Putty Boy Strut was my favorite song on first listen. PS: The only release now is a vinyl rip, I'd probably update once a CD/WEB release is out.

Somebody call the plumber. I think there's a leak somewhere.

Linky link?

Please link me please please please please!!!!!!!! Flying lotus makes me jizz rainbows!

I have to let it digest, but I can tell this is gonna be my favorite release of the year.

It's not all that great on first listen (half way through) but yeah, sure it will grow on me.

It's definitely a grower. I'm on my 4th listen and I absolutely love it. First spin was very meh. That's how all flylo albums are though.

I thought it was pretty mediocre too, but the only song I really loved off of Cosmogramma was the Thom Yorke one, so I'm not holding my breath.

Damn dude, ...And the World Laughs With You was easily one of the weakest songs on cosmogramma.

The second half was better than the first, but it's a 3.5/5 on first listen. Probably end up a 4/5.

Anyone got a link? All the ones I've tried have been deleted.

**Legit CD release is oot**

Is it any different from the vinyl rip?

In terms of audio quality, yes.

I thought it was a little underwhelming, but it's still solid. Probably between a 3-4.

The opening track has to be my favourite on the album.

I just got it. I haven't listened to it yet, but I'm excited to. Obviously, this merits a post somehow.

Wow, I'm just blown away, and that's not a phrase I use lightly. This seems like the album that I thought Cosmogramma was going to be when it was released. Not that I'm knocking Cosmogramma by any means; I just felt like it was quite a departure from everything that came before it.

The album definitely carries the theme intimated by the album title Until the Quiet Comes . There is a prevalent "Nocturnal R&B" theme to it, (If anybody is familiar with the late night quiet storm R&B radio broadcasts that seem to exist somewhere on the far right of the dial in almost every city, then what I'm saying will make all the more sense). The album seems more ethereal and has much more of an organic element to it. Despite it being quite a bit less beat-centric than Cosmogramma or Los Angeles, much more of the sampled instrumentation sounds quite a bit less blatantly electronic. There are a few exceptions to that though, such as the song Sultan's Request which carries itself over with an almost dubsteppy bassline only to abandon the theme and give way to a more "discrete beat" style.

The cameos are all interesting too. I for one was not expecting See Thru to U, the song featuring Erykah Badu on vocals, to have such an abstract bent to it. DMT Song, featuring Thundercat, has a 70's jazz fusion vibe to it very reminiscent of Chick Corea's Return to Forever ensemble. The jazz fusion element also happens to rear its head at various points throughout the album. Altogether there are many distinct homages, in bits and snippets, to the influence of African American Urban music on contemporary hip hop/electronica and they all play out quite beautifully and cohesively. Candyman featuring Thom Yorke seems a little odd, but nonetheless appreciable. Thom Yorke... neo-soul singer? Well, maybe not, but the song doesn't take away from the cohesiveness of the album as a whole and only feels somewhat disjointed when one remembers a certain little band called Radiohead.

All and all I don't think I can say enough good things about this album and I'm sure I'll be deriving much more enjoyment from it in the future. It could be a game changer for a whole slew of relevant genres. Even after only a cursory listen, it has had a tremendous impact on me. It's not the Fly Lo album I was expecting, but it's exactly the Fly Lo album I was hoping for.

Precisely my thoughts.

After a few more listens I'm even more amazed. The album has this remarkable quality of taking linear time and twisting it like a pretzel. Listening to it from start to finish is .like exploring the rooms of a giant mansion, seeing prevalent recurring themes in different rooms. It's quite strange although I could be just crazy.

The prevalent 70's jazz fusion influence has made itself more obvious through further listening, (seriously, dude musty have played a stack of weather Report and Return to Forever albums in the interim between Cosmogramma and this album), I think it's the Fender Rhodes Electric piano which is replete on this album. Some of the various points where he dives into some pretty stereotypical dubstep/electro bass sounds seem a bit out of place, but it happens so infrequently that it can be written off as artistic license. I'm definitely still feeling the brilliance of this album.

I'm listening to this right now, and considering I wasn't that blown away by Cosmogramma, I'm pretty happy with this release. I definitely think I need to do a proper listen with headphones, or a bit louder on my stereo, but I can definitely see me spinning this a lot in the future. There's just something so hypnotic about it.

I'm going to wait to vote, but I'm enjoying it immensely so far.

Man, I do hope you love it. It's a pretty stupendous album.

You guys are forcing my hand. Will give it another try with headphones later.

I may have been a bit preemptive with it's review. I'm not saying it's not high praise worthy; It's just one of those weird albums that gives a different impression each time I listen to it.

this interview is pretty cool

Coincidentally enough, I dug up this thread so I could post this little Mini-documentary I found:

Loved that documentary. Got excited when it appeared on my YouTube homepage. P4K is worth a subscribe.

Flylo is the bomb. I saw him live a few months ago at Union Transfer with Thundercat (btw, definitely give "Apocalypse" a listen. I think it's even better than "The Golden Age of Apocalypse"). However, flylo is one of those guys that you dont listen to album by album. He has a few good tracks in every album, and a ton of stuff that makes you wonder wtf kind of acid he's on. Nonetheless he's a kickass artist without a doubt.
