forbenator Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 I've never listened to Cloudkicker thoroughly before. Caught a few tracks here and there Is this a good start? What release would you rank up there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrewest Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 Wow I consider this his most perfect album to date. I hear elements of everything he's ever done but it all still sounds new and fresh. It definitely took a couple listens to really grasp how good it is though. I love the whole flow of the album, with "weather front" being like a 5 part movie. forbenator, I'd for sure start here. I think it's a quintessential Cloudkicker album. Perfectly sums up all his prior work. Find what elements of this you like best & then you can probably pick & choose previous albums based on that.

What release would you rank up there? Beacons was the first album I listened to and it hooked me. Not quite sure if it's the best launching point, but it worked for me.

RESCHAR Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 Also grabbed the 100 limited one! Was pretty pricey with shipping to the UK though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drds89 Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Mine arrived last night - in on of those protective mailers and most interesting wafflecarboard wrap for protection. Been thinking about it all day.. Ben knows how to pack and ship - it was worth the extra $ for the speed and arrived without blemish. Can't wait to spin it!

mrewest Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Got mine last week. Very gorgeous vinyl. I don't have anything else that's this color scheme, & I was excited to see that the shirt I ordered matched it. And as all Cloudkicker vinyl, the sound is fantastic.

RESCHAR Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Got my blue/white variant today in the UK! So fucking happy with it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markok Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 I know that people have already said that this sound great, but please someone still comment on the sound quality again - the inner groove parts have many loud sections which Im sure are very hard to track for any cartridge without extra distortion (unless the record is mastered perfectly). I have a very sensitive setup, so inner groove distortion is very audible and annoying. I wouldnt be asking, but shipping for this outside US is a lot, so just to be sure. Thanks. edit: same question for the Beacons record. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David The Gnome Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 I don't have any problems with the sound of this record near the inner grooves or any of the grooves for that matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fortysix_and_2 Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 I picked this up at the Cloudkicker/Tesseract show in Denver this week so there are a few copies out there to still be had. You able to get to one of the remaining shows this week? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrewest Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 He posted on his blog that he's outta stock on stuff right now but will restock after the tour. Hope that includes vinyl. Saw CK tonight & he still had Beacons vinyl but that was it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
