[@willkriss1497]

This song invokes the exact feelings I had at electric Forest 2014. Got to see FlyLo perform there. I’ll never💜 forget it

[@PSpencer]

First time i heard this song was randomly stumbling across it in the 'My Music' folder of my Windows XP computer back around 2011. I was in middle school at the time. No idea how it got there, I assumed it was preloaded along with the couple of other songs on it. played it and i wasn't immediately thrilled with it. Until the beat came in after the intro. I just remember a whole new ethereal world flashing into my subconscious when it came in. I had listened to a decent amount of electronic music, but nothing like this. That was the first time i was exposed to FlyLo's work. And am I ever grateful i stumbled across this song.

[@Docshock92]

Born in 92, that sound reminds me of playing my Nintendo 64 when I was little, Still have it to this day that and the Ps2 I would say are the two biggest systems I grew up Dynasty Warriors 4 (2004), Shinobi (2002), Mario Kart(1996), Pokemon Stadium 2 (2000), Crash Bandicoot Warped (1998), Super Smash Bros (1999)((Even though Melee is my favorite)), And xbox 360 was kind of the last system of my childhood got that in 07 when I was 14. Man Nostalgia is awesome

[@aquabuffet]

congratulations. no one gives a fucking piss that you like old video games. it's all about that new shit now, you know, laser guns, explosions, buildings falling and airplanes smashing into really tall buildings

[@rogerklein6522]

deathawaits22 Don't disrespect the classics, douche...

[@rogerklein6522]

deathawaits22 Judging from your vocabulary, you're most likely twelve. The reason these games are cherished is because they hold a certain sense of nostalgia to the people who played these when they were growing up. Quite frankly a large portion of games are not creative and generally follow the same basic plots or concepts. It's boring and repetitive.

[@ChaChinnngK]

Connor Baskett Wow, awkward. Who would have thought one would read this kind of shit on these type of songs ? The style is far older than those games, weird

[@Docshock92]

ChaChinnngK Those sounds though were indeed yes made in the 80s but were played through in the 00s when I was a child that's why it hits a nostalgic nerve

[@pushthetempo2]

+Egie Asemota I don't think this is classed as trip-hop. Check out Massive Attack and Portishead from the UK for that. Top bands!

[@ClarenceCoffeeBlack]

A lot of producers are visible in this. Pete Rock especially with the little bonus beat at the end, that's CL Smooth era where you hear a 4 minute hip-hop track then get a little snazzy beat to listen to for 30 seconds or so. Double K (of People Under the Stairs) did that a lot too. I see FlyLo's style as a culmination of many genres of music, always borrowing something with a tip o' the hat to whatever the original artist was going for. In some cases he samples spiritual music of Africa etc.

First time I heard this was when I bought 1983, Cosmogramma, and Until the Quiet Comes ALL AT ONCE (already had Los Angeles). My tradition is to listen to every album I buy from start to finish....so when I heard this song and it's transition at 4:34. I lost my mind.

[@markmedi2370]

Definitely man, with music like this you really have to listen to the songs all the way. Even if you don't exactly like the beginning.

[@Scilla_Sage]

Mark Hazleton i hope u found it by now

[@WuWei_94]

That's the only way to listen to Flylo. He puts together albums not playlists unlike many a contemporary artists. The shuffle culture is awful. To truly experience something, you have to give it your time. I personally find that the car is a good place to listen to albums on the go, especially on longer drives that are 30 minutes or morr. Even busy people can do that.

I'm late to the comments (but right on time too, paradox). I just found Flying Lotus so this song sounds pretty tight to me. I found out about FlyLo by listening to a YT vidoe debate about Miles Davis between Stanley Crouch and James Mtume (Rest in Power). FlyLo was mentioned in the comments as having been one of the many artists Miles influenced by his use of electronic synths and beat machines in the 2nd half of his musical career. Anyway, this beat is definitely hypnotic and I especially like the homage he pays to the late Great Jazz phenomena that was Sun Ra, by sampling sounds from the beginning of Sun Ra's epic metaphysical 1973 movie called "Space Is The Place".
