    Probably best heard prior to harbouring any pre-conceptions regarding the album being numerous in tracks with a short time span, and other hyperbole. I found this work comes across as an occasionally frenetic, improvisational, sometime faux freeform, yet a tightly wound, well produced musical experience that is best enjoyed maybe when one is in freeform mode themselves.
    Cosmogramma at times seamlessly straddles a bunch of genres with apparent ease that enhances the albums intruige, yet othertimes seems to miss perhaps imagined oportunities to develop some of these tunes further.
    If you've previously enjoyed Flying Lotus' output then this release demands listening more than one time, as there is no question of the talent and creativity of this artist as evidenced by this and his previous work. However to me this release comes across as more a creative explosion that has some great elements and impressive range at times, yet overall lacks that intangible organic cohesion that could have made it a classic in my eyes.

      Wow, okay where do i start?

      Flying lotus has always been a huge influenced of mine, but i have to say that this album just takes everything to the next level. This albums just sounds crisp and warm to the ears. One of the reasons i have so much respect for this man is how unique his sound is. You can tell many unique styles influenced this album. He has done an amazing job blending different styles to make this album just pop. Alot of the album sounds like it was produced more like a hip-hop record, but the music itself bounces around from IDM/electronic sounds to free form jazz style feel. Also when i say IDM, im not talking like autechre and v snares stuff at all of course. He seems to use a lot of old school sounds, It almost sounds like he is using a Korg Ms-2000(Even though its a newer synth, you get the point) or something like that for the synth and bass sounds.

      Any way, go buy this now. I typically dont buy music, but i bought this on vinyl because both Fly-lo and this album are the shit.
