lol

did you even consider that a lot of the sounds he uses here aren't even electronic sounds anymore?

re: sonic quality

perhaps he wanted a warm, fuzzy, slightly muddy retro nostalgic sound going on rather than a polished, modern day EQ'd to death sound?
a lot of the layers and textures are thick and rich, just not in a high end digital production sense, sounds like basic standard mics used in everyday situations rather than top end everything in super-fancy studios

could be well off here though

Hmmm....

Didn't have any expectations for this album.
I heard all the track previews on Juno download when it was released this week, then decided to buy it all.
Its a growing album.
1. I find it more sweeter & richer than L.A
2. I like the organic angle Fly Lo has gone
3. Its similar but different to L.A, as much as i love L.A, this feels more mature
4. For me this is a more rounded attempt at making a complete album.

Still need to listen to this more.
Been reading lots of reviews online & everyone is giving this favorable, positive & constructive reviews.
Now all that is needed is Fly Lo to come back to Sydney for the crew!

i love it, much better than LA imo.
like everyone says its 'a grower' made to be listened to as an album with a few highlights.

dunno what that waste raver is talking about re sonic quality, it sounds great - as intended.

:w:

This sounds fantastic. Wish a few tunes were mastered a little louder, like Computer Face//Pure Being should've had Parisian Goldfish style loudness. That said though, easily the best album I've heard this year. Feels much more complete than LA, proper 1950s sci-fi movie vibes, and that Table Tennis tune is just bananas.

funny how criticism is taken on this board. especially with people it doesn't even concern.

Went to a Buddhist festival yesterday.
Sat down in the sun, turned "Cosmogramma" on & just watched the people/dancers on stage, smelt the incense, food, flowers......the album made sense amongst all that activity.
Fucking brilliant really! :D

like most people here i'm really loving the album. in regards to the "poor" sonic quality. i think that was the sound he was going for..

if you want this album to sound like LA did, just run it through a roland sp-XXX compressor.


i dig it...

lots more jazz influences especially on second half

I've listened to the record about twice in it's full form. It never clicked yet, but that could be me? Unfortunately, my MP3 player's quite shit, and I can't put the album on. "Pseudo-Nymph" is still one of my favorites though, and the table-tennis tune made me and a friend burst into laughter at the notion.

This is Flylo's best yet. Zodiac Shit and Computer face are my favorites. It's a great album.
