Flying Lotus - Cosmogramma

this second leak is epic. authenticity i am not sure of, but it's hard not to believe this is flying lotus with how the music is structured.

wait how does the rest of the album compare to the 4 tracks that were officially released?

the tracks do line up with their live show counterparts. apparently someone says a couple tracks are named incorrectly and the order is all out of place, but it is all here. not sure why the ripper botched it so badly. gonna give this a go at work tomorrow, i think i'll prob get the vinyl.

oh man nose art through zodiac shit is so good

wow it's really misnamed and all over the place, but this is the real shit.

I'll wait for a cleaner leak or the real thing. I hate wrong tracklisting ugh

the tracklisting goes in the right order, if there are mis-named songs, i have no idea. there are also 2 tracks at the end, quakes and photo shoot?

so far, it def sounds pretty cool, nothing mindblowing. most of the tracks are 2 minutes or less and the whole thing is around 40 minutes, so it feels super short.

Just have to wait to buy the damn thing, it's going to be great, no doubt. I personally think around 45 minutes is the perfect length for an album, it's what I shoot for with my own...

He did play a couple new and unreleased tracks on Gilles Peterson show (also mentioned Thundercat/Stephen something or other playing bass and that he was helping him with his album whatever that means (production?)

good stuff. most songs are short and sweet, and yeah Nose Art is an instant dance favorite.

Around 2 minutes huh? I don't mind short tracks but sometimes it's annoying when they're all that short.

And I agree that 45 minutes is about the perfect length for an album. Though I prefer them being slightly longer than slightly shorter (like 40 minutes if that's the case here). Really it all depends on the content and how it flows, though. So we'll see. 80 minutes of 2-minute songs would definitely be pretty tiring.

3:02

2:28

total: 42:17

im going to buy this when it comes out for sure. i like it and i think that packaging entices me enough to warrant it.

Those are wrong track lengths.

Yeah, like for example, Computer Face and that Thom Yorke track are fused together

but the running time is right, I believe, and the other tracks seem to be chopped correctly, maybe mistagged though.

there are definitely awkward pauses in some of these. i preordered so i probably should just delete these.

also, the people who are digging this should def check out the new free the robots. very very similar stuff.

So much stress associated with leaks, lol. Glad I don't bother!

yea seriously. but why? how hard is it? always something wrong, be it quality, track names, etc. so funny. oh well, hopefully people buy it

I'll probably buy it once I get my funds together

but yeah, I'll delete the leak, it seems too messed up

And yet it's pressed on two pieces of Vinyl. I don't bother with leaks so can't judge its authenticity, but I'd expect the genuine article to be longer than ~40mins. However, having said that, Clark's Body Riddle is ~42mins long and comes on 2xLP, so it isn't beyond the realms of possibility that this leak is (reasonably) genuine. Any ideas as to why a record of this length would be pressed on two pieces? Higher quality? Artistic choice to split it into four parts?

I agree, what ever happened to the event of opening that new album, listening and having it just be a surprise? These days I'll download things provided by the label or streamed, but in most cases, especially from an artist of this caliber, I really don't have to be the first one to listen to the whole thing and tell everyone how good or bad it is. You know what you're getting more or less, just wait for it- makes getting the physical object that much more special imo.

words of wisdom TGK.

that being said, I couldn't wait and I nabbed it. holy fuck is it great. well worth the anticipation.

yes. definitely diggin this

My sentiments exactly. I love the anticipation of new releases. Plus it makes me appreciate them more than an instant online download.

Infuckingdeed , my son's .

I'm gonna try to hold out for this one since I pre-ordered it. I was planning to do the same for Oversteps, but I listened to the leak the same night it was released.... I'm weak... and it was Autechre :(

this album is a revelation for me. glorious. glory is the word. thank you flylo.
