a bit of a make or break album for me

To people like US, a record is a piece of history. A moment in time.
Most people don't get it.

beat-tape ish....to some that may seem digressive, but it's what I want to hear from him right now. An upgraded "1983" would be lovely imo.

I can't wait for this.

Got a feeling it's gonna be more CosmoG than UTQC.
REALLY HOPE he stays away from the trap drums
that he's been messing with. For those wanting Murphy,
he said Murph will be on this album but not in a way you'd expect.

Don't want any rap features on here unless utilized in a way
like he does with Thom. But if he's got Kendrick on here, hope it's
a 5 minute journey.

Don't know if the Herbie Hancock album morphed into this album
or if he's doing a Brainfeeder jazz trio type thing w/ Herbie,
Thundercat and himself for a later release.

Hope we get a taste of the album soon. Been dying to hear some new FlyLo.

and the shit he was doing with Thundercat. fucn modern Chick Corea light as a feather sleep on a dow comforter and pillow looking at the pacific ocean sunset ass music

sure some of it is good, but...

anyways, new Lotus always gets me hype.

To people like US, a record is a piece of history. A moment in time.
Most people don't get it.

What if it's a harder edge and busy like Cosmogramma
w/ Thundercat all over it? Would you like that more?

Is there a specific sound you'd like to see him strive for?

Were you the guy on here who thought Cosmogramma
was the greatest thing since sliced bread? No shots...
Just asking. I know somebody on here thought it was the
future of electronic music (SO DID I) then blasted him when he put
out pattern and grid world EP.

I love UTQC and CosmoG. I hope this album is a little bit
rougher around the edges and coloring outside the lines more.
UTQC has a real clean sound. I appreciate it because it was
different for him. We were used to a wall of sound calibrated
just right that it wasn't overbearing and just straight up NOT WORKING.

I hope You're Dead flirts with that again.
Push it to the limit to where it almost feels like
its all about to fall apart, but then it just sits there
in this wonderful groove, running on all cylinders.

no. I let artist do them, and I voice my opinion on its quality on here or other online places

nope. I think that was All_Stah. does he even post here anymore. I love Cosmogramma. it's a classic to me, just like Los Angeles was. I never heard the Pattern=Grid EP. UTQC was too meandering and "pretty" IMO

>I love UTQC and CosmoG. I hope this album is a little bit

true

I appreciate it because it was

okay. I wouldn't call Lotus' efforts wall of sound. maybe collage of sounds. El-P is more wall of sound IMO

I wouldn't mind that either. but as some one said above, I wouldn't mind more "beat-tapey" shit either

W/o Lotus and his peers Dibiase, Samiyam, Black Monk, Ras G among others taking Dilla, Lib, Dadelous, and Perfuse lessons and making them their own thing. Sample and loops chopped to pieces and burried under frenetic or white noise, a faster bpm (to some extant) and harder (or better mixed) drums

In other words Los Angeles was the next logical step for beat tape shit IMO

i tried to choose but, i just can't. dude can do no wrong either
way in my book.

I appreciate his quote on it being about the afterlife and that could make sense. But I'm not really feeling the artwork if that's the case though, and it seems like a slight rip off the Laurel Halo art stylistically (I know that's a broad stroke with the japanese style but meh).

I'm officially hype.

but i have faith in steven lotus to form something cohesive and focused. here's to hoping this album is good. that art is killer and the guests seem to be at the very least interesting and most likely able to make meaningful contributions to the project

This is the Brainfeeder collective jazz album
he was talking about. I'm sure he's still
got some other stuff with Herbie and it may see
the light of day, but a lot of what was going on
with that had to have morphed into a FlyLo solo record.

The 10 second clips and the quotes about it's
just the beginning sound like him saying
making these little beats that ya'll like was cool
but I'm about to take my label and my music
and go elsewhere with it.
Time for me to reinvent the FlyLo sound.
And in my opinion, maybe even the label
if artists he fucks with say
Oh shit, he just jumped to another level, I gotta catch up.

Officially HYPE.

i dont really wanna hear rappers on a fly lo album

nowadays i'm more exited to hear some new captain murphy than flylo. *shrug*

"Kendrick Lamar is one of the guests on Flying Lotus' new album You're Dead!. In a forthcoming interview with Pitchfork, Flying Lotus revealed that Kendrick has also recorded verses over several tracks he had previously set aside for his own Captain Murphy album.
"...We've been working on stuff together," he said. "I went on tour and he recorded to a bunch of my songs. I don't know if he's gonna use them or not, but he recorded a bunch of stuff, which is why there's no Captain Murphy album out yet. He took all my beats!"
When asked if he was just waiting to see which songs Kendrick uses and which ones he doesn't use, he responded, "Yeah! At this point, I don't even know! But he took, like, 12, 13 of my tracks, man. I think he recorded all of them, too. I just don't know if they're ever gonna see the light of day."
A second Kendrick feature was also supposed to make it on You're Dead!, but had to be removed for "political reasons," Flying Lotus said. Update: He clarified on Twitter that "it's all love":

End Swipe

FlyLo was CONSTANTLY tweeting at Kendrick saying how much he wanted to work with him, which Kendrick must've never got wind of. Glad to see it finally happening.

just a huge fan. but i'd listen to the albums in chronological order

Los Angeles
Cosmogramma
Until the Quiet Comes

and then check out his EP's, probably the 1983 and Reset are good ones to check out.

And then of course the Captain Murphy to hear how dude raps.

Cosmograma is his best album so ill recommend saving the best for last


so ill say start at Los Angeles

then until the quiet comes

and then Cosmograma

1983 was dope too but it was his 1st album
and you can tell where he was going
he just wasn't quite to that place yet

dude is incredible

Then LA,Cosmogramma.....then Until The Quiet Comes.

That way you see the progression musically.

all 3 LA EP's

consider this a warning

Kendrick and FlyLo is a MF'n problem!

off the heels of FlyLo's set at the FYF

he played Never Catch Me and the Snoop jawn*

I was blown AWAY!

it was everything

the opening and ending of the song were all things FlyLo

with the beat reaching a steady vibe for Kendrick's verses in the middle

if what has been reported is true

that Kendrick took all of FlyLo's beats for his next album

WATCH THE F OUT!

he's coming for that Yeezus spot!

*he lost me toward the end of his set with the Captain Murphy thang

he's a competent MC

but I feel like that is something he should have been doing from the gate

if he was going to do it all

I prefer my FlyLo without him rapping

but the tracklist only has 2 appearances for Captain Murphy

so maybe it will lend a good change of pace

but 20 min. of him on the mic was too much

his stage show was incredible though

Days like this I miss Sha Mecca

regardless of opinions regarding 'Ye

I actually respect his body of work, and his willingness to TRY different things...

...and that was what I was alluding to with Kendrick working with FlyLo

coming off of the success with GKMC

the easy route would be to get the hottest producers in the game

make an easily digestable follow up

etc...

but from what I heard...

...alot of people AREN'T going to like it

it was an incredible piece of music.

but, as you can imagine with a FlyLo project, it will be too much for some of the fans from his previous works

he has an audience now

and it sounds like he's more inclined to challenge his audience

and himself

instead of just cashing in on his recent success and taking the easy route

that's what I meant.

now, if KL's follow up is full of FlyLo tracks, as has been mentioned

AND it sells

yeah, I think he is literally going to take 'Ye's spot

as the biggest artist in hip-hop

if the follow up sounds like I think it will

AND moves units

the Watch The Throne era will be officially over.

---------------------------------------------------------------

If you can't understand it without an explanation

you can't understand it with an explanation

but I just think Yeezus was a lazy album that was released under the guise of "trying something new".
I actually appreciate when artists do something new and creative... love it, actually.
I just do not think that's what Yeezus was.

Of course we will just have to agree to disagree there, but with your belief that it was brilliant,
I see what you're saying.

Def something have to listen to at once, only 2 or 3 songs
you can single out and play out of order.

Def a 40 minute journey, highs and lows, twists and turns.
Intense. I can see why he said it started out as album
of just hard jazz breaks.

Was worried about the rap features but they don't stick out
like a sore thumb and if the Captain Murphy character is
utilized like it was here, I'd be excited for the direction
that album would be going in.

FlyLo is maybe my fav artist so I'm probably biased,
but this is a FANTASTIC album. The instrumental album
will be a fun listen for those that don't like the vocals.

Need some more time with it to realize all the detail.

Can anyone point me in the direction of an artist, group, band
making similar music today?

What albums in the past would you guys compare this to?
I'd say:

Soft Machine - Thirds
Herbie Hancock - Sextant

to name a few come to mind.

I think the leap hes made on this album is the biggest of his career. He's gone so far into Prog sounds with the guitar stuff on here, and Thundercat is just destroying the bass game as far as I'm concerned.

If he's got a contemporary, I need to know about them. Just the idea that Snoop Dogg is on album, that also has a track like "Moment of Hesitation" is fantastic.

Short is probably a strength... any over 45 is running the risk of people losing attention, I mean its pretty dense - but incredible.

...or at least some late 60's/early 70's ones like "inner mounting flame", "birds of fire", "weather report", "in a silent way", "head hunters" (maybe?), "return to forever", etc.

(i've not heard "you're dead!" in its entirety but everything i've read about it seems to indicate that it's a modern jazz fusion album)

and that ish was only 4 songs

imagine today's listeners getting a 4 song album

but

and you knew there'd be a but

well actually there are a few

the biggest for me has been my biggest complaint about lo throughout - inconsistent mixing. i'm thinking tde laid their hand on the kendrick track because it's the clearest out of the bunch. but it's painful for me to hear all these amazing ideas reduced by shitty mixes.

biggest one for me is bruner's drums. whether recorded or sampled they all sound like shit recorded in his bedroom with a pillow in the kick drum. they could sound so much better and then fit so much better in the mix.

kendricks verse is cool but i coulda done without the snoop and murphy vocals.

if i hear thundercat do that same run again i'm going to poke somebodies eyes out. don't get me wrong it's dope, but he over uses it.

that said he should practically get co credits on this cause he put in work.

but they both suffer (probably just to me) from the same issue around their signatures, and because of the way the album is they stand out so much. lo's timing changes on the hats is just so predictable these days. and because they aren't going anywhere different it just stands out.

these things in essence standout as solos which would be interesting except all of the other texture elements are really holding it together and almost outshine the flourishes.

there's some duds in the middle.

i don't think i'll ever hear edgy music from either one of them, which is probably my biggest problem as a listener not being willing to let that go as the edge is what drew me to them both.

all of that said (and i'll probably say more later) it's a great body of compositions and well deserving of whatever praise it gets.
