Flying Lotus - Cosmogramma REACTION/REVIEW

[@alsonotraeon]

"Thundercat was alive in 2010?" Yes. In fact, the majority of his music is actually produced by Flying Lotus. Theyre actually pretty good friends. And both of their first names are Steven lol

[@NotSmirksMusic]

Interesting fact, on the tracks "Table Tennis" and "Galaxy in Janaki" heard at 23:00, Flylo sampled the sound of his mother's heart beat and the breathing from her respirator. Knowing this makes the ending of this album so much more powerful when relistening

[@flap7ack]

Smags wearing his lucky yellow flannel must mean he'll give this album a high score

[@StillIchor]

He is mainly known for his production on TPAB. He also the grandson of Alice Coltrane or John and label owner of Brainfeeder.

[@phononanon]

He's also famous for FlyLo FM from GTA5. Not many artists can say they have an entire radio station named after them in the most successful entertainment product in human history. In fact only one person can: him.

[@dylanraffaelli5204]

I guess it depends what circle. This man has an almost immaculate and certainly legendary catalog of his own albums. Built a huge reputation off that fr he wasn't picked at random for TBAP...especially considering their first collab was never catch me on an album of Flylo'a years prior. Just putting respect on the man's name he's a true artist ❤️‍🔥

[@StillIchor]

@dylanraffaelli5204 For sure, Cosmogramma is one of my favorite electronic albums, period. Definitely an inspiration for the future producers and I can't wait to see what he will do next. I hope for a collab album, maybe Thundercat or Earl could also be fire.

[@lazartlol]

for a 2010 release this thing is lightyears ahead of its time

[@isaiahromero9861]

True but at the same time it also feels ancient, you know what I mean?

[@yourbarber6732]

@@isaiahromero9861The Sun Ra influence gives it that older feeling. Especially on a song like German haircut

[@isaiahromero9861]

@@yourbarber6732 definitely, but I mean even older than that, like something about this album makes it feel like it was made thousands of years ago or something, despite all the crazy sound design and synth work

[@NotSmirksMusic]

Timeless classic. I highly recommend his album "Los Angeles." It's his most definitive album. It's has some of flylo's most intricate production work that leaves it having a very mysterious, otherworldly atmosphere that sounds extraterrestrial-like at times, and feels almost sentient. Yet it'll leave you nodding your head to the trippy beats present throughout its length. "Los Angeles" is special to me and I think you would dig it. I haven't heard any album that has been able too replicate its sound and atmosphere like it has

[@mememan3799]

WE MAKING IT OUT THE COSMOS WITH THIS ONE 🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯 Edit: Drunk by Thundercat is an absolute must listen

[@tqhjejrbrbfbfbbffbgbt]

them changes is one of the best "tiktok" songs in my opinion

"We're gonna hopefully chill out" Ruh roh

I love your channel because I just went though a whole bunch of classic albums in my head, and it looks like you already reacted to them! keep up the great work

[@fruit2540]

Some of the best production ever

[@MrHunterbuchanan]

Thundercat on bass for much of this album is heavenly

[@hono9722]

I really want to hear you react to Obsidian by Baths

[@alt_akelu]

"You're Dead", "Until the quiet comes" and "Los Angeles" are also great albums by flylo:)

[@TheCinnyBun]

i think its physically impossible to listen to do the astral plane without dancing

[@ParkerHill-ly5jb]

Please do You're Dead that album is insane ‼️‼️

[@zachm3264]

Thom Yorke - The Eraser!!!

[@greg5730]

Aunties harp refers to his great auntie Alice Coltrane

[@skunkape1085]

More Flying Lotus would be sick. Duck Stab by The Residents would also be sick.

[@toejoe]

MmmHmm changed my life when i was 15,, i never saw clearer. Also backing up the comment recommending bait ones by jai paul, another game changer.

[@isaiahromero9861]

This album is so chaotic and raw, but also so beautiful and mysterious. Theres literally nothing else like it, this album is just full of creativity

[@kevingteresi]

If I could put in a request, Jai Paul's album would be a fun ride of a video

LMAO

[@chaosmos24]

'Los Angeles,' 'Until the Quiet Comes,' 'You're Dead,' and 'Flamagra' are all essentially for me. Top three "IDM" artist for me with Aphex Twin and Autechre. edit: Forgot his 'Reset' EP. 'Massage Situation' is a banger.

[@zachsharkattack8681]

Strapped in for another Smags certified hood classic, wish me luck!

[@mr.muffin5635]

great reaction! love this album, i always come back to listen to it, great stuff

[@kevingteresi]

You sir just keep on putting in the work. God bless

[@wyattjohnson3714]

would be so cringe & unbased of you to listen to Caligula by Lingua Ignota

[@wyattjohnson3714]

[@acydxtal]

Nice! This is one of those albums where if somebody asked me (no one lol) what's the most nicely produced album or the one that is most overproduced, first that'll come to my mind is Cosmogramma no matter what. I'd really suggest you reading background behind this album and how particularly last track was made . It's very touching and personal. Kind of a rarity when a electronic album has something like that. I'd really love to see you do Iglooghost - Neō Wax Bloom reaction someday. It is also kind of overproduced as fuck but beautiful and nice.

[@isaiahromero9861]

I wouldn't say it sounds overproduced, to me "overproduced" refers to music that sounds way too clean and sterile, like the production on most mainstream pop music. This album has insanely complex production and it sounds amazing, but it still has that raw lofi feeling to it and tons of aggressive sidechaining and distortion, it all feels so human and real.

[@NozzaCooks]

In Lieu Of Flowers by Aaron West and The Roaring Twenties would be sick. It's my favourite album this year so far

[@TheLegendaryLoboSolo]

Endtroducing CD 👀

[@daviddevora8105]

one of my favorite albums ever thx

[@chuy3_438]

Lcd soundsystem this is happening it's been months since sound of silver plss

[@Manannan0402]

Definitely try You're Dead as well. And as others have said, any Thundercat album but especially Drunk.

[@_CoasterNinja]

Great choice! One of my favourite electronic records from that era! Also the first collaboration with FlyLo and Thom Yorke! There’s a few great videos of them DJing together on KZbin if you want to check it out.

[@soydave1988]

You definitely should check out Flying Lotus's "Los Angeles" and "You're Dead" albums. I think you'd enjoy both for sure

[@isaiahromero9861]

Los Angeles might be even better than Cosmogramma. You're Dead is also amazing but the second half is kinda weak imo

[@sarang8585]

please do God’s Country by Chat Pile 🙏🙏🙏

[@xiuxiuenjoyer]

that would be so interesting for him lmao

[@SandileShamase-ll6tg]

I can't believe you started with the AFXs,Autechre and the boards of Canada then went to FlyLo I was in opposite started with him and the Ras G Samiyam Daddy Kev etc then the heavier stuff

[@drxbll]

also I recommend you react to Autechre- tri repetae, one of their old works but still holds up today

[@neromxxn2252]

By the way, Beth Gibbon of Portishead released a new solo album and it’s absolutely incredible, please react to it

[@brandonburroughs7128]

Smags, we need Xiu Xiu or more Death Grips. Pls finish the DG catalog. I need to see you hear Year of the Snitch!

[@mida5989]

check out pond - the weather, will make your head explode

[@Petalight]

been waiting for this one!! if you're looking for another banger 2010 album check out This Is Happening by LCD Soundsystem! I know you werent crazy about Sound of Silver but I think this one will be more up your alley

[@thirtytwelve6434]

listen to cross by justice!

[@Canela33]

This album is always mindblowing, not as your consistency but it reaches close tho

[@alalulu4503]

maybe you should try KOAN Sound - Funk Blaster EP. If you interested in crazy sound design glith hop type shit from 2011🙃

[@xiuxiuenjoyer]

i think you would fw kick iii by Arca so much based on this reaction

[@newhillroad]

you have to do the sprain album its soooo gooooooood

[@nyaCLGTA]

Please review Simple Things of Zero 7

[@robertro2909]

Finally, I have been waiting so goddamn long In my mind ever time I listen to this album i think about if nervous system and cells in our body had sound tracks Please react/listen to more flying lotus If you want more hip hop from flying louts : Captain Murphy - Duality ,Ideas+drafts+loops Or jazz I would recommend: You're Dead! Or electronic/psychedelic :1983 , los Angeles, Until the Quiet Comes

[@CoolcatzCorner]

The day I’m commenting marks 7 year since Chris Cornell’s passing so it feels only right to once again recommend Superunknown by Soundgarden. Hard to express how much this band has helped me through my own struggles. Chris truly had a one of a kind voice and soul. Batmotorfinger also is an amazing record

[@cragnog]

This is instantly one of my all time favourite reactions. Biased because this is basically one of my favourite albums of all time and to see you absolutely feel it more and more and really 'get it' was just peak satisfaction. So happy you enjoyed our guy flylo.
