Flying Lotus - You're Dead!

[Guest bitroast]

if he were to do something different, I'd like to hear more fully formed tracks rather than a bunch of 1:30 songs. his newer stuff all seems very incohesive to me because of that. kind of like some prefuse albums. just throw a bunch of shit at the wall and see what sticks. I'll def be checking this out for sure but I have low expectations as nothing has really stuck with me since cosmo

 

a solid observation.

if flying lotus was to truly make a jazz record it would be a single LP release with weird 6+ minute tracks on both sides.

you're dead sounds like it's going to be another flying lotus record (which is fine in my books, I guess, but it doesn't sound like the revolutionary jazz record that flylo was hyping up all this time).

Agreed... I want some longer tracks that really have time to evolve. My ADD is bad enough without the song changing every 30 seconds lol

[dumplings]

It was always an interesting thought back when this whole 'beat scene' grew on scale to how well some of these producers would succeed in the latter years of their careers. I thought we'd see Lotus crafting something different by now.

[Guest bitroast]

maybe the next album will sound different and in time we'll be able to call cosmogramma > quiet > dead a "trilogy" and move on from this thundercat bass/jazz sound ??

[LimpyLoo]

not only do i like the bass jazzwanking

 

but now i really wanna hear the scrapped bebop album FlyLo said he started making

[Hugh Mughnus]

I like thundercat in there too limpy. Just wish he'd give the tracks more time to develop.

Those kind of tracks are great in like, suite sets or on literal beat cassette tapes - a full-blown LP on Warp...yeah I was some meatly longer songs too.

[Ivan Ooze]

come on watmm wtf, it's gonna be short exiting tracks just like cosmogramma, nothing wrong with that

 

exaiite!!

[Brisbot]

The really weird thing about Cosmogramma was that the tracks felt longer than they were because they were so good for the most part.

Cosmo had tracks that were 5 min + though.. That's the thing, this latest release is all like 1:30 tracks, completely different from cosmo. More like a prefuse 73 release.

[Ivan Ooze]

so? extinguisher and security screenings are amazing albums by prefuse 73

 

so underrated

[jules]

the point was it would be interesting to hear him make more developed songs

1:07:00 talking (pretty boring)

1:11:10 Moment of Hesitation ft. Hancock (not boring)

While I really like Fly Lo I agree that if he wants to explore jazz further through the lens of hip hop his tracks could become longer and more exploratory. Think of Yesterday's New Quintet or ...Endtroducing formed tracks done in FlyLo's style. Potential bro. Serious.

keoowl

[logakght]

My 4th time listening and it's not keoowl anymore,,, it's fucking fantastic!

[jules]

sounds like a cut and paste job from a random early 70s free jazz record.

[yshf]

83 & Reset were like whoa

LA was the haze

Cosmogramma was the shit

Pattern Grid World was completely disposable

So were those b-sides those you had to dick around with your webcam for until somebody just finally uploaded all of them

Until Quiet had it's moments but doesn't stack up to Cosmo

Those ideas and drafts were prey good

Never really got the cap'n murphy thing

This??

this is 100% accurate

[Cryptowen]

captain murphy is my most favouritest but to be fair i've only listened to cosmo & utqc a couple of times

[Ivan Ooze]

i don't know a damn thing about jazz but that new track sounds awesome

[whylessness]

i saw snoop dogg last night and he was in top form. i have high hopes for this collaboration.
