Sometimes I'm sad this band isn't more popular, but then I'm glad that only a few get it, and then I feel really lucky. Cloudkicker explores completely original musical motifs. It doesn't borrow from the communal bucket of cliches.
I'm listening to the first track on repeat. I want to absorb it all before stepping into the next track. Absolutely mesmerizing! Ben Sharp is a music genius.
@@Hifcrea I found Cloudkicker in the exact same way, I'm pretty sure it was something from 'The Discovery' album on a Dragon Soul raid video. Can't find it now though.
fan since 2014... anyone else discover the mundane errands of life (ie. groceries, mailbox, doing dishes etc.) morphing into anticipated throes & life adventures of Love/War/Defeat/Fear/Victory/Dread/Hope when accompanied by CloudKicker pouring into your ear-pods... soo good :)
@@mistercath Idk man...Buckets catalog is UNREAL. I am not knocking Ben by any means..I just feel buckethead is an absolute rarity. Yes some of his material is "out there" but songs like Too many humans or Midnight Sun are songs to behold
@@mistercath In my opinion, he is the best guitarist to ever live. And I mean EVER. I mean the man has 350 albums. I highly suggest anyone to dive into his pike series. And that doesn't include his "LPs" such as Electric sea or Population override.
Xaoc is probably the most impressive track I've experienced by Cloudkicker. We haven't seen this side of him for ages. He's definately progressed his music artform. P.s. get it on Spotify.
Maybe I'm the only one, but is it not a little much to tell an artist what to do? "Get it on Spotify" just sounds like a super Karen thing to say, but maybe I'm just reading ya wrong. Would have come across differently with a question mark, I guess?
accidentally found this masterpiece today after taking lsd. B.M. Sharp speaks in tongues without words . like God does. still atheist tho. best album for tripping. it is a musical interpretation of the Mandelbrot set .
Damn!! Really needed some new Cloudkicker in my life and this is turning out to be such a majestic beast. It also complements the end of the summer well. Thank you!
my daughter says "check out this new song "Blackwing""... im like "ok ..... Oooo this is new Cloudkicker!" I then proceeded to school her on Beacons and live with Intronaut (Push it Way Up!!). ...Score one for us old guys! love the new album!!
Worth waiting for this gem,listening to Ben Sharp's Cloudkicker since Discovery album.This man never dissapoints with creating an extraordinary ambient atmosphere.Amazing as expected
monumental stuff ..i really the organic tones used in this record especially the guitars ...Ben Sharp teach us how to djent without gate gate gate eq gate gate gate :)
1st track reminds me so much of an album called Crashes to Light, Minutes to its Fall by Cul de Sac, an amazing proto-post rock/American primitivism instrumental group.
I was very lucky to see Cloudkicker tour with Intronaut a good +5 years ago. I don't know if he will ever want to tour again so I'm glad I got to see him. I can die happy haha.
The Only Way to walk in the clouds is to do the Perfect Works Finished by God before the creation of this world. Believe God has erased all your works because they are sin to Him and provided you His own Perfect Works as a Gift. Believe Jesus is your Perfect Works and when God judges all mankind by their works-you will be saved because Christ is your perfect works while everyone who’s works have sin will be damned.
It's sick, I miss more and more often musically cool things ... Maybe I need pills or a stronger bell ... It was the premiere and I was not here from the beginning - shame on me... oh wait there was not announced ;-) Great stuff wery good 1h of what i love ;-)
By far one of the best albums of 2019. It's pretty much been on repeat on my phone since #WherePostRockDwells uploaded it. Thanks for reminding me of this band. Keep up the great work of uploading solid content to a dope channel.
While I appreciated the approach, I wasn't feeling Woum as much but holy sh** is this a return to form. Gotta give it more spins but this might be all the way up there with Beacons. Thank you for the amazing music!
Aaaaaahhhhhhhhhh!!! Already?!?! Love your stuff!!!!!!!! Brilliant! And I haven't listened to it yet, hahaha) I just know it is))) Edit: man, I just went on and bought your album righ when I heard the guitars and drums. Thank you! Big love from Russia, Sakhalin!
WherePostRockDwells that’s a great get! Always loved His music. Perfect combination of metal and post rock, plus that “I’m on an adventure” feel is awesome.
I want to like this album, but it just seems to be a diluted version of Ben's earlier work. Beacons set a VERY high bar with the tone, then expanded upon by Fade, TD/TMINTT, Portmanteau and Subsume. But, his vision began to shift. Little Histories lacked any of the direction his previous albums flourished under, and Worum just never found its voice. I respect Ben's work and has been a gift to my ears, but these latest albums don't pack the punch of their older brothers.
seems like it is a rip of the vinyl record. that is why there are only two tracks, they are both sides of the album. not sure the significance of including them, but if you download the album off bandcamp it comes with them.
Ben's all for people bootlegging his stuff; he probably put them on there in case people would want to do it. That, plus he's been a bit more transparent in his production process and this is probably part of that as well.

Blackwing.
Just saying.
Same here, bro! So hypnotized!❤
been a fan since the discovery. always puts a smile on my face to see him drop a new album
Man, and that album was so insanely good!
The same bro...the fuckin same!
Always! Nice UA-cam name btw.
The fantastic one man band I discovered through a World of Warcraft video so many years ago 😂 Glad to see you're still banging out amazing music.
R W T lol I’m so curious what song of his was on a Warcraft video. Very interesting way to stumble upon one of the greats
Discovered him through Just Cause 2 ;-)

i guess I'm kinda randomly asking but does anybody know a good place to watch new tv shows online ?
@Houston Brysen I watch on FlixZone. You can find it on google :)
New Cloudkicker! .. Damn, 2019 is such a great year to be alive!!! 😀

:::: CLOUDKICKER has kicked me, now all i can do is headbang to Xaoc (XAOC itself stands for “eXtended All Outlet Combined.). ::::
19:50 It's like being slammed head first into an old school Mogwaiesque wall of sound... and I love it!
37:46 in loop all day since it dropped.
This man is UNTOUCHABLE. When it comes to creativity I put him only behind buckethead.
I love Ben's music.
Always have. Always will.
I think he's way better than buckethead in terms of writing ability.

You just made my week.
dunno what the fuck im listening (i came here by leaving my youtube unattended) but it have good riffs and a general Doom vibe
I just saw this pop up on my home page and got super excited. Incredible album.
this shit should have millions of views
I've always admired how he layers his art. It's deeply hypnotic.
Absolutely, he's a genius on that. He departs from one idea and starts adding layers one each other. Very inspirational.

His music really is something else under the influence, it's like 3 dimensional music, a sound puzzle that totally encapsulates you.

been listening to cloudkicker for 10 years, still putting out bangers and hasn't gone pop. respect
Even if he did it would still be awesome. His shit is catchy and melodic already!
I remember listening to his EP when it first came out because I was looking for similar music to Devin Townsend. Crazy to think how long ago that was.
my daughter says "check out this new song "Blackwing""... im like "ok ..... Oooo this is new Cloudkicker!" I then proceeded to school her on Beacons and live with Intronaut (Push it Way Up!!). ...Score one for us old guys! love the new album!!

Thank you for the new album...it's a masterpiece! 👍

GEMINI THEY KNOWIN
He pulled off another best album of all time.. as expected
Finally! Brilliant album! I like the metronome at the beginning..:D
AR-Lp 36 is such a beautiful song
AR-Lp 36 is a giant super-void out in space, one of the largest we have found so far. Just some fyi.
Absolutely Amazing. Instant Stan
got into Cloudkicker via Intronaut, didnt know ben sharp before... shame on me. better late than never I guess???
Beautiful art, looks like Lumiere by The Afterimage underwent a colorful and modern makeover.
monumental stuff ..i really the organic tones used in this record especially the guitars ...Ben Sharp teach us how to djent without gate gate gate eq gate gate gate :)
Night and Void are my favorites. :{J
Listening to this while working improves my productivity so much.
Stop scrolling and go work
