Cloudkicker - Beacons [2010]


This is an instrumental album by solo artist Ben "Cloudkicker" Sharp. He plays the guitar/bass himself, the drums are programmed.
Beacons is a dynamic, atmospheric mosaic of heavy metal riffs, post rock, and ambient soundscapes. The tempo shifts very naturally, transitions flow at a tasteful pace. None of the sections drag on so long as to be repetitive, yet none are so short as to seem underdeveloped.

Beacons is a solid, tastefully composed album, and it's available completely free! Kudos to Ben Sharp, what a sick bloke.
