HAKEN - Streams (Album Track)

[@LeonThomasian]

At 5:11, the crash cymbal stays in 4/4 but the harmonic meter in the organ changes to 7/4 (4/4+3/4)... they intertwine so beautifully it’s hardly noticeable yet I was so satisfied when I realized it. Haken is truly genius beyond imagination.

[@iDoqz]

so it's a 7:4 polyrhythm? that's awesome!

[@bosh6604]

I noticed it when i was headbanging to it, so damn headbangable because of that

[@luissebastianjimeneztorvis6927]

@@iDoqz I think it would be a polymeter, but don't take my word for it.

[@iDoqz]

@@luissebastianjimeneztorvis6927 i think polymeter and polyrhythm are two names for the same thing, but I'm also not sure about it

[@awamxja]

@@iDoqz polyrhythm = 2 or more different rhythms clashing. it doesn't have to be 2 different time signatures. polymeter = 2 or more different time signatures at the same time.

[@ThatCheapDrummer]

I love how much clearer the drums and bass are. Jens did a great job.

[@blumpkin69ish]

The growls fill me with so much terror, its one of the reasons i consider this one of the most emotionally jarring songs ive ever heard. So much emotional dynamic

[@josie1776]

That growl part ruined the song.

[@KurtDepner]

How am I just now discovering this band? They popped up in my suggestions because of my semi obsession with Leprous and wow, oh wow! The KZbin algorithms got this one right 100%. Haken are amazing.

[@droseras3002]

These guys are some of the most talented and greatest musicians to come out of England. May I recommend you listen to there master piece of an album “Visions”. I would also like to add that up until there album “Affinity” there guitarist Richard Henshall wrote and composed all the music for the first 3 albums, not including EP’s. Enjoy your ride with this amazing music!

Lyrics: Oooh, now that I am free Swimming with the many fishes of the stream Yeah, and I am welcome here We all just connected, swimmingly Streams of life digress like water running through my veins I'm learning how to breathe Living underwater I am deeper than the eye can see Yeah, it was meant to be Now I'm flowing with the current of the stream Streams of life digress like water running through my veins Running through my veins Running through my veins I start my life again Just as well this ain't the first stream I have swam Cold water rushing to my brain Is thicker than the blood that's flowing through my veins Streams of life digress like water running through my veins Streams of blood like liquid love is rushing to my brain It suddenly hits me In the heat of the sun A product of fear Far from human It suddenly hits me And crushes my world Like a tidal wave Trapped in my shell It suddenly hits me What I have become? Searching for answers In my aquarium It suddenly bites me And poisons my veins Lost and unable to find my way My chosen path The direction that I take Is the consequence Of your greatest mistake When that day arrives It's decision time Which way will I turn? Will I ever really learn? If I'm shown the way I will never be alone The choice is mine In deciding where I'll go All our souls digressed We started as one All our journeys will end At the same destination Streams of life digress like water running through my veins Streams of blood like liquid love is rushing to my brain

[@moist__owlette]

My favorite album of all time

[@IgnacioAtenas]

it hasnt even been released O.o

[@rauswous]

its a reissue from the 2010 album aquarius. so yes, it has been released earlier. just a remastered version. The original was released under 'Sensory records'. After some rights BS they probably now fixed so that inside out can release it with probably better payouts/circumstances for the band i guess.

[@IgnacioAtenas]

Oh, right. I've listened to that album. My bad.

[@neuroscope9052]

That's probably right. it's been out of print for a while.

RBKluuzGH does this definitely mean they will be on Spotify? I was wondering about that.

[@dsaillant811]

They confirmed it on facebook the other day, it will be

[@subwaytosally18642]

It's indeed a great remaster but as the original releases already sound good (especially Visions), I'll be keeping them and will not be buying the remastered versions. It's a nice opportunity for those don't have the original releases to get the first two albums though.

[@progfoxmusic]

The vocals and bass on the original aren't great, that's my only problem with original Aquarius and the drums on visions are a little muddy. Still miles better than a lot of people's debuts.

[@michaelmodjeski6945]

Such a more seasoned band than Dream Theater. The Brits own Prog rock. American bands with the exception of Happy The Man, Kansas, and Fireballet, were some of the only bands to pull it off. Hats off to HAKEN for resurrecting complex and passionate progressive music! 😸🎸🎹🎨

Ethan Griffiths personal taste. It's not bad. But I really like the chorus. Sorry if it sounded too negative.

[@AnimeGrantGamer]

The singer is just trash. They really need to replace him. He sounds like a cat trying to pass a kidney stone.

[@ArturoGarcia007]

took me a while for them to grow on me as well but it wasn't that hard for me because i'm also a RUSH fan haha. But, if vocals can't grown on you, both of their reissues come with instrumental versions of BOTH albums! They're really considerate with that. Even Affinity (their last album) had an instrumental version as well if you buy the deluxe.
