So the wait is over.... It's seems like for ever now that Flying Lotus' new album has been hailed by a lucky few industry insiders including BBC Radio One's Mary Anne Hobb's as a life changing experience. Hyperbole was a plenty in the months leading up to this week as more and more music lovers got their hands on early or leaked copies of "Cosmogramma", Mary Anne was even quoted as saying that "this album will change electronic music for all time" (quite the big up indeed).
But was all this waiting and hype worth it? In more than one word.... You bet your friggin' life it was. Flying Lotus has created a 17 track master piece with this album, it really is a cohesive piece of music that consumes you and engulfs you into a world of sounds that only someone with the musical talent of Steven Ellison (Flying Lotus) could create.
As the album carries you through it's rainbow of musical colours, it becomes clear that it is much more than just another album... You realise that it is essentially an amalgamation of every emotion you have ever experienced and some you have not, further more it's an amalgamation of everywhere music has been, is right now and undoubtedly will be in the future (with Flying Lotus now playing a large part in this).
And once the album finishes you feel a host of things, but more often than not it's an overwhelming compulsion to play track one again.
You can purchase "Cosmogramma" from any good digital retailer or online record stores.
