Soundgarden - Night Surf 

"Night Surf" is an instrumental piece written, performed, and recorded by Ben Shepherd, and used as the soundtrack companion for a film short directed by Henry Shepherd. The work ran as an opening to Soundgarden's live shows during the '94 Superunknown U.S. tour only, and otherwise had never been available, or shown since, until now. Those who were in attendance, and attentive to the intro at a Soundgarden concert during this tour have been the only ones fortunate enough to view and hear "Night Surf". The song had never been released before, and now it is newly remastered for the 'Echo Of Miles: Scattered Tracks Across the Path' box set collection of non-album tracks, and rarities. The film had been buried in storage, and only recently was it located, dusted off, and remastered for its debut here, online, or anywhere after 21 years!" - Kim Thayil

Beautiful bass Superunknown is one of the greatest albums ever and Soundgarden are one of the best bands ever!

Typical Soundgarden :) catchy, alternative guitar riffs, weird-ass music videos, trippy bass lines... it has it all!

I sang riders on the storm along with this magical tune. Fits perfectly. This is psychedelia at its best. Syd Barret and the Doors would sound exactly like this.

Matt Cameron is so underrated as a drummer

This was played at live shows in '94. Parts of the video were also used in the "My Wave" video

I need a 1 hour loop of this. Is so mesmerizing

It's bizarre and doesn't sound at all like traditional Soundgarden, but I kinda dig it! The keyboard hook keeps playing over and over in my head just like it did in the song. I admire Soundgarden for sharing this with us. I'm willing to bet they all had a good laugh when they found and watched this after so many years! :D

Very 1960's/surfing sounding. I waited 5 years for a follow up to King Animal. RIP Chris

I think I'm stoned now. Thanks soundgarden.

Psychedelic and weird, great bass lines!

THIS HAS HAUNTED ME SINCE THAT TOUR THANK YOU!

Wow. I remember this playing before a show I saw in Houston a long time ago. They had this playing on a screen in front of the stage and if I recall correctly they were playing live behind it. Really awesome to see this again.

Im so happy i got to hear this. Spooky, dreamy, weird, abstract. Music is pretty amazing...

Right away knew that it is Hunter Benedict Shepherd's work. His "In Deep Owl" album is hauntingly beautiful!

Umm this is fucking awesome. Psychedelic, trippy. I like it. Ben is a great musician.

This is very deep,we are so lost death that we've gone away from the dawn itself. This reminds me of what Jim said in one of his songs before he passed,no eternal reward now will forgive us for wasting the dawn.

Ben Shepherd makes the most interesting tunes. I can't even tell what they are, I guess they fall under the "rock" category, but just barely.

Genuis! Grunge is about to make a come back mark my word. Love, the girl with the most cake 💋

I never hear this one. Thank you. RIP. Chris 17-05-17

SoundGarden is one of those bands that with RARELY exceptions ALL the members are top level musicians, just like the Beatles or PinkFloyd, where all the members were talented and multifaceted. The bassist (Ben Shepherd) is a monster, the drummer (Matt Cameron) is a killer, the guitarist (Kim Thayil) is breathtaking in the tuning and complexity of the riffs, and Cornell sings like a God of Olympus, as well as playing very well, it's a band that has everything in terms of music, composition, chords, sonority, it's like a classical music show where the Maestro is rock n roll.

This defines soundgarden So haunting!

I wish they'd done more instrumentals...I adore this....it illustrates again what musical masters all these four guys were.

This is the Soungarden alterego !!!

More of this, please.

I dig the vibe.

Sounds more like the Doors, just missing Chris' best Jim Morrison impression.

Real Day Manzarek psychedelic vibes here..love it ,the visuals are stunning .x

My favorite Superunknown song along with Black Hole Sun,I think the whole album is from the perspective of that kid!

this song does have a cool vibe, it would be really cool if Chris Cornell would write lyrics for it.

This a perfect sound for a Lsd Night Surf

Sweet sweet song... I like that stuff, even if it's not like the other musics, I really apreciate !

Enjoying this mystical ride right now instead of concentrating at work. Fuck work anyway.

Ben, you will never cease to amaze me (you, too, Henry; and of course, SG ;)

Ben, you're a hella of an artist, thank you man, i love your work with Hater and Wellwater Conspiracy and even 600 school and March of Crimes, hope you're doing fine, cheers!

Great track!!

totally ben shepherd...should be in a tarantino film

Henry Shepherd must have been watching some Kenneth Anger movies. First impression that came to mind. Love the band and the songs.

For some reason, the second half of the video reminds me of the game called Limbo

Es hipnótica. La puedo estar escuchando todo el día.

Much as their music wasn't really psychadelic, per se, this video as well as their backgrounds at concerts always had a psychadelic feel with the sepia tones.

Nice 60's jam.

90's quality in a nutshell.

So this is where the guy in the My Wave video came from.

xxxx

psycho soundgarden ! yeah !! good mix !!

Wow!.. someone must of' slipped some happy acid in my coffee this morning cuz I am ta-rippin' on this Soungarden video/ Ben Shepherd instrumental/ short film...! It's really pretty mesmerizing , and I instantaneously thought of the late, great Ray Manzerak when I heard the first note of that Vox sounding organ! Very cool, Ben ... Great Job!!!!! Also loved seeing the Soundgarden video of the Doors song ," Waiting for the Sun" live in Germany, fantastic rendition, blew me away.😘🤩🎸🎹🎥☮

Damn I got sent back to the 70's.

More ben sheperd stuff please.

Haunting!!

Like the Doors

Nice song

It sounds Pink Floyd performance! Great Soundgarden...

Wow what did just happen? Nice. Thank you Ben!

Spatial!!

This is an awesome instrumental! 👐 reminds me of a classic Clutchy Hopkins piece. ♥️

very good.

Love it yeahhhhhhhhh

Briza !!

Great!

back to the 60ies baby :-p

Awesome! :)

Cool!!

Cool

exelant

this guy is a little genius

Oh yes I love this 2:05

nice

It's good.

wonder if there ever were any lyrics Cornell wrote for this

Base is a little like the intro from Switch Opens

Man !

Its like someone made an epsiode of Pete and Pete, after drinking too many milkshakes.

Let's suppose it's night and then a blue guy appear in from of you. He has a hourglass and he flips it and for some reason it makes him very happy he cracks a scary smile. What do you do? a) run away b)run as fast as possible! c) listen to what he have to you Correct answer: of cour C

Bem Loko 🤟☠️

This doesn’t even sound like them but I somehow still really like it. It’s got an indie slacker vibe like Beck or Pavement

💪

🧜🏼‍♂️

Dude man that's some heavy shit . . . what's it all mean?

Makes me want to buy a copper push bike very cool.

This reminds me some kind of pink Floyd

It's like NIN and the Doors had a child!

🌱Sound-garden 🌏🌎🌍

This reminds me of the Doors a little

really ok

Who needs acid trippy stuff 🤪🥴🤯

The blue man returns

the blue guy is from the my wave video doesn´t it

Soundgardens' psychedelic stoner Ben Shepherd song jajaja

Contains some parts of My Wave video...

I use too have a bannana boat bikes this looks likes Chris Cornell. Late 1970,s they had these bikes.I could of been a kids likes Chris Cornell riding a bikes with him.4 years apart. Nice sadly songs.👨👧👍👍💘💘.

The Nirvana vibes I'm still getting from this... Damn, what has music become? Like- I'm an ARMY (BTS fan) and I do enjoy listening to other artists, but what happened to this kind of music making? This was a fucking musical revolution/evolution!!

pavement

How come there's an album called night surf?

would be a great ost for Chernobyl...

This is full Ben Shepherd

I love Chris Cornell, but I’m not a Soundgarden fan, at all... Because all of their songs depress me. However, this is one of the best Surf Rock songs, I’ve ever heard! A bit of “Walk Don’t Run” vibe. 🤙

New to me. I know, Flutter exposed it 5 years ago. I didn't know. Pretty fucking cool, eh?

this kind of sounds like something the deftones would write
