  • 8-bit fireworks XD

  • How you gonna blow off 1983?!

  • hmmm, its gotte be either '1983' or 'Galaxy In Jankai'

  • god i fucking hate clicking on a video expecting to hear a song and finding some faggot nobody rambling about his useless opinion

  • Comment removed

  • @timidthoughts ahah i get it...

  • @timidthoughts Could say the same about you though right?

  • Comment removed

  • Comment removed

  • @impatientp My was response was to @omgpuppies0707 and not the needle drop ; ) jymiurine got it! There is a difference between exploting a hypocrite and stating ones opinion if you genuinely believed i was stating my opinion thats a shame.

  • @ChiefGuideMaster right... seems like a pointless misunderstanding, forget i said anything

  • @omgpuppies0707 it says review in the title

  • 420 videosssss no more no less :P

  • This EP sends me into a colorful dimension where strange creatures turn little knobs and time has no meaning.

  • 6 dilla fanboys didn't like the comparison

  • The Song Physics for Everyone! was the best. Just saying<3

  • i'm not a huge fan of LA, very samey, anyone agree?

  • @fuckamericanidiot

    I happen to not agree

  • @LopatoBeats fair enough

    

  • @fuckamericanidiot don't agree either. los angeles i think is an incredibly well put together album. it's coherent and directed, not samey

  • @rhymeswithgabriel ok, i still think it's samey, all the same tempo too

  • @fuckamericanidiot what do you mean by "samey"? every song sounds the same to you? they're all pretty different. would you describe a song like "music for 18 musicians" as samey too?

  • @rhymeswithgabriel what do you want from me? the first few times i heard it i loved it then i heard it with a lot of bass and they ran into each other, and yes, they mostly sound the same to me. cosmogramma and 1983 i like though

  • you are the fucking worst

  • hipsters

  • Hells yeah Threadless shirt.

  • ANTHONY!

  • its Jurassic notion/m theory ACTUALLY!!!!!

  • AHHHH! My FACE. Its off...

  • - Download his new mixtape "IIOIO." Its awesome.

    - He just came out with a 9track EP called "Cosmogramma Alt Takes" which has remixes, alternate versions, and extra stuff that didnt make the album.

    - Nose Art, Recoiled, Sexslaveship, Vegas Collie, and I Dont Like You Anymore are my favorites.

    - I listen to Los Angeles and the 3 LA EPs together.

  • @jascrystalspike IIOIO isnt official bro

  • I have the flylo discography. Hit me up if anyone wants it. Created it myself.

  • flying lotus is jazzzz

  • YESTERDAY IS HERE.

  • check out my pattern grid world custom shoes on my channel

  • @MrRNGTN I did, I liked it, how much would I have to pay for a pair of custom shoes?

  • @SickeninglyILL dyou live in the uk? , comment on my channel instead of this video :)

  • Between Parisian Gold Fish, GNG BNG, Melt!, Camera Day, or Do the Astral Plane

  • favorite flylo song is definitely 1983

  • Good review. You mention that those unfamiliar with Flylo should check out Los Angeles, but I would have to disagree. I think they should start with his first LP: 1983. None of his albums are necessarily "better" than any other one, but I think that in order to understand his newer stuff a person needs to hear his progression from the start. It would be the equivalent of starting a movie from the beginning as opposed to jumping in half-way through.

  • ur effects sucks, ur review sucks, u kinda suck.

  • @thinktankful troll much?

  • GNG BNG, Amongman, Ab-original, Endless White, Zodiac Shit, Sex Slave Ship, Arkestry, Camel

    just a few, I love almost all of his tracks though

  • computer face/pure being, fall in love, GNG/BNG

  • I can't believe you would rate this album higher than Teebs' "Ardour." This music is embarrassing to the down-tempo beat music Flylo helped create. It seems like he's selling out to the crappy alternative music, just to get the approval of the Thom Yorke electro-hipsters. Save yourself the time and go listen to Flylo's "Los Angeles" instead.

  • @phadamblab You speak of these "Thom Yorke electro-hipsters" yet come off as an arrogant asshole yourself. You have self-imposed delusional ideas about what Flying Lotus is supposed to be; A selfish idea that he's only supposed to make down-tempo beat music, the kind that YOU prefer. I hate to break it to you but that's called the progression of an artist. He's not selling out to anyone, he's making the music that HE wants to create, not catering to your specific tastes.

  • @JungleMoth Most importantly, let me start off by saying that I used no expletives in my comment, nor did I single anyone out (besides possibly Thom Yorke). So unless you are Thom Yorke, or are unnecessarily offended because you are in the "electro-hipster" demographic I spoke of, then there is really no need to retort by calling me an "arrogant asshole." A little harsh, don't you think? Second, I can see from your comments that you recommend listening to Flylo's "1983" album as well as...

  • @JungleMoth "Los Angeles" album, and I can safely assume because of this that you've been following Flylo's work. What I mean by "selling out" is that he has seemingly degenerated into a genre that has already been exhausted for the last five years; extremely on-beat, high tempo, electronic music that appeals to both ravers and fans of Thom Yorke. While it is a valid genre in it's own right, I would have to argue that the progression from "1983" to the "Reset - EP" and even to "Los Angeles" was

  • @JungleMoth MUCH more significant than his movement to "Cosmogramma" and especially this EP. In fact, I would argue that his work on these last two works was more of a digression than anything. He was moving more forward and forward in a genre that he had himself created, exploring the mix of organic sounds with antisymmetric tempos and creative samples. Then he went back to completely simple electronic alternative. Which is understandable. If he wants to get more rave gigs, and ultimately make

  • @JungleMoth more cash, then this was the right route to follow. In addition, if he wants to actually sell his albums (and not just have them downloaded by hip-hop heads), then he should make music that earns the Thom Yorke stamp of approval; I'm sure the Radiohead demographic is much more apt to actually pay for their music (which is completely admirable). The point is, it's not just what I prefer, it is what he had created and was expanding on, and it was music no one had truly heard yet.

  • @JungleMoth Then he went backwards just to pick up more fans. I am truly sorry if I offended you personally with my aggravation, I just think it's sort of sad when a weak EP like this is given a higher rating by someone I trust than the work of Teebs, which I feel is much more creative, unique, and innovative (though not COMPLETELY original, I understand). I also don't feel that an artist should cater to my specific tastes, you're right. But would you not say that him making digressive

  • @JungleMoth else makes consistently amazing and ingenious. Stevie Wonder is my personal musical hero, but "I Just Called To Say I Love You" is one of the crappiest songs of all time. The two opinions can effortlessly coexist. In essence, just because I don't want to blindly (or rather, "deafly") accept anything an artist puts out as "great" doesn't make me an "arrogant asshole," it just means that yes, I do have specific tastes. But I'd rather had specific tastes than no taste for myself at all.

  • @JungleMoth Just to recap, I am not implying that you have no taste. Someone who recommends "1983" and "Los Angeles" to others has my musical respect. Sorry for the disagreement, and I'm sorry you took such offense to my comment

  • @JungleMoth I think I'm missing a comment somewhere in there haha. Oh well, I'm pretty sure my point is clear.

  • @phadamblab My apologies, I wasn't trying to imply that you were an arrogant asshole, just that your comment had come off that way. I understand entirely what you are saying, but in the end these are your perceptions of Flying Lotus' work. I would highly suggest typing in "Flying Lotus interview" and watching the second and third videos. He specifically discusses why he made certain shifts in his music, and judging from what he says I highly doubt he did it just to get rave gigs.

  • Satelliiiitteeee is definetly his most accomplished and mature track, although not quite his best, i think that would be a throw up between "Breathe Something/Stellar Star", "RobertaFlack" or "Massage Situation".

  • best track?

    it's a secret, camel, intro/a cosmic drama, tea leaf dancers.. too many !

  • Galaxy In Jankai.

    it's the epitimy of the flylo sound we all know and love:)

  • CAMEL

  • Oh shit! FLYING LOTUS FEATURES A FEMALE MC, CORJAI ON PAPER CRANE GANG REMIX!!!! CHECK IT OUT NOW, GO TO CORJAI PAGE!

  • *Jurassic Notion / M Theory

  • i like your reviews not only b/c you are an actual fan and talk from that perspective, but because you post so many that it's a great way to just see new music that's being released so i can explore for myself

  • Torn between Sangria Spin Cycles, Aunties Lock and Massage Situation.

    Anyone here heard of Little People? If you like flylo go check Mickey Mouse Operation (album).

  • @jordan32none  Woah dude i listen to little people. Sick shit brahhhh.

  • Favourite FlyLo song? It's GNG BNG for me. And about Pattern+Grid World... I don't like it very much.

  • I am in love with Massage Situation!

  • REVIEW HEAVY HEAVY LOW LOW'S HOSPITAL BOMBER

  • WOOT, GOT THIS TODAY!!!!!one of my favourites all year!!!

    argh i just can't say i have a fav flylo song, its just impossible

    but i do think that camera day on pattern (track 6) is one of my absolutely loved ones, also camel, GNG BNG and parasian goldfish on LA and tracks 1, 2, 9, 10 and 11 on cosmogramma

    and may i just say that the video for 'MmmHmm' (the single that features thundercat) is one of the greatest videos of all time for me personally, well, it ties with aphex twin windowlicker.....

  • you should review more hip-hop! Try "The Q4 - Sound Surroundings" aside from "Cosmogramma" and "Emancipator - Safe in the Steep Cliffs" it's probably one of my favorites this year.

  • @Sektion9 Hell yeah I forgot to mention that one - Aunties lock/infinitum is one of the best, I love how the it has the same tune Big Ben uses when it strikes on the hour. Must have something to do with the infinitum thing - time being infinite and all? Yeah I wish that track was longer :D

  • Easily Breath . Something / Stellar Star, sounds like something you could only expect from Dave Tipper, this EP makes me wonder if Flying Lotus, like many a great musician has done too many drugs, the names of the songs and their general feel are almost manic.. Anyone feeling this too?

  • Fave FlyLo track?

    Probably GNG BNG + Spicy Sammich. Which are actually quite similar actually...

    And Cosmogramma does not suck! :P On the first listen I thought it was crap but once it sinks in its amazing. Could probably be condensed a bit thought ot just clock catcher, nose art, zodiac shit, computer face//pure being, ...and the world laughs, do the astral plane, table tennis and galaxy in janaki

  • @Dgonra I'd have to say Auntie's Lock/Infinitum (feat. Laura Darlington). Such a unique and soothing piece of music. I can listen to it on repeat for hours.

  • Comment removed

  • I'm a huuuuge FlyLo fan, but this EP is the most underwhelming Warp release I've heard in a long time. I loved the first two tracks and Cosmogramma is one of my favorites of the year, but the majority of this release is just too sketchy--it's very apparent why these tracks weren't released on an album, to be honest. I don't know, it feels pretty amateur.

  • good rating man.

  • Thank you for reviewing this album.

  • Anthony, I'm glad you reviewed this one man cause I love flylo!!! I thought you might not since it's just an EP. I found out about it on Wikipedia of all places. I was just sort of surfin the wiki on the day it came out and saw, "Oh flylo has a new EP out, shit how'd I miss that. When did it come out? oh today." Downloaded that shit immediately. Also, did anyone pick up almost a Crystal Castle vibe from "Kill your co-workers"? Must be the 8-bit.

  • Good 2 know. Another wicked review Anthony. Will be picking this up after work as I am a HUUUUGE Flylo/Brainfeeder/Warp fanatic.

  • Ant, where do you get your bombastic t-shirts?

  • @66420192 I think that t-shirt is from Threadless . 

  • pitchfork says all of the songs are new off this EP

  • Wasn't doing it for me either

  • I just couldn't get into this...

  • Massage Situation and Do The Astral Plane are my Jams!!!

  • @theneedledrop of course i will. i was definitely kidding. good review sir. i haven't listened to it but knowing flylo, its probably great. also, you should definitely review the Japandroids No Singles comp. I'll put it in the modbox right now.

  • Man I totally got to pick this up.

  • ROBOTUSSIN its amazing he made little wayne sound good!!

  • fave FlyLo? Um probs Breathe . Something/Stellar Star or GNG BNG.

    Also I didn't get Cosmogramma either, it's nice but not as gasm worthy as people are sayin'.

  • The title LIED. This is an EP review and you list it as an ALBUM REVIEW. C'MON MAN!

  • @Nick77076 Will you be alright?

  • @Nick77076 it still is an album ep/lp...who gives a shit, as long as he does reviews of good new music.

  • I saw you listening to this last night and was all "WHAT IS THIS?!". Then my friends told me there was a new flylo today. And then I saw this in my subscriptions. SMALL WORLD EH?

  • Favorite Fly Lo song, out of what I've listened through(Los Angeles and Cosmogramma) is probably Intro/A Cosmic Drama. Love it.

    Keep up the good work, Fantano, love the reviews.

  • you had a bid of a spoonerism there. it's "Jurassic Notion/ M Theory". that's ok i get the title mixed up too.

    but yeah i certainly like Pattern+Grid World. it very sporadic, very colourful. 8/10.

  • I did not like it at all

  • I don't even know who this band is but I enjoyed the review anyway.

  • YES. I subb'd cause u review great artists like him!

    I'm curious to see your take on Bonobo since I hold him and his music in high regard like Flying Lotus.

  • I love the owl shirt so much

  • SICK FUCKING OWL SHIRT BRO

  • @alex93metallica i know, man. it's an owl holding a boombox!

  • @theneedledrop Threadless ftw

  • Kill Your Co-Workers is definitely the best track. Good call.

  • I really hope this is where Hip Hop is headed. I would love to hear rapping over the beats from Pattern + Grid World EP.

  • change the idol you misinformant twerp! its an EP REVIEW GAHHH I was so thrown offfff

  • Sounds kinda like he used the iPhone app "Bebot" on several tracks. Just me?

  • Another great review! Thank you!

  • hey anthony, what kinda shirt is that

  • If you don't know who Flying Lotus is, you are fucking slipping

    Flying Lotus is the fucking shit. If you don't like Cosmogramma, you should check out LA or 1983

  • its hard to pick a favorite flying lotus song as theyre all so short and usually kind of meld together.. ive never really payed attention to the track names either.

  • ANTHONY! C'mon dude. You review Flying Lotus EP and you dont review The Tallest Man on Earth' EP? wtf?

  • @MultiFortran The year isn't over. Calm down, bro.

  • yay. something I like!

  • Tea Leaf Dancers, Recoiled, RobertaFlack, and Table Tennis

  • This is a decent ep. I don't really associated with the Cosmogramma sound though, more like his earlier stuff imo.

    Fav FlyLo song = GNG BNG

  • yeah great tshirt! FY - LA RULES!!!

  • i didn't say this before, but thanks for reviewing this.

  • Anthony - Epic Owl T-Shirt

  • anthony, a few things. 1. favorite flylo songs have to be: camel, gng bng, do the astral plane, massage situation, and tea leaf dancers. 2. how is this like dilla donuts? 3. have you ever thought about talking about dilla donuts or anything else that is your favorite from before you were reviewing? just taking 5 records at a time from your collection and talking about them and not necessarily reviewing them. it could be a new weekly/monthly segment.

  • @stewyjmu I didn't say it's like Donuts. I said it's as interesting to listen to. "Classic" or favorite album reviews are coming in the future, fo sho.

  • @theneedledrop excited about the classic/favorite albums. i disagree with your donuts comment though just because i don't think many things are as interesting to listen to as donuts period. i liked grid+pattern world, but it was more like cosmagramma lite than anything. just my opinion (and just yours too). have you listened to flylo's Reset EP?

  • @theneedledrop do it. I'd love to see what are your favourite records of all time.

  • @stewyjmu I think he did a Donuts review on his other channel, the one where people donate and he reviews what they want.

  • I think the sentence "It's just an EP" is going to become more and more illogical in the coming years (months?). There is less a reason to put out full albums at a time when less people are actually buying these objects.

    FlyLo could easily release a slow stream of excellent songs, say 15 minutes worth of music every few months, and I would lap it all up, whatever form it comes in.

  • @xTheOxx but the album is an artform in itself. I don't think albums are ever going to become irrelevant or play second fiddle to the EP. Its about the holistic experience. Sometimes a musician wants to paint a big picture and an EP is just too small a canvas to work on.

  • @Jerdna3

    Totally agree. I didn't mean to dismiss the album, I only meant that EPs will soon become as legitimate an output method and won't be referred to as "just an EP". That's just my vision of the near future.

  • Favourite track has to be 'TIME VAMPIRES', loving the EP in general.

  • Astroplane

  • What does first mean?

  • Comment removed

  • he means he got the first comment post, he is a loser that didnt have anything important to say but still felt the urge to speak.

  • FIRST - BEFORE THE VIDEO IS EVEN PROCESSED! lol, i suck.
