DUBSTEP 🤍💙❤️🧡 FOREVER
I love KOAN Sound 💚
KOAN sound has touched the monolith for sure.
what a great movie :)
@@CardboardCityOfficial Its fifty years.... May 1968. One of my favourite soundtracks.
This is some of the smoothest, most perfectly designed music ever made, by anyone, ever. I always feel like I'm listening to the actual future when koan sound's playing
totally agreed -i tink dey come fwom da futah!
You're wrong you abbsolutew FANNNYYYYYY
@@faceglue7319 You're cool though
3 years was worth the wait. Sooooo good!
sometimes its better to wait 3 years to release your next bit of music ;)
I've been listening to this album endlessly. I'm a producer myself, by which I want to express how much I appreciate the production (and musical) quality of your songs. Highest grade kind of stuff. Epic album, deserves way more attention!
we'll get there one day bro
DUBSTEP 🤍💙❤️🧡 FOREVER
Too good for the music industry...
Kian Hendrick, Not really. This music is too good compared to the music that the vast majority of people enjoy. Rap music that goes in the one ear, and out the other. Music that is cheaply syncopated with stuttering high-hats. Koan sound puts time, effort and passion into the music they make, and not for granted. Even though the music industry is full of people that listen to bad rap-music, there are people like you, me and practically every single Koan sound fan that take their time while listening to their works, treat their music with respect, and don’t treat it as background noise. I’m glad to see that many people still can appreciate good music, and even dare to say that Koans works are too good for the music industry ;)
Not Dave I’m a huge KOAN Sound/Culprate/Asa/Sorrow fan but I also love Hip-Hop/R&B just as much. There are rap and r&b artists out there who appreciate the production quality of their music just as much as you and me. Most notably JID, 6LACK, Mick Jenkins, Anna Rose, Anders. I could go on for hours. But my point is that it’s unfair for you to label an entire genre of music as trash if you’ve not even looked for gems within the genre.
Peak Koan Sound fanboy commenting achieved
Music industry prefers rap/pop songs talking about money, bitches, drugs ect. They have no idea what REAL QUALITY music is and they never will. Thats why so many real worthy artists are underrated or unknown.
@@CircumcisedUnicorn i bet he means the mainstream rap shit with trap beats thats are all the same, using the same samples, synth hit hats, the music everyone can make reardless of talent.
Sounds like the future... Very Innovative
This is the first time I've listened to KOAN sound, and it's just.... wow!
Koan sound will always be my favorite modern music group. There were points in this album where I uncontrollably grinned from ear to ear, parts where I cried, and parts where I literally had to pause because it felt like my soul was being violated by the beauty and energy of it all.
I have never heard such a wonderful fusion of sounds. I’ve never heard something so hauntingly beautiful, jazzy, creative and masterful. The attention to detail, the absolute brilliance of this could never be put into words.
Album of the century I think. I waited so long for this and I had very high expectations and you guys have exceeded every single one of them.
KOAN sound is so far ahead of their time, like all truly brilliant artists. In every sense they are out of this world, beyond anything I could ever even begin to comprehend. I wonder if someday people will look back on this like a Van Gogh and wonder what kind of crazy pills we were taking that this wasn’t the most popular music of this decade.
I feel 100% identified with what you fine bread sandwich have to say about this masterpiece.
agreed - koan sound are genius legends
Listen to Au5 (but yes Koan Sound is phenomenal)
We were jugging regueton sadly. And most sadly because i live where it was born.
Well said my friend. You perfectly articulated everything I have to say about this modern masterpiece.
that Viridian Dream transition is one of my favorite musical experience haha
Then you probably would like transition in their remix on *Reso - Axion*
czcams.com/video/5BsntE_Q5UA/video.html
I'm speechless. This album is unbelievable. Surreal. Divine. Life-changing.
Other than by using broad adjectives like these, nothing about this album can be described without doing a disservice to its infinitely expressive nature. Every single fucking detail means so much in so many different ways. Easily my favorite album of all time.
Thanks.
Unbelievable Sound Design! I wish there was at least one Vocal track in the style of ''This Time Around'' though.
Oh thank you so much for reminding me of that track!
the production level is soooooo high unbelievable work how are you guys still underground
Oh my God!!!!!!! I love Koan since my childhood, and I've just simply stopped listening to it for like 1 or 2 years now. Suddenly, a thought came to my mind: "did they release something new meanwhile? Let's check!" And BAM! Today!!! I'm loving it! ♥
that's awesome haha
In time for Christmas. Peace and Goodwill.
DUBSTEP 🤍💙❤️🧡 FOREVER
Listening to this album is my new full time job
Can you hire me?
Album of the year?
Absolutely stellar job. Wasn't planning on listening all the way through since I have stuff to do, but I'll be having to make alterations to my schedule since I'm too blown away to put this down.
Album of the century!💯
@@Vasy2310 not a joke like literally not even kidding this is probably true, it's absolutely incredible
@@AlexSeibel yeah! I'm not sure if I will hear something better in my life!
Um, sorry honey but 6ix9ine dropped an album this year too
@@TheSkatingreptile nice joke 😂
The Zulla is so fricking good holy shit.
It almost sounds like a Tipper track
I think this will be the first album on CZcams with no negative comments forever.
theres already been a few.
the album is garbage.
said and will say NOONE EVER.
Honestly, did anyone ever hear an dense electronic album with a better mix than that?
@@PianoScoreVids Culprate - Deliverance
Here's one. Poor mans Iglooghost + Glitch Mob. This is borrrring
metric modulation in Viridian Dream is fucking lush. I wish all electronic music was this diverse.
Please for the love of god listen to this album on good headphones.
Apparently Christmas arrived earlier this year.
Your faster beats are the auditory realization of what it would feel like to play an extremely difficult, fast, old video game, and not make a single mistake in a run. Speed. Precision.
Chili Daddy especially. Shit fucking tickles my adrenal gland
@@doogelyjim8627 This album is a pure bliss for any osu! map maker
I'm gonna see what Audiosurf makes of it :) Set some high scores
cringe
quinxx12, i agree. This is not really the most suitable place to discuss videogames.
Koan Sound have invented a new genre here...( JUNKHOP ) jazz, funk and hip hop fusion, 5 stars guys genius's !!
And Glitch Hop
Someone define them Neurohop because they also have big neurofunk influences (and it's not so much jazz imho). Anyway it's a very personal style, it only reminds me about Culprate but more funkier.
They have invented their own genre, their own sound. KOAN Sound!
@@KLowlife indeed it is!!
theres also a lot of dnb
i am having an out of body experience
Medicine for the modern world
DUBSTEP 🤍💙❤️🧡 FOREVER
KOAN Sound, you guys have been my all time favorite for years. You have some of the most creative music I've ever heard. I fucking strive to be like you one day. These have been some of the hardest past couple years, having lost someone incredibly close to me, and being on the verge to lose another, and all this other shit... Thank you for this album. It almost has me in tears right now, and I think that's just what I needed. Thank you guys, for all the incredible music. I don't care if it takes 3 years, 5 years, or 10 years, just please don't ever go away. God it's good to hear from you guys.
+1
This is so good, everything anyone could wish from a KOAN Sound album and more. Every song was on point.
Wow, you just uploaded the full album on youtube? Thats truly sharing😮 phenomenal work!!
I have this beautiful light that changes colour in my room, just laying back on my bed watching the gradually changing colours and listening to this is like sensory heaven...
I wish my friend Felix was still here to listen to this. He was one of the few people I seriously shared my music taste with. I kind of turned him onto this sound and I am sure he would have enjoyed this album about as much as I do right now.
Sadly he committed suicide about a year ago.
I'm really sorry for your loss man. But can i still ask the reason why he did it?
@@sunnytex1337 Depression I guess; probably intertwined with some serious social anxiety. I actually don't know for certain but I'm relatively sure that's what it was. We kind of lost contact about a year before it happened and only his close family probably know the full story.
@@vantahawk2834 ah okay. Thanks for answering!
Lmao
Felix was an imaginary friend. You just need to believe in him again and he will come back
All this did is make me want even more KOAN Sound. You guys have no limit to the talent and vision you express.
i have been waiting for this to drop for sooo long, thank you guys for all the hard work. the sound design and quality of this is insane.
easily my fav album of the year
This is incredible. Love listening to you guys at work.
Koan sound, I sincerely wish you could see my reaction from each drop as a way to show how much I enjoyed this album. I went nuts. Thank you Koan sound
Long have we waited for this day. And every moment waiting was worthwhile.
Y'all are amazing. Seeing y'all live was an unexpected treat.
Still vibing to this whole album, always coming back to it after a while, or whenever I have long studying time. Absolute love to this masterpiece
This album had me bopping at the very beginning and absolutely hypnotised by the very end. This is true art. Never change KOAN Sound, you guys have been absolutely killing it since the days you had uploads on Inspector Dubplate’s channel and have improved immensely ever since!
Big ups inspecta
It not often you guys release content but when you do its always a fresh new sound thats totally unique, keep it up guys! 10/10
Thank you so much KOAN Sound. What you do brings so much enjoyment and magic into me and my friends lives. It was great seeing you @ Infrasound this year as well. Hope to c u back soon. Much love.
What an incredible way to end the year
Simply outstanding work, you two. This album is truly mind blowing. Best thing I've heard in a long time
Can't wait to hear more from you both ^-^
Outstanding work !! I didn't know your music, now i am a listener and subscriber. A good suprise to start the year..
You guys are seriously incredible. Keep doing what you do best; making great music, that is.
My ears are engulfed with gorgeous, endless, meaningful details
Absolutely brilliant work. Happy to hear you guys still kicking. I can hear slight references in some songs to earlier work which is a very nice touch, not to mention the fact that you have gone into new territory without losing the funk that always made you stand out.
You guys have gone beyond in production, I tip my hat to you on such a beautiful album youve hit the nail on the head there much love keep them coming you can't cease to amaze I'm loving it haha PEACE
Just perfect. Worth the whole wait for sure. The sounds concepts are so consistent throughout but you boys hit a wide range of moods and genres. Can't stop listening, thank you for this
Beautiful album fellas. Sonic beauty, rich depth and mystical feels. Great job.
Eargasm.
A truly enlighted and creative piece of art.
I just love electronic music thanks to artists like you.
Just listened to the whole piece. An absolute masterpiece.
Thank you KOAN Sound for bringing one of the most awaited and most delivering pieces of audio work of all time. Ultra high quality music from second zero till the end.
Absolutely gorgeous album. Truly worth the wait fellas, congratulations and I hope this is your most successful project to date. :)
Oh and the album cover is gorgeous as well, fits the music very well
Chili Daddy has Squarepusher’s influence written all over it
This is beyond what we (the fans) we’re looking for. Every time you release something I am amazed. This time I’m beyond awe.
You guys absolutely rocked at Wakaan fest, thank you so much!!!
Chilli Daddy! (I'm going to need to wipe myself down) And I thought you guys had packed up shop. What a lovely gift for Christmas. Many gratuitous thank yous Koan Sound. May your holidays be filled with as much wobbly sonic etherealness as this masterwork. x
I have always been a big fan of KOAN and ever since they released forgotten myths I have been eager to hear what they had been working on. The wait was oh so fucking worth it. Honestly one of the best albums I've heard in a long time.
Cobalt - I love how it sounds so organic. The water flowing in the background, the faint party where people is taking photos in the beginning, the xylophone, everything. I can't describe this song in any other way than a jazz song without normal instruments. This song constantly evolves but it feels contained within itself. It is like talking to a person discovering it more and more. I love the climax at @ mark where the glistening synth builds up and then fades with an echo. It is such an awesome intro.
Hustle Hammer - Hitting us with the KOAN "sound" but it doesn't feel old, rather it feels fresh. The hollow sound synths that echo between the ears and morph continuously keeps it interesting. I love how the hollow synth then takes the foreground and becomes the focus. Like you said, it is like there are multiple songs in one but somehow they feel contained within themselves. Cool track.
Chalk it out - To be honest, this track is a bit bland. There isn't much going on and even if I tried I can't remember anything about it. I do however appreciate the genuine drums.
Chilli Daddy - Megafunky! Absolutely love it but I personally have to be in the mood to listen to it.
Virtual Light - All I can say is that this song sounds like what space looks like (if that makes any sense). It is just plain awesome.
Veridian Dream - How they mix the fast and slow paced beats together creates a cool disjointed feeling. The slow and speedy part fight for your attention. When the deafening bass hits the speedy chirpy synths hit back with a few strikes. Then the track just forces you to stand up and dance along with its closing beat.
Prism pulse - I can't remember anything of the song, but I do know that whenever I put it on I love it to death.
Hydroplane - Spaceship battle kind of - with water
Jongmyo - Soothing track. Very soothing.
Drift - The name doesn't fit the track. It feels like a track that should be named "Pulsars"
The Zulla - du di du di du du. Damn I just love this track. It is such a good closer.
Picking favorites is hard but if I had to pick it'd be Cobalt and The Zulla. To me they are the culmination of all the tracks that come in between them.
Thank you KOAN sound. You have made my year a heck of a lot better. The attention to detail in this album is astonishing and I can't wait to see what you guys come up with next!
everyone finding this piece of art can consider himself lucky.. koan you are beyond beautiful
IM speechless to how good this album is. Effing love it! Thank you !
Been waiting for this album for near enough 10 years... Let's do this!
All of these textures are like the most satisfying sonic experience ever! "The Zulla" in particular feels like I'm being mixed in with a glass of ice and water. Brilliant album all around!!
Love you guys, congrats on the release!
I even think about this album on a regular basis trying to put the songs together in my mind. such a great meditation

I appreciate the timestamps since the ones in the video description don't work on mobile devices. Thanks!
Btw, the timestamp for Drift is not correct. It’s 44:36.
@@ingeborghjertaker1963 yargh, thx for the reminder
Love your other stuff. Heard you on noisia radio today, came straight over to check it out. Really creative awesome stuff. Cheers for the sounds !
Been waiting for this for way too long. Instant classic
Can’t wait to see you guys soon!
BWOAH Koan is BACK!!!!!
If it would be 2019 i would say we are up for a really good start.
Man this album inspires me every time I listen it. Thanks
Finally here ! I'm blooding on it since yesterday and I'm going to do this for the 3 next years to compensate for the 3 years of waiting !
Super good, i love it ! you guys will break through for sure
this is beautiful, can't believe i haven't heard it until now
One of, if not the most influential electronic musicians of all time!
Oh boy have I've been waiting for this..
I've just stumbled upon this and now it's one of my favourite albums ever... what a massive inspiration! How the hell does one create music like this?!
so much freakin time and dedication. while everyone else is having fun you gotta know that 5 years from now, all this time you are putting into fl studio / ableton / whatever your Digital Audio Workstation is - will pay off with billions of people dancing to your beats like you are printing healthier cigarettes off the press so people smoke less and "beat" and "enjoy" the rhythm more... - its free energy, free love, formless love...
My Euro trip will be complete with this LP. Thank you KOAN Sound :pray:
KOAN SOUND < 3 my best producers , I missed you guys , GOOOOOOOOOD JOB !
No words ... KOAN Sound still on top
Hands down. Best thing I’ve ever heard in my life.
Incredible, start to finish! Well done lads. Can't wait for Bristol show!
ugh, you guys fucking aced the album god damn, gonna be listening to this for the longest time
This is pure eargasm my good sir.
Gorgeous album. Utterly breathtaking
bro I keep getting back to this and I get chills every single timeee
Same. :)
33:15 Anyone catch the Talk Box throwback? ;)
Chalk It Out is nothing short of genius. 11:36 is my favorite part of the album.
Thanks for the suggestion youtube, an awesome plethora of pleasing sounds.
No wonder it took 3 years!
very nice stuff! Expected more calm things but im happy you made some hefty tunes!
Album of the decade
Excellent work! I really love it❤️
Let's begin this journey.
No actually you were first by 5 seconds. Man

@@noahfeazell3336 you tying to become a part of history or something?
@@lelenny7725 Yes.
This is just quality, love it!
This virtual light has electrocuted me
I had to buy the vinyl to add to my movember collection vinyl as I missed out on the others and vowed never to miss the vinyl press again! Go get it while you can guys it sounds flippin amazing. Hydroplane is my favourite track and easily my favourite dnb track of 2019.
1 year later, still amazing
40k views? This deserves at least 40 million.
Mad chills only 30 seconds in. This is something else.
Pukka! Fantastic Sound Design. Hear the Hybrid Influence. Top Notch work!!
