Thank you!
agree on every word! Henshall and Haken took musicality to a new level
Agree!
And Nova Collective !!

Holy shit this is insane. Unreal album
Thanks a lot dude!
You are 20 years forward, this Is music from the future!!!
The new frontier of prog.
Dude what how is everything a banger
Honestly, had never heard of this man. Figured, "Hey must not be too bad if its recommended of Haken..." So I decide, let's give it a whirl... I'm 3 songs in, and my jaw is still at the last stop light as i happened to look out the window just as the piano trickles in around 15:40, its just so beauitful. needless to say this is, as each song plays, becoming one of my favorite albums, and this is still the first listen through. absolute brilliance. well done.
Thanks a lot dude! So glad to hear it's hitting the spot.
You know he’s in haken right?
Ben Levin, David Maxim Micic, Simon Grove. Indicates how good the music is!
Fabian Van Der Elst those guys are the best!
@@richardhenshall2185 I'm in love with this album of yours! It sounds completely different from anything I've ever heard!
By the way... The one who disliked this masterpiece just wanted to show off as different.
**This mindblowing!!!!!!**
Homo Sapiens sapiensis in his best form. This is the top of what a brain can give.
This is like getting another new Haken album! Seriously excellent work
Krowsnest thankyou!
First Vector, now this! Sheer unadulterated aural joy! Many thanks from a tiny corner of Canada.
Mike B thanks from a tiny corner of London!
My soul is finally at bliss
wassimagha 🙏
So good. I wasn't as invested in an album since The mars volta.
Ben Levin bought me here. I am very glad he did! Really great work. Sold! Many thanks.
The Narrator thanks! Ben is the best!
This is awesome! I love those psychotic riffs on Pupa/Cocoon and Twisted Shadows.
Someone mentioned Guthrie Govan. I think you have something in common - not only can you shred like crazy, but like in 4:47 you can make highly technical guitar lines sound so, for want of a better word, "tasty".
And calling a guitar "tasty" reminds of Macron trying his best to thank in English the Prime Minister of Australia and his _delightful wife_ and instead saying "your delicious wife".
I was randomly brought here by a playlist and my god am I happy I did. This album is amazing. I really live the creativity, the masterful composing and the very percussive sound. Just a bit sad, that music like this has to sit around unnoticed with 37k views.
I discovered Haken in 2020 with virus
Now I love each album so much
Then, last sunday I discovered this album
I became addicted
I am so happy to be alive in a age when such awesome artist and bands i have never heard up just show up in my recommended feed all the time.
If I had Wolfie Amadeus M. risen from dead fresh in my apartment oblivious to any music from this or previous century, this is the album I would have him listen first. To see him lose his mind out of joy utterly overwhelmed by the richest music ever created, this will never happen, how sad.
¿Have Richard and Ben Levin invented progressive rap? 😮
I-I think so lol. I love it.
We need to make a whole album!
Please DO IT
I think this counts th-cam.com/video/3z19oKBBZMw/w-d-xo.html
@@Beardfish. Well done! As well as your username.
didn't know about this, went right to bandcamp and bought it
How the hell are you able to compose something like this Hen? With all the projects you are into? Let me tell you, this is a remarkable work of art.
AliothSenator massively appreciate it! 🙏
Mushrooms and beer 😁🎸🔥🤘🏻
@@rodrigomillan3861 should I try that?
Holy shit, this is good!!! Totally mindblowing, and in a perfect world this would top all best-seller lists.. Magnificent!!!
Words cannot describe how much I love this album. Thanks for existing, Rich.
JLegends thanks so much for listening!
@@richardhenshall2185 you certainly took musicality to a new level with this albumn
Love your work with Haken, just got recommended this on Spotify. Great work.
Thanks! Good to hear Spotify is working!
I like the whole album but Silken Chains and Afterglow hit me the hardest. I am willing to bet that Silken was a labor of love given how beautifully it flows, seamless and yet sporadic in its conception. A true work of art. I loved it Richard. Thank you.
Kymystery thanks a bunch! Yep Silken took a while to get right.
This is great. The solo records from Charlie and Ross are also terrific. Hopefully these solo records keep everyone happy and keep Haken together, Prog on!
the collaborations?? insane
this whole album even tho i'm not even halfway through?? insane
i'm SO HAPPY Ben Levin is on this in a big way
Leftham Sam Ben is my spirit brother!
that recent US tour lineup was an absolute dream to see!
Please never stop making music . I will buy and listen to everything you make.
Wow the opening track is a STRONG statement! Can't wait to hear the rest.
Such a cool album. The atmosphere is really interesting too, “nocturnal” is how I would put it. I always listen to this at night, and it’s quite fitting :)
This is a "breaking-limits" prog-art... Congratulations Richard.
Greetings from Canary Islands!! (Spain)
Thank you.
Very nuanced, complex sound. Really like the direction this album takes musically. Good luck to you and Haken!
Dude, this proves that over the past decade and to this day you're the most talented composer in the prog metal scene!! Absolutely fascinating album!
This is bloody amazing. I listened to this album in one go yesterday, and I have to say that you somehow manage to sound like what my music sounds like - in my dreams. I want to get to that point of experimentation one day (while still making enjoyable music, like yours definitely is).
And you know... I listen to this fantastic album and I realize: this was written by this down to earth man who saw me in my Haken shirt before your concert in Graz and said "Hi!" to me in a way that made me feel like you really appreciate every single one of your listeners. Well, I've certainly been a Haken fan for a long time, but now that I know your solo project, I'm also a Richard Henshall fan. Please never stop amazing us mortals!
I know what you mean dude! That feeling when listening to music is so magical. I have that also with Thank You Scientist.
And yeah this, The Cocoon, is like... GRAND.
Greetings from Belarus!
Richard thank you so much for your music. After listening same albums for months i finally feel refreshed. Love every song on this record.
Влад Смирнов thanks dude! Glad you’re liking it!
I've been listening to it multiple times on Spotify, I just clicked to put a thunb up.
I stayed.
The ladies should scream after you
This right here is the heart of prog community. Richard Henshall, you're the god! Loving the music and the people of the comments section
Just listened the first time through, already one of my favorite albums ever. What an incredible job you (and everyone involved) did, Richard. You rock!!!🐛🥚🦋🤟🤟🤟🤟
Jake O'Connor thanks so much Jake! That’s great to hear.
Hello from México hensall!, you really really are making an impact in younger proggers /._./ lml
Ahuevo
The sheer amount of great music available today is overwhelming.
Couldn't find this album on Amazon at all. Thankfully Burning Shed had it for £9.99 so just ordered it. Thanks so much Richard Henshall for a fantastic and completely fresh feeling piece of work.
Thanks a lot!
Final solution to all our problems
Jason Rivera 😂
This recording is way ahead of our time. Chapeau.
never heard someone say something is ahead of our current time lmao, as if you know what recording will be like in the future
@@jordankeeler7297 now now, no need to bring logic into this lol.
Holy prog batman.
I return to this album every couple of months since it came out and every time it gets better and better, though I loved it immediately. That unique atmosphere, no one ever got close to rendering that kind of feelings into music. Thank you!
Hey Richard, really impressed as always with your work... I've made sure to share this to all the folk I've gotten into Haken, share the love and whatnot.
Hen cant stop listening to this. You deserve all the praise in the world for this. You truly are a genius.
Rory Aindow thanks so much Rory!
What the #%&@! Amazing!
Darem 👊
Holy smokes! I’m only 2 minutes into it, this is awesome!
More beautiful every time I close my eyes and press play....
I like how on the one hand each song is its own unique world, and on the other there is still something common to them and the album still sounds integral. Really great job, man! You're extraordinarily versatile!
Thanks man! Glad it's hitting the spot for you!
I was thinking that i have heard all in jazz fussion and take this masterpiece .honestly, congratulationd.you are the best guitarrist in all the world.😊
the intro of the album is an absolute masterpiece composed by a genius!
The same applies to the middle part and the end part. :-)
So many good moments I lost count!
Beautiful album! Richard is a talented beast. I get some Cynic vibes, maybe because of vocal effect on some songs, it reminds me of Paul Masvidal...
And the new Cynic album with Matt on drums is also a very beautiful and ahead of his time album. Both masterpieces
this album is amazing!! my mind is totally blown, a true work of genius
Thanks a bunch!
Wow dude. I can't find the words
Oh man, three minutes in and I can't wait to get home from work and really dig into this with headphones on!
Dave Horn hope it was worth the wait!
Woooooh! Ordering physical copy asap. That's some damn good music Richard.
Thanks for ordering Rudy!
This has been basically on repeat since it came out
Why should i want a new Tool Album, if i have this piece of Art? I finally got my CD and im speechless. This is an album, that you have to listen from start to finish, otherwise it doesn't evolves his full potential. You're aiming for my number 1 in my Top 10 Albums of 2019, and its about time that someone else is getting that place ;)
Thanks a bunch Nix! I hope you feel the same way by the end of the year!
Haken >>>>>>>>>> tool. Especially in terms of instrumentals
So you're only allowed one work of art? Can't you enjoy numerous things? How do you explain a mexican combo plate? Everything on there is different and amazing
Tool is pedestrian compared to this
Apples and Oranges
An absolute masterpiece... I found this by accident a few weeks back and I might have listened to it for at least 10 times. Keep up the great work!
Richard you are a genius, an amazing musician. My admiration and respect for you. Thank you very much for your music. Greetings from Mexico.
HAPPY HAPPY DAY! Thank you Mr H. for this release. Magnificent work. Everything I hoped for and more. Congratulations.
Who in their right mind would give this thumbs down?
Honestly this is right up there with Jordans' Wired for Madness. Seriously such an impressive and diverse debut album. Great work here Richard, and those involved!
Mike Smith thanks Mark. love Jordan’s album
Still loving it
Masterpiece, this is so beautiful in every way
Yes!!! Richard , soo many of us have been waiting for this album!! Thanks for being a constant badass influence to us all!! \m/
Lucius V Riddle cheers buddy! Thanks for your patience.
There's a lot of moments on here that really remind me of moments on Protest the Hero's album Tidal. This is good shit, I'm glad Ben Levin brought me here.
Spike Spiegel oh cool I’ll need to give that a listen!
This man is a genius! I can't believe it took me so long to discover this. Hen, you're the one I'm most excited to see this American Haken tour! Can't wait!
Hands down my favorite contemporary composer. The music is an enriching experience. Thank you Richard and team for all the hard work.
Loving this release. Even stuff like the rap beginning of Lunar Room which I didn't like so much initially I kinda love now as part of an epic musical journey from that weird disjointed vibe into something pure nova collective/lush/heavy. Such fresh prog
Hen, this is album of the year material. One of the finest albums I've ever listened to, out of this world. Thank you.
Owly Owlman thanks! Glad you liked it so much.
Aye Hen this is simply brilliant defo album of the year stuff like my little brother said.
I love what sounds to be Gentle Giant influence in the track Lunar Room, such a neat sound! Awesome album
Okay WHAT the fuck was that first song, unreal. I cant describe how i feel rn. That was incredible. NEXT LEVEL
Richard, this is fantastic. I'm so glad you exist man!
Dude... This is legit the first time since Visions I actually love every song in an album.
Also David fucking Micic :o Probably my 2 fav guitarists on the same album. Guthrie Govan on the next one ? :p
Thank you for this really really good album !
Amazing to hear man! And yeah David is the man! Guthrie would be out of this world!
Your taste in Guitarists is identical to my own. Hen, Micic, Govan.
This Album! Love the Disperse vibe the vocals bring. Silken chains makes me want a new Bilo EP by David.... One of the best prog albums of the year!!!!
Roads of Adventure thanks man! Yep a new bilo album would be 👌
This album is so great ! Get focus on my work while listening and bouncing on my chair :)
Hello Richard, your music makes me want to play guitar and make music again. Truly intriguing and inspiring. Thank you!
Well! that is Awesome!
Wow!!! amazing stuff.
One of the best prog-metal works i've ever heard in my life. Totally refresing.
Good god man you're fast on your way to become my favorite musician alive. This is good stuff.
Richard is on the same level as Neal Morse and S. Wilson. Masterpiece again .
This is a masterpiece.
I discovered this album today (I only knew about Haken since last year) so thanks youtube for your algorhytm bringing me here. What a wonderful one of a kind album.
Master piece. Love the collaboration with Ben Levin!
Oh wow
Found Haken thru Nova Collective a few years back, have had pretty much just Haken and BTBAM in my rotation, until I found this recently. I don't know how I didn't hear this sooner, it is a fantastic piece! Its got a really ethereal feel to it, can't stop listening
Very nice
Yep, still a masterpiece after 3 years. Cheers Rich!
Amazing....
It's pretty funny but I was listening to this, having a great time. Had not read the description. Then suddenly Jordan Ruddess solo. Yup that's him alright.
Absolutely insane, you just made my weekend mate
SOMA 👊
