Cosmogramma is definitely Flying Lotus taking it a notch up
from Los Angeles. It's funkier, jazzier, dirtier, cleverer
and simply a more fun album than its predecessor. And where
other Warp acts like Gonjasufi doesn't quite do it for me,
Cosmogramma does!

I think it's cosmogrammatically correct.

it's really a good record with a proper title to describe
it. I like FL very much one of the best act of warp, really
enjoyed also reset and los angeles

Reset was the bomb. Even his earlier stuff was wonderful but
this is his best work IMO

i'm not so sure about any of this.

is this real life? or just a dream? is this art? is this the
future? is this what it's come to?

Just listening, it's a good release! Anyone went for the
limited gold plated edition??

Not sure about it, very slow start but it gets quite good in
the second half. Incongruous.

I really do like it but I'm convinced Los Angeles is even
better. Seems more conceptually "whole" (the songs are
stronger and flow into each other so naturally)

Reset EP is SICK

Yes I listened to samples of Reset.
I would go for the Cosmogramma limited edition just for the
cover art though.....

Songs are great, production / mastering is ass. Shit's
brickwalled, son. Get some dynamics.

imho it's overcompressed on purpose

It's unlistenable on purpose? That's bad and stupid. It's
dumb to do wrong things.

the compression gives material a weird in your face tonality
that I think was intentional, not a product of bad
mastering. Clark tracks aswell are so compressed you can
hear artifacts, compression as a tool to color sound, take
it or leave

I guess it's a personal taste thing then because I don't
like Clark either. :-(

I think J Dilla's Donuts album had a good amount of
compression, a lot of beatmakers use it now to excess, it
just makes things sound more cohesive.

Cosmogramma is one of the best produced albums of the past
decade. It's a little incohesive in terms of track flow at
points, but that's what makes it work sometimes- it's a
jilty ride that you're either in the mood for or aren't. A
lot of the tracks as standalone tunes though are fucking
untouchable. Nobody else has ripped scenes and genres to
shreds as naturally as FlyLo has in the past few years.
Tis a pity the new album is shaping up to be uninspired, but
if he's already peaked, then so be it. L.A. will be in my
top 10 most likely forever

cosmogramma is my favorite album of the last 5 years or so.
i'm stilling waiting to listed to the new one, gotta give it
the right moment (read: waiting till a nice evening after
some lsd, likely isam 2.0 next friday)

I can't say I'm a fan of Amon Tobin, but I wish you a
resplendent evening all the same. The first track I ever
listened to under the influence of LSD was Golden Diva off
of Los Angeles. I vote that you chuck it in your playlist
for next week if you haven't heard it already. Recoiled is
probably my favourite off Cosmogramma at the moment, though
it always changes. Gat-dam, that tone on the fuckin sax

i was thinking about this, today. we've hit the brickwall
and then kept going. instead of adding sound to blank tape,
you now simply shove other sounds aside. it's a wall of
noise where things stampede older generations, gradually,
musically. it is also colossal fucking ear rape.

i think autechre managed to dodge this problem by doing a
30min piece at 300,000bpm but it's too much calculus and
max/msp elbow patches for me
