Flying Lotus - Until The Quiet Comes

  Quote

The recently announced Coachella lineup includes Flying Lotus, who just tweeted, "Going to present the new album at Coachella 2012." He performs on Saturday, April 14 and Saturday, April 21. The record is his follow up to 2010's BNM'd full-length Cosmogramma and Pattern + Grid World EP.

yay

oh yes. this man can do no wrong.

Did they really have to mention his last album got BNM'd?

I'll BNM anything that moves.

And this is sweet news. I love getting new albums in 2 year spans from people who rule.

can't wait :)

Great. Hoping for another epic space opera

I have no expectations for this album. Every major release from Flying Lotus has been not been similar to the last.

I just hope it'll be a double LP as he announced it on twitter months ago.

Exciting, exciting.

...so he can definitely do no wrong.

1983, raw cartoons, reset, los angeles, 1x3, 2x3, 3x3 have a certain continuity that is appealing. otherwise just a bit here or there. flying lotus has become disjointed, lacking cohesive identity

You are lacking cohesive identity.

Cosmogramma+Alt Takes was like taking the music FlyLo used to put out on LA+EPs to a way greater level, and Pattern+Grid World was a nice, rawer continuation of that kind of work. The track he put on the Ed Banger comp "Let The Children Techno" was a beautiful track, in the vein of Cosmogramma and friends.

You're allowed not to like his newest stuff but you can't say it doesn't have any identity nor character !

disjointed. he's still got decent, more recent tracs, but we're sticking with our statement. pattern + grid world curls teeth. we've nothing against ellison, we just like what we like and seem to listen less frequently to his newer thingys

I'll be hoping for a single album. Without fail, every double album contains filler.

I'd still be happy to hear a double, though. I wouldn't complain unless I didn't like some of it.

Cosmogramma should have been a double album, where each track lasted longer than a minute and the ideas were given room to breath.

Not interested unless it's refreshingly new and not the same old..

yea. even if it wasn't a double album it had potential to be a much bigger and better album. cosmogramma felt like sketches of an epic album.

One bitch says it better not be the same old... another bitch says his work disjointed and random? LOL

I'm pretty disappointed. I was in line online from the very first 1 second you were able to buy Coachella tickets, watched the standby screen tell me which passes were now sold out over the course of 3 hours. So lame. Would have flown down there for free, road tripped with some Cali friends and stayed at a really nice house for a 20 dollar tip. Best trip of my life is no more. If my girlfriend didn't want to go. I might have spent 600 hundred on a pass from Ebay... but I'm almost too annoyed to think about it.

As it is, Cosmogramma shits all over most recent electronic music and runs victory laps around it with style and finesse. In my not-so-humble opinion. He's still a relatively new artist, too. So there's that.

1983 is an assortment of random ideas with a bit of Hip Hop in it. Los Angeles doesn't have a similar sound to 1983. Cosmogramma also sounds completely different. Sometime after the release of Cosmogramma Flying Lotus gained some really obnoxious stans.

Anywho, instead of another album, he should either, put out all of those unreleased tracks he did for mixes, or make that long awaited collab album with Samiyam.

Couldn't be more excited for this! Los Angeles (+ EPs) is awesome and Cosmogramma totally blew me away. Just listened to that again yesterday for the first time in a LONG time and it was even better than I remembered. Pattern+Grid World was a bit of a disappointment... not bad, but nothing stellar.

I still don't have 1983... how does it compare to his next 2 albums? I'll prolly pick that up while waiting for the new one...

1983 is a good album, but it doesn't compare, because the album isn't similar enough to be compared on the terms that you're probably implying.
