flying lotus - table tennis (ft. laura darlington)

[OneQuest1]

This has been in my head for a week. I think I died and went to heaven,

[ccole742]

his music is so intense. it definitely touches the emotions.

[duhjuce]

sounds like pong balls in the background lol

[disDoC53]

@duhjuce that's why it's called table tennis lol

[briaweea02]

Why did I just notice that Sango sampled this? o.O

[2142543]

PING PONG TALKIN BLUES 2 IS NOW UPLOADED TO YOUTUBE.....THANKS....DAN

[jozue0710]

dream

[kingdomkid757]

This turned a bad week into a great weekend. So soothing and beautifully done with passion and technique. Love this guy. Raw cartoons was the start of something special.

[mariojr]

Took me some days, but I finally found it. Adult Swim as well.

[DJAveryTv]

Adult Swim sent me!

[chellesEVOL]

wow.. an adult swim bump brought me here :P .. i always loved flylo but i hadn't gotten anything new since "LA." this is definitely my new favorite but i still love "Roberta Flack"

[36hook36]

@chellesEVOL Right i love Roberta Flack makes me think of a beautiful woman returning home from a long cross country Road trip :D

[sergio311]

Thumbs up for the Acoustic Guitar Tabs !

we can do it !

first note is

e-11

[Tsubaki11001]

u kno..ive noticed...NOBODY ever remixes flylo's muzik...not Daedelus, tokimonsta, rustie, nobody.....and its beacuse what the hell is there to remix? its already dope..and even if u tried, when u get the link to his song after copyright permission and youll look at it and be like wtf!? Its too complex! i cant remix this!...all im saying is that if a guy can make a fucking dope ass song using the sound of ppl playing ping pong thats when u kno hes a beast =3 go flylo

[NostalgicAlien]

@Tsubaki11001 Actually, Nosaj Thing did remix Flylo's "Camel"

[Tsubaki11001]

@NostalgicAlien

U mean at one of his concerts right?...well that was before flo lo was really that popular =3

[nightzeroAX]

@Tsubaki11001 NOBODY? Do some research. Ill give you a hint 1X3 2X3 3X3.

[Tsubaki11001]

@nightzeroAX

i kbow who ur talking about =/ nosaj thing right? well that was wayy before fly lo was as famous and good as he is now

[feldsliscia]

If you play any FlyLo song backwards it sounds just like another FlyLo song.

[Ulmdorgr]

Shoulda left out the white noise bursts. It's abrasive and makes the tone of the tune just confusing. If the focus is on chillout, it's not the best.

[andanele]

@Ulmdorgr Hmm. Agreed. 

[Jannto]

@Ulmdorgr It's art

[Ulmdorgr]

@Jannto Yup. Good one time listen, for sure.

[jayranig]

[jayranig]

THIS IS THE SHIT BEAT GOES SO HARD

[ponchoyo]

this song is fucken amazing and so are the rest. wowwww

[spaz01112]

ping pong

[TheSammichDude]

First time I heard this song was coming back from a commercial break on [adult swim] fell in love with the ten seconds I did hear of it. Flying Lotus creates such wonderful music.

[TheSammichDude]

The music created by Flying Lotus is nothing short of sublime. Such a genius.

[PolarBearBlue]

@HarderThanPearlite Cosmogramma has carried me through so many quizzes/midterm/final study sessions for my Physics/Calculus/Intro to Aerospace classes that whenever I listen to the music it reminds me of engineering. But I still love it. The album is dope!

[LeoxSevered]

@PolarBearBlue ive been at work for 14 hours straight and I just put this on, and suddenly I feel much better.... :)

[kennybobo619]

the simple things in life are most satisfying id say

[HarderThanPearlite]

I'm studying for my physics midterm and this song came on a playlist. Playlist stopped, repeat started.

[djschoolcraftmusic]

"The force of your gravity; it defines my tendency."

I can't tell you how much I love that line, this track, and Flying Lotus.

[dandestructo]

I absolutely LOVE this track, I keep coming back to it again and again... can anyone advise me, is it available on CD?

I will add that without hearing it on Youtube I never would have known of Flying Lotus.

[TheCommanderEddy]

@dandestructo I thought I was the only one. I keep coming back to this song, I just can't stop listening to it.

[TheCommanderEddy]

the force of your gravity

it defines my tendency

velocity’s equal to

throwing myself with you

we have potential energy

motion between you and me

i’ll be your sounding board

just throw yourself toward

this energy that sings between

bounce off of me

[dosfader]

@TheCommanderEddy elasticity, elastic kinetic ,

[johnbozi]

hope u accept my video response man thanks for the song hey i love it

[CanadaGradeEh]

@arcticvultures Reso is great. Lots of nods to geek culture, but fucking SICK bass regardless. Skrillex is the go-to dub producer probably, if you haven't already heard of him. Also, check-out Noisia for DnB/heavier/faster electronics -- their album Split the Atom is a good place to start. Any style in particular you're looking for other than dub?

[Teknowledge93]

I NEED THE SHEET MUSIC/TABS FOR THE ACOUSTIC PART AT THE END lol

[johnbozi]

very cool art- I love both the music and of course I have lots of songs with table tennis in them too

[smokinblunts420666]

first time i heard flylo i went out and got as many albums as i could lol

[stud002]

cool song. mixing my favorite sport/hobby with my favorite type of music. Awesome! haha

[Stonefactor]

Pure fire!

[bbillyson]

and i am just expressing an opinion, so its okay to disagree, and i hope it doesnt offend anyone. i just feel that in a perfect world, music and business would have nothing to do with eachother, and everybody would be able to enjoy real authentic art whether they are rich or poor. also in a perfect world, fans would be able to thank the artists for their work if they felt compelled by it... this could be by either donating, going to their shows, sharing the music or spreading the word, etc.

[bbillyson]

@arcticvultures well im not trying to be rude either, and i dont know what you mean by "his good people list" but i will be happy to give you recommendations if that is what you want.. ive taken a time to really explore electronic music and i think i am fairly in touch with what is out there. but try to specify a little, or give me some details about what exactly you are looking for. i have recommendations coming out of my ass and it would be too much and too broad to just start throwing at you

[bbillyson]

@arcticvultures what is the point of that comment, are those your favorite artists? what the fuck man, nobody in the electronic music world even uses the world "electronica"... deadmau5 and tiesto are like the backstreet boys and brittney spears of electronic music. i used to listen to daft punk back in the 90's, cant really hate on them too much, but as a favorite artist in 2011? you need to stop giving in to mainstream hype and dig deeper my man. that list is just offensive (except for flylo)

[qwertyalienqwerty]

@arcticvultures Deadmau5? Really?

[giffordj106]

@arcticvultures tiesto? really?

[cazrethomas]

@bmurray1757 I tried going to the link but it didnt work 

[Couscous1985]

i downloaded the album and tomorrow i will go buy it asap...!!!

[illsoulskilzmusiq]

sickk check out my beats

[brianthebutterfly]

Laura Darlington is the wife of Alfred Darlington; commonly associated with the moniker Daedelus.

Check out their 'The Long Lost' project.

[TheSnoozeFox]

If you listen to this while really high walking home at like 1 in the morning strange things start to happen and i mean REALLY strange

[Dschaylizy]

he likes table tennis

[djschoolcraftmusic]

I'm a noob music producer and I've had music pirated from me. Ultimately I decided that $0.99 isn't worth a fraction as much as a fan.

Think of *famous* musicians out there, and think of all the money they make. But do they have real fans? Do they have people who appreciate them for their music, or just because they're whoever? We real music fans, we appreciate FlyLo for his insight, for his talent, for his emotions, for his music. Love & appreciation are worth more than all the $ in the world.

[technologickal1983]

@djschoolcraftmusic

Wow. All of what you said was deep. And I mean really deep.

[VaCulprit]

This track is too much...it gives me a funny feeling that n I cant help but smile

[ThaRealHipHop2008]

cruzin on Shrooms song

[protomanhasballs]

that's his mother's respirator on the beat. when you realize that, the emotion of this song expands tenfold.

[Nathalian989]

@protomanhasballs

How do you know that?

[protomanhasballs]

@Nathalian989 There was an interview Flylo gave around the time the record out when he was talking about his mother dying. While she was in the hospital, he sat there with her and recorded every single sound in the room. Flylo: "I never wanted to forget that space." The next track, "Galaxy in Janaki", is his dedicated to her. Janaki was a name Aunt Alice gave to his mother. I know it's a long shot, but that's definitely a respirator. Since the album is largely about her, I only assumed.

[Cloudkiller01]

@protomanhasballs It is? Source or link to that info?

[DeathShamans]

well add a womans voice and the boys in this band find some order... the boys in Brazil, Ecuador and Bolivia have been doing this music for 5 to 7 years... this california guy must have gone down there... the only thing i really love about the cd is this song, the artist who made the cd cover and the names of the songs, the music is continually filled with incessant noises that you are more irritating than pleasant.

[MSkillet]

A true artist would rather want as many people to enjoy his/her/their music as much as possible than squak about record sales

but then again we all need to pay the bills.

its all a matter of perspective

[rihannafallenstar]

album: bought.

Thanks for putting this up, man. Stumbled upon it on youtube & then bought it via amazon.

[DarkSlayerKi]

Theres no need to be sad. This is kinda like free promotion. This song might cause someone to buy the album, like me. I like hearing the album before I buy it. I made a terrible waste of 20 dollars one time (Incubus Make Yourself), and it kinda scared me from buying before trying.

[KomboKaze]

BUY THE FKING ALBUM!

[WildcardNovack]

this is much worthy of buying instead of downloading....a lot of work and emotion is put into each of song, u can feel it.

[UniVersAlOtakU]

After listening to this song, I bought the whole album. Very amazing stuff :3

[VaCulprit]

I means its all good that ppl upload n download...

buy the shit along the line

Itune much?

[skylinefolife]

I didn't buy his music... But I did spread his work around, & believe me, that's how it was done with cassette players, too. That was also "stealing"...

Now, it's digital. I support him by going to his shows :)

[teddybeartoe]

dang.....brain massage...

[DMoneyPipes]

@TyRYANasaurus I understand that people need to make money of the music they produce, but if it wasnt for youtube... I doubt I would have ever known who flylo is. So thank the people that introduced flyflo to me. AND I do plan on buying looooooots of his music. Nobody can make a living without advertising, and what better way to advertise than youtube?

[dipskateboogie]

fucking hell!! lmfao hahahaha!!!

[SeldomSleep]

Thee Biz

[noahyen]

I HATE A.S not putting the name of the song in its commerical bumps....took me 45mins to find this...

[Datathief100]

Been reading earlier comments about uploading music to YouTube. Maybe this isnt the case for every one but i ended up buying two FlyLo albums BECAUSE i saw them on here (Los Angeles and 1984). I'd never heard of the guy until i saw him on YouTube. Theres a flip side to every coin but in my (humble) opinion YouTube is free advertising for artists and if you like their music enough you'll end up buying it regardless.

[eraseragenda]

im so sad ppl dload ur music flylo. Here, let me upload it to youtube for u

[indexppeuc]

@eraseragenda Wrong. I didnt want to put it on YouTube but I thought I'd go ahead and do it anyway that's what the whole fuss is about. Nice spelling though

[Enigmadibs]

@indexppeuc I found out about Flying Lotus from this very youtube video. Cheers :)

[dandestructo]

@indexppeuc well, because you DID upload it I just bought the album Cosmogramma. What goes around comes around bro. It's all good.

[TheCommanderEddy]

@dandestructo Congratulations sir, you just replied to a 7 Month old comment.

[dandestructo]

@TheCommanderEddy That's the beauty of the internet, in many ways it's timless. But top marks for awareness. And thanks for your comment, even though I wasn't speaking to you.

[DJDesikari]

@eraseragenda Just buy the album and all will be well.....simple

[adbeglad]

if this wasnt uploaded i wouldnt have heard it and gone brought it. i need the mp3 on itunes to work sweet on my fukin iphone. so thanks peeps for bringing this magic to me x

[Datathief100]

@adbeglad Took the words right out of my mouth. Anyone who whinges about a bit of free advertising is three quarters crazy in my opinion. I'm starting to lose count of how many artists ive bought music from BECAUSE i heard them on here first.

[BoodaOfDoom]

this song got me the girl of my dreams

[Lockawannablu3z]

@BoodaOfDoom  now i'm curious.....

[vanloxlay]

this sux

[heymanjob]

this song on 5.1 digital surround sound makes me feel like im surrounded by forrest gump and other asian ping pong players while drifting in space

[faintmelody]

2:28 til the end is the most beautiful part of the song to me

[ramafia09]

@bmurray1757 damn dude. that was good. this may be the musical equivalent of blasphemy but i kind of liked it more than the original. just imo, if you gave it more of a bassy-er feel then i think it would be sheer gold.

[blockymock]

Holy shit. I hear the table tennis sounds in the background. lol.

[DeftFlow]

dope as usual

[ZeroesBH]

Laura Darlington Is Daedalus' wife. Juat figured that out.

[guiotdprvnc1]

well, this is for smoking some xtrañe cigarrets

[Aherron91]

Yes



[DJDesikari]

Everybody's albums are getting leaked this year. Cosmogramma & Thank Me Later apparently got leaked, I wouldn't be surprised if We Are LASERS got leaked just like Food & Liquor did 6 years ago. And this is my take on leaked albums, it's okay to download the leaked versions AS LONG AS YOU BUY THE ALBUM ONCE IT COMES OUT! Then at least the artists can make their money.

[DemonSamaJr]

This is the type of song you listen to while looking up at the gray sky when rain is pouring thinking about life.

[xSadFacex]

does the album have lyrics..?

cuz i really want htem for this song :[

[GuitarGuru757]

its so good!, i hope they got this on vinyl

[Dreal05starnation]

@GuitarGuru757 most likely

[kwin1984]

cre a tive

[thatdude54]

favorite one off the album so far.

[poopbacon]

i was chillin with flylo at an art show/ mini concert my cousin put on.

[Abel80114]

amazing !!

[MuzikJunkyAES]

This is truly one of those crawl-into-the-speakers moments! Peace.

[nightzeroAX]

Lets hope he doesnt stop making music. I wish people would of waiting a little while longer before this new album up.

[freddyfingerr]

table tennis sample...genius!

[010les]

sounds like something that couldv bein on 808&heartbreaks

a served a pingpong ball used a drumrow. are you fuckin kiddin me ?

this is real sickk

[Abel80114]

they play table tennis ??? :D:D amazing !!!

[Abel80114]

smoke fat as joint !!!!

[XxfriiDoMxX]

I love Lotus Music

[25nibo90]

love it

[TheFeelin89]

heartbreaking and beautiful.

[Sektion9]

This track is pure musical magic. Like being drowned in a sea of extra dimensional sounds.

[MirageR5]

I bought the album! This song is pretty unique. I've never heard a track with table tennis sounds... LOL

[Emeriac9]

im about to go see flying lotus at amoeba......can't wait ...

[Smoooorilisteeeee]

anyone understand the lyrics? :)

[dignun]

...very nice...flying lotus...daedelus...2 pree amazing beat makers...maybe some of the best out in the 21st century...sounds like the lead singer of stereolab...def sounds like samples from that group...ping pong sounds are dubstepish...overall, reminds me of an organic mutation of a burial track...cheers!

[dignun]

...flying lotus, daedelus...both in my opinion, nxt level beat makers...some of the best in the 21st century...so difficult to pin down and categorize...not even sure how i would begin to do it...i think laura darlington is the lead singer of stereolab...track seems like its def sampling old stereolab...love the juxtapo of all the samples...utlimately it almost resembles an organic kind of burial track...got the ping pong samples which def are a nod toward dubstep...pree fkn nice overrall...

[alphasold13r]

You know the deep inhale sound in this is his mother? So sad..

[SoulSurvivor34]

This song actually reminds me of Tea Leaf Dancers from his Reset ablum, of which I have more than 400 plays of.

[DZMPLZ]

flying should be pissed,..because if this I have bought it because this speaks quality and artwork so... he should be glad and feel blessed..and be pissed at suckers who are biting his style..... FlyLo keep up the fire!! you deserve producer of the year from 2008 , 2009 and 2010 !!

[bgairu]

i saw this album in japan two weeks ago, sample listened every track, and decided i had to cop.

[cleeisme]

buy the album and support him yo

[1anonymous12007]

@cleeisme help him sell out every show, artists don't eat off of album sales

[bbillyson]

@1anonymous12007 i think its true that album sales aren't what makes the most money for an artist, and i also agree that going to see him live is a great way to support him. but i want to throw my personal belief out there and say that an artist shouldn't be relying on music to "eat" or survive. that, in my opinion, is what has been killing music. you dont make music to make money, you make music to make music. it should come from your heart and be natural, rather than made as a product to sell.

[glg20decoy]

This whole is album is a work of beauty. I've been bumping it for some time now. It just bumps from front to end.

[mazayme]

i love that ping pong table sample....mad fresh

[JollyJunkie]

Tim Exile, that was the first thing i thougt when I heard this.

[Grin8]

Fuck it I already pre-ordered, I don't want youtube fuzzy compression bull shit anyways :D

[razedeezy]

flyng lotus is just.... out there

[johnqpublic2718]

I'm definitely still buying this. When does it drop?

[razedeezy]

@Tito124 right after they release the halo reach beta

i'm gonna blare this over xbox live

[Tito124]

@johnqpublic2718 3rd may!!

[Teknowledge93]

Its okay if you download it now i guess. . .ONLY IF YOU BUY THE DAMN RECORD TOO! ! ! ! I know how hard it is to resist flylo's shit lol

[schnardo88]

choose ur words better and maybe literal assumptions wont be made. and yea it is a good track.

[schnardo88]

if ud be sad sad why u put it up.....?

[indexppeuc]

@schnardo88 Fucking hell. It was a turn of phrase. I'm not as sad as youre all making out. Shut the fuck up and listen.

[PERSONIFICATIONOFYAY]

@indexppeuc Stop being rude to your viewers, fucktard!

[LeWeYfilms]

@indexppeuc doobas

[marketellica]

dont be sad, this is precisely how albums are promoted via the web. album leaks are crucial to the process. i've dl'd most of it and still plan to buy the whole album. so please, pretty please, stop fucking crying music noob.

[indexppeuc]

@marketellica Shush ya mush. I'll still buy it aswell. I felt sorry for Flying Lotus is all. He was pretty pissed off.

[dandestructo]

@indexppeuc With regards to the debate on uploads in the comments of this video, I'd just point out that if it wasn't for uploads such as these I never would of heard of Flying Lotus. Now, if I go into a music store there is a chance I will look to see if there is anything there. I'm sure that goes for a few of the other 51, 139 listeners.

It's all good. So don't worry, be happy.

[RickyJonhsoncolorado]

@marketellica it sounds logical. it's a honest marketing tool it seems.

[Dreal05starnation]

@RickyJonhsoncolorado lol flylo doin im he dont worry about marketing

[00smpl00]

why are you sad?

[indexppeuc]

@00smpl00 Because of the leak. I can't imagine how heartbreaking it is for an artist to see his album leaked.

[Colunga210]

@indexppeuc I think as an artist in this day and age, you have to accept that your album will leak. It goes through too many hands before hitting shelves. I would be sad if it leaked 6 months before release. But now, especially with most peopel haveing a bad quality leak, I think it serves as a hype generator. I haven't DL'd it yet (and would if I could) so these Youtube vids are great to hype me up about the album.

[indexppeuc]

@Colunga210 They are doing an amazing job of keeping it off file sharing websites. Real good job. But yeah now that you mention it, it does serve as a good promotional tool. Speaking of promotion tools, it wouldnt suprise me if artists do this purposely.

[a8fine1youngSchapT]

@indexppeuc Yeah a whole bunch of artists leak tracks intentionally to build hype, it seems like a pretty good idea to me.

[hayabusa53]

@indexppeuc Agreed. These local artists put alot of time and effort and dont make as much money as mainstream producers. Support local artists !Buy their stuff!

[p1kaduk3]

@indexppeuc Internet music is the new radio in my opinion.
