yes, I just compared Benn to Mozart, YES)
Where did you film this video? The scenery in your music videos is always incredible, and really reflects the mood of the songs. Kara Czaplicki also did a beautiful job!
How do you not be a true Flashbulb fan? Does that mean listening to the songs that are slower, more calm relaxed songs? And not the glitch-IDM side? He doesn't really have any hit singles, aside from the stuff that's in dance games like Flash Flash Revolution and Thirdstyle
I can see where you're coming from. To me he brought some of his Acidwolf side into Hardscrabble and it was a bit of a jarring effect considering the style of Opus at the end of Everything. Still after a few listens, there's some amazing tracks on there. Also I would say there has been a constant high since KS. OatEoE had some astonishing tracks on it - Arrival to an Empty Room I think is one of his best.
Definitely Virtous Cassette, Let me walk you to your Honda, Love as a Dark Hallway, Passage D, Creep, Autumn Insomnia, Parkways, Highways II, Miles and Miles, Undiscovered Colors, Dragging Afloat, We the Dispelled, A Million Dotted Lines, Tomorrow Untrodden, What I Imagine you to be Like, and Autumn Leaves in a Bath Tub. Those are only a few, but still just gems of tracks. The man is truely talented.
He has so many fucking genres... And I just happen to like them all. Jazz, IDM, electronic, instrumental, breakcore, glitch, ambient, modern classical, and it really can go on and on into different sub-genres.
Listening to all his albums equally. Giving all his songs a chance. That is how you become a true fan. And I didn't say that to cause problems, he is just not that popular and it was pure curiosity.
WOW. I was reluctant to watch at first, looked creepy and it was at parts. But that's all a part of the track, the video, the feel. it's a journey. the song, and the video. incredible.
Amazing music and video, Benn! I knew you weren't just a gear head after watching alot of content on the Benn Jordan channel but this is really good stuff. I love good photo as well as good music so this is a great video!
i didn't really like hardscrabble, sadly. i've listened to every single release, and i just don't enjoy the artistic direction. for me, the times of Kirlian Selections was a high, if not THE highest point.
Ghostnova100 Agreed! There is something almost magical about this tune and the vocal is a massive part of it. Fell in love with it listening to it on my new Cowon. Wish it were longer ... :) Peace

I like all of Bens Stuff.....
This Video is Perfect.
Thank you The Flashbulb!
Ben Jordan. You're inspirational, amazing, and I treasure your music most greatly. Though Hardscrabble is not the most influential album on me, it still is gorgeous and impressive on my life and thoughts.
This is definitely a new approach. Still the same old Benn greatness going on underneath, but new sounds on top. Love the ending to this.
This was absolutely incredible, your music never ceases to amaze me.
You're definitely my favorite composer, check out my material if you get the chance.

Dear Ben!
I absolutely Love Your Music! Thank You very much! Respect! One of a kind
I don't think any album after it has been even close to as diverse as Selections, and while this sounds great, it's not really fair to compare the two.
I've been feeling the same way for like 7 years now....the other artist that makes me feel the same is Mozart....(yes, I just compared Benn to Mozart, YES)
Why would you not want Benn to reach as many people as he can with his music?
it is Benn's record label that he owns, but the word originally comes from an old programming language called Alpha Basic.
Somehow reminded me of Burial. Quite a new sound, video too. (Human characters?)
Will be looking forward to the new album.
Good song picks. Even though I find passage D boring sometimes. (even though his other piano drum tracks are amazing)
Very UK sounding for him, although that's redundant because he's the closest thing to Tom Jenkinson I can think of :)
How do you get such a strange eerie effect? Is it acted out backwards and then played in reverse? I really like it.
wow. wow. wow. wow. wow. wow. wow. wow. wow. wow. im fucking speechless i can't say anything but wow.
Genial! me encanta The flashbulb!
no way xD...
hey do you know what is alphabasic?
i only know it is the publisher of Ben's music
he is making videos now? anyone know how he is doing? too hard to find any info on him q.q
I like flashbulb. but as of recently, i think he has out done himself in a bad way.
Where did you film this video? The scenery in your music videos is always incredible, and really reflects the mood of the songs. Kara Czaplicki also did a beautiful job!
We shall see. It was just an assumption until now. Or until the 23th :)
angeldvst how do you have access to so many rare videos who are you? XD
Alphabasic is Benn's own label, if I recall correctly.
This is fucking fantastic. I will pay for this album.
bit too trancy for my taste but the visuals were cool
Anyone else notice how it was listed as a 3d video?
Someone's getting good at recording cinematically.
Excellent! Reminds me just slightly of Trifonic.
Amazing song!
someones been listening to machinedrum
hi everyone!!
Someone knows about how to make the video effect from 0:50 to 2:00 .?? thanks
***** ok thank you!! so the person had to move very very very slowly and then, they accelerate up the sequence until 200/300% normal speed...right?
anthony ortega the footage isn't sped up, rather, the camera takes a shot at a slower interval. The person is indeed moving very very slowly
so fucking beautiful .. in love
never cease to amaze me Benn....
Creative and i can feel the song
Okay not the song I was looking for
awesome song, awesome video
trancey vibes
YES! NEW SONG! :D
Looking forward to it.
ooo wow i loved it !!!!!
quality glitchcore
hard
How do you not be a true Flashbulb fan? Does that mean listening to the songs that are slower, more calm relaxed songs? And not the glitch-IDM side? He doesn't really have any hit singles, aside from the stuff that's in dance games like Flash Flash Revolution and Thirdstyle
Flashgasmic
The Dakotas?
good work
bye
nice

Very Burial. I like.

it's a journey. the song, and the video. incredible.
If this album keeps being like this and The Bridgeport Run, then it will challenge your best work yet, Kirlian Selections
Muito incrível, bastante tétrico (como cenas em um filme de terror), ainda assim, bastante interessante este vídeo. Muito bom 'The Flashbulb'.
Beautiful places, strange type of recording (but I like it) and beautiful music (as usual ^^ )
Amazing music and video, Benn! I knew you weren't just a gear head after watching alot of content on the Benn Jordan channel but this is really good stuff. I love good photo as well as good music so this is a great video!
So, quick question: Where'd the water come from? I feel like there was a part of the story arc that I missed or something.
All of Kirlian Selections, Opus at the End of Everything, and Reunion.
Ever since I started listening to the flashbulb, i find it hard to listen to anything else
hey guys tell me ur fav flashbulb song(s) :p
i loved all the ones i came across o.o :)
Man I love your piano sound, truly fascinating work.
I feel honored to be part of the first 300th people to view this amazing song.
Flashbulb forever! One of the truly great composers w3rking today,
2 albums this year!? FUCK YES! I LOVE YOU BENN!
He wont stop amazing us with this beatiful music full of magic and emotions.
DUDE 5. and its been the best thing ever since! This man is a god!
Yepyepyep. I love both projects.
you never cease to amaze me benn
i hope so :)
Thanks for triggering my trypophobia
Yay, new album!
good song, deserves more attention
Read as "Please let this man's talent forever be un-recognized."
What are you on about?
genius like him used to be un-recognized .. humans sucks
very nice music and great video editing. i like. :)
Hard to wait for the release...
Not bad at all Benn!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA YES!!!!!!!!!
This is going to be an amazing album
Amazing as usual
so perfect.
Super!!!
i didn't really like hardscrabble, sadly. i've listened to every single release, and i just don't enjoy the artistic direction. for me, the times of Kirlian Selections was a high, if not THE highest point.
I'm a million years late but I gotta say that no album will ever touch Kirlian Selections but I'll disagree on Hardscrabble.
I would say that both albums were great, but Kirlian Selections are on another level.
Listening for a longer period =/= better fan.
As much as you'd like it to, it gives you no superiority over anybody else here.
I just wonder how many TRUE Flashbulb fans are here. I've been a fan for over 10 years.
Repeating vocal sounds? this is ridiculous!
y u no drop!?!
21k views?
Flashbulb is becoming mainstream?
Please let this musical gem stay hidden forever.
Track is wonderful.
But I've gotta be honest with you Benn; the music video is terrible.
Without the singing and voice samples this would be beautiful
What are you talking about? this is pure art
Ghostnova100 Agreed! There is something almost magical about this tune and the vocal is a massive part of it. Fell in love with it listening to it on my new Cowon. Wish it were longer ... :) Peace
Nah i agree. The vocals really should be removed.
And you are who?
what are you talking about ... the voice fits perfect
pretty much like burial , i hate it
what are you taliking about? .. this is 100 times better than burial shit.. so shut the fuck up , you opinion doesnt count here
