[@thiagosaurotv140]

It's harsh that many bands of the 00's were forgotten just because of the time flow. Spotify and KZbin recomends us so much stuff we simply forget great things we shouldn't. When albums were physical, from time to time we remembered them by seeing 'em in their material form. We touched 'em. But since music is just links and likes and subscribes, the algorythm works great in showing me new stuff that's great; but it obsoletes the older ones. I just remembered Machine Dreams. I loved it, I was so young! So many memories... Truly thankful for having it uncovered many years later. Cheers from brazil!

[@OYOKO]

I had to come back and listen to this full album again 🤍

It's official: I'm addicted. This is amazing. Fool of me for not knowing this before.

[@jinuju2087]

[@zenogoberti9003]

Meh..

[@hisvorpalsword]

This album should come with a pair of roller skates.

[@beep.1017]

And a pack of pre rolls! 😄🍃⛽️😤 but hey that's all of their records for me.

[@rivpupper]

❤❤❤❤❤

[@gpboutabag8504]

Little Dragon is so musically satisfying and intricate they dont even fall under a genre, they have their own genre......"that's my opinion"

[@beep.1017]

Same I couldn't put them in a genre if I tried. Every song is just so uniquely different too imo. 🔥

[@Arkain89]

dream pop

[@ccastaneda1535]

True

[@baphomet_syntax]

Listening to this album feels like biting into a fresh fruit in summertime

[@shantikeet]

Machine Dreams, 2009. Before this kinda stuff was on the radio, In the land of Akon and Lady gaga, I would boot up our windows XP laptop with ridiculously low bandwidth, get on myspace just to listen to this album. Little dragon is perfect for driving alone in spring sunshowers. There is something so charming about it, yet unconventional enough to not sound like a modern pop hit. In my opinion Machine Dreams is about a adult woman singing about the different aspects of a relationship. “Its a quiet storm, deceptively intense and even sensual.“ Its a surrealistic approach to jazz. Its light and keyboards and synths are warmed with Yukimi Nagano’s grounding voice It still stands alone to this day, while giving a respectable nod to 80s electropop hits before it without cashing hard on nostalgia.

[@WGYPSY]

This album is such a unique masterpiece!! It's been on repeat since I first heard it :')

[@SaidSheThatsWhat]

It's been a year. I suppose you've been committed by now.

[@SaidSheThatsWhat]

I have been deeply wounded by you, stranger. I only hope it's helpful to know that these comments are indeed stationary and silent, making it appear as though you are actively searching for your bitchhood.

[@unixis1]

There be dragons caught in threads.........omfg!! Get above.

[@ashtynbigelow448]

lol same. its simply exquisite.

[@biponacci]

You might enjoy The King of Limbs by Radiohead then; in some ways a similar aesthetic

[@Peacelovenature]

"feather" tho

[@gabel13]

damn this album is sick, so smooth and connected throughout

[@ARCexmachina]

This album is bliss, saves me from the tedium of the work day.

[@VocabDoctor00]

So freaking catchy and soulful, it borders on unsettling. Yet, it remains from start to finish, a soothing and soaring malady that gets better with each listen.

[@harueno4670]

this has the the power to inspire! it has inspired me to make music that i think is beautiful, because this is so beautiful!

[@Apemopo]

feather is my favorite track. good album but that one (adn A New) are just on another level completely.

[@kobuna7577]

I Agree man they are both trippy as fuck

[@stephanieb663]

you are...........................................airborn

[@ashtynbigelow448]

feather definitely is the go-to track, you are fully correct, sir. this album is a blast from start to finish. im only just now getting into their new stuff

[@gregfinn3800]

Hahahaha!!! Vanilla ice!

[@Sochilinda]

Looking glass reminds me so much to DEPECHE MODE's 80's albums :) not her voice but the music. They learned from the best! ;)

[@TheRadiohead77]

Depeche Mode is 1 of the Best 80's Bands Ever! I never got the chance to see them in the 80's or 90's but My Husband Surprised me last year to see them for my very First Time for my Birthday,It was a Memory I will not Ever Forget! They still Kick A$$ on Stage :) I am so Blessed to have been Born in the Most Popular Generations Ever:) 80's Will forever Live On!!!!!!!

[@vincentskater]

TheRadiohead77 Favourite band is Radiohead and you were born in 77? My fav band is Radiohead :D

[@mattydigs]

***** Well 15 ppl disagree with you, Since they aren't an extremely popular band these days, I'd be more inclined to believe that those DM fans know what's up.

[@adriankumli3704]

10 years later and im still jamming to this album like theres no tomorrow

[@DiogoMascarenhasAndrade]

Very well produced album.

[@DeadlyHairdryer]

this album is a masterpiece!

[@esho1982]

I swear they kill the intro track game...

[@stt4676]

Everytime i listen, i notice something new in each song. Theres alot of depth here and I love it

[@Tormentality]

shout to Riff Raff for being a fan of THIS album!

[@Ozterkvlt]

riff brought me here too

[@bobosc20y20]

Y

[@daynedmcp]

One of my most favorite albums from Little Dragon! I love how seamlessly each track blends into each other! I wish it was on Apple Music in my country!

[@jackvanderhyde8828]

I usually don't listen to tekno pop, but this is alrite. I downloaded this! Feather is definitely a catchy earworm.

[@sebastianviacava743]

Little dragon have collaborated with Gorillaz band in Plastic two great artists!!!!

[@mpumelelondaba]

Thunder Love * insert a million hearts here *

[@LilBenki]

I couldn't agree any harder

[@Apemopo]

yeh!

[@MrFeyerwire]

Thank you so much Sweden, long live Sweden. Thank you for being you, for bringing us some of the best music in the world. Thank you for Little Dragon, The Knife/Fever Ray, Royksopp and ABBA to name a few. Thank you for also showing the world how to run their countries well, by being among the best places on earth to be born. Thank you thank you and thank you some more

[@Dzheep]

Abba? lol My 90-yo parents thank you. We all like Jose Gonzalez though.

[@sirolf014]

royksopp is norwegian :P Scandanavia fits your description really well though

[@heydinosaur]

Yeah. I thought The Knife was from Iceland...?

[@richardscott1657]

i feel like a criminal listening to this for free

[@copperjane422]

I can’t find this album anywhere!

[@brandonmoody9557]

Easily one of my all time favorite albums

[@Cordial_Lump]

Alternative doesn't even begin to discribe this

[@nik0o99]

[@diegorosalesdelgado885]

love little man...my step in your live concert of berlin some years ago.like klap klap..too......you have everyone of you..when da fuck they are going to come spain...i don't know where its tha next time..

[@alanp2296]

How do I press “love” for an album?

[@CeciSBon]

I had this album saved in one of my playlists - they deleted the video and I went crazy because I couldn't remember the name. I spent weeks trying to remember it. Now I found it again and I've never been so happy.

[@stevied2008]

Never Never. Hell yeah.

[@kayb2935]

I'll always remember playing Feather on my way home around midnight after work. It was dark and all I could see is headlights and ship lights. It was magical, I felt I was on MK rainbow road

[@colinefleming1]

Just saw DJ Shadow at Fonda Theatre in LA and I think he said he did a song with Little Dragon. Would anyone know which song he's referring to?

[@Thyrion07]

Colin Fleming scale it back is the name of the song! Fantastic drums on that piece.

[@clemguitarechal]

"Feather" always got me... Can't help but letting sweat tears rolling over my face. Even after all these years. Like a caress.. thank you so much for that Love you guys

[@jeffpowell9505]

58 seconds in best thing I've heard the build up is perfect.

[@xDTHECHEMISTx]

This is the album I found first by luck years ago that got me on to the group. Looking glass was the first song I heard and was a hooked fan ever since. My "Retro 80s vibe" music ears locked me in

[@beesley45]

Who's here because of Flume??

[@BriannaAnnette]

why did it take me forever to find little dragon! Seriuosly they're just right up my alley.

[@soundsmythmfg]

Ditto, x7yrs

[@BriannaAnnette]

@@soundsmythmfg hey nice 👌🏼

[@Chaziltasm]

I love this record. They were more experimental in the early days. Her voice is beautiful as it soars across their soulful melodies. Man, what a great album.

[@Mirtguitar]

Totally agree.

[@derekholland3328]

totally agree..more experimental and unique with this release..they are awesome!

[@Act1veSp1n]

This is the best one out of the bunch, but I really love the Best Of Album from 2014 - its just non-stop hits. They should re-release it with all the new songs.

[@EYTPS]

Nordic nations make fantastic music........ Aqua, Little Dragon, LazyTown (Yeah, I said it)

[@AmeliaMad]

feather is so great

[@sibz1101]

I love this whole album

[@rezadezlopez4467]

And from the third song I knew I had to thumbs up this beautiful album!

[@truedonblue3949]

WOW! that was heavy.

[@blacktepes]

Loving Thunder Love and Runabout so far

[@Apemopo]

two songs in was already loving it. four songs now. is rly rely goood.

[@mariaholtz1]

It is absolutely beautiful and amazing.

[@SalmonMage]

Freaking love thunder love so much. Well, all the tracks are awesome but thunder love is so good.

[@abcffgmnfgqraadw]

It's like the game show music in the original total recall movie but a real group. Brilliant. The future is here.

[@clementinewhite9117]

Superb album of all! Gj Little Dragon.

[@timothyradi7421]

الحمد لله على السمع والأبصار والأفئدة Alhamdullilah for sight, hearing and heart.

[@lazyred2763]

[@soniafaye9919]

ive missed this, thanks so much for the re-upload!

[@teoktb3108]

I was just thinking about this album today. Found Little Dragon through Gorillaz and decided to give em a try. Listening to this album after some years is really fulfilling, I forgot how much I liked some of these songs!

[@michaelgscott4289]

some of the random sounds remind me of bladerunner

[@rcimarketing7620]

world's best background music!

[@diannehh]

I'm back here after what, almost 10 years and oooohhhhh this brings back good memories! I still LOVE this, lyrics were getting blurry but then when you hear the tune, they pop out from under the dust and flow like before :D I love this music so much

[@juttaduncan33]

Same!! Haven’t listened to this in a loooong time and putting it on instantly reminded me of bike rides in the Spring when I first discovered this. 🎉

[@Gatorade69]

Same. Haven't listened to this album in forever...

[@GaginDeepPurple]

11:47am, "Yeah its gota post eighties taste",

[@xDTHECHEMISTx]

Dope album. First time finding them by luck in 2012 with that one on a new wave rabbit hole trip for the day. First track I heard was "Feather". Shit gave me a dope late 80s vibe

[@theliveing]

I just started listening, and now I'm already a fan.

OMG the cover! Glad I'm not high

[@mikeross7457]

You should be 😎👽

[@quetzalsanchez683]

Swimming is so good, like its just so simple but it couldn't be better. I love it.

[@SaidSheThatsWhat]

It is indeed a uniquely great form of exercise, however many people don't have access to a pool at all, much less all year. Additionally, sun screen is extremely uncomfortable, but unfortunately necessary to prevent the most hellish experience that is sunburn. We do not yet have the technology to make this wonderful workout enjoyable for all. A tragedy of our apparently still primitive time.

[@rituales]

This.... this comment really opened my eyes wow.

[@AlexGreif]

here because of YEARS and YEARS

[@ghettoloco3313]

And years!!!!

[@bricks3221]

Look forward to seeing them play in Van in August.
