can anyone give me an up of the album in a private message?
all the versions of the album i've got have been distorted, and i'm sick of just streaming it.

Which album?

Fuck it - let him stream it or pay up.

Anyway, I'm unsure about the new one. I like it but I don't find myself listening to it very often - for sure it didn't start a temporary obsession which is generally how I can tell if I love an album or not.

I'm really hoping there is a Madlib/Flying Lotus collaboration, i can't imagine it being anything but awesome.

i don't understand all of the love for cosmogramma. it's ok. the samples are great and the rest leaves something to be desired.

Maybe one day, when you're thinking about something else entirely, maybe contemplating nature, death, and the significance of life, maybe then you'll be free of desire and love this album.

Seriously, you would have to like 'abstract electronic' music to really enjoy Cosmogramma. I'm not saying that you should bother listening to it much if you don't. But there's definitely love in it.

what is your favorite track? i would rate most of it above average, but there is nothing that piques my interest. so many of the songs are little ditties that peak immediately then repeat.

Oh hey, I missed this post -- To answer your question / comment:

I can totally understand where your coming from as the album is really quite 'abstract' compared to much of his other music. It's got a lot of short, meandering tracks and not a whole lot of beats. I had problems getting into it myself for a while. I liked it immediately but after a few listens I just kind of never put it on again. But recently I've been listening to it a lot and so here's my response to you:

I began to think of it as more of a 70s Jazz fusion album - or maybe Krautrock even. I also only listen to the album straight through, never single songs. It made a lot more sense to me after that.

My favorite of the rare groove-based tracks is this:
Do the Astral Plane

But my favorite track is probably this:
Dance of the Pseudo Nymph

It seems that the genres are blending when it comes to electronica and hip hop. Honestly, its a beautiful meeting I do believe. FlyLo is a perfect example of this.
