Do the Astral Plane (from Cosmogramma)
Flotus (from Ideas + Drafts + Loops)

 

[Mully]

What a wonderful musician. Flotus is such a calming song.

 

[Order]

I can't wait for this. I got high hopes for the Kendrick and Captain Murphy features

 

[SJRB]

The collab with Snoop is so surreal. But yeah, really looking forward to this even though the video preview sounds surprisingly.. orchestral? Not sure what to call it.

 

[Herbspiceguy]

Awesome, didn't even know about this, will definitely pick it up.
Also reminded me that I should be buying the Underachievers album one of these days.

 

[OrlanisWorks]

Finally announced yes! The most talented musician I've ever heard.

 

[injurai]

preview is striking all the chords with me

also those track names are great

 

[BobDylan]

so hyped for this. love flylo and been anticipating this album for a bit. saw him for the first time over the summer and it was one of the best performances ive ever seen. nothing but praise for this man

 

[K.Sabot]

I was totally thinking of making this thread a few hours ago.

THEM ILLUSTRATIONS THO

Such a cool visual concept, Kago's style is great even if I'm super squeamish to it.

 

[Bread]

Can't wait to hear the angel deradoorian song, I fell in love with her after slasher flicks.

 

[Soma]

Added more info in the OP that I missed before.

Also track times (total clocking in at about 38 minutes)

 

[Renta]

Flylo let's goooooo! October is gonna be so good for me this year.

 

[cacophony]

short as hell. i like it though

 

[robotrock]

Hell yeah! Surprised about the lack of a Thom Yorke feature, but whatever. This is going to be awesome.

 

[a3den]

The preview sounds good, a lot busier than his last record. I can dig that. There's probably a little more rapping as well, cool.

It's gonna a good fall for music, new FlyLo and new Dorian Concept, I'm happy.

 

[Servbot24]

Hmm, preview basically sounds like UtQC. Was hoping he would really step things up this time. Oh well, should still be a good album.

 

[Fjordson]

I'm excited.

Though I hope after this his next record is another Captain Murphy release.

 

[enzo_gt]

Will cop for that art alone.

 

[Emperor Bohe]

Fuck yes day one

 

[Emperor Bohe]

Fuck yes day one

Edit: fucj Ing mobile

 

[BroggieDoge]

Fucking HYPE!

 

[Pinko Marx]

HNNNNNNNNNNNNNG. One of my favorite artists. Can't fucking WAAAAAAIT.


Not digging the artwork, though. But hey, its new FlyLo.

 

[Alcoholikaust]

excited. love me the lotus ( or any warp artists really)

 

[nvrslp]

I loooove FlyLo. Anyone else going to see him in NYC on 10/15? Last time I saw him was on his birthday two years ago at Terminal 5 for the release of Until the Quiet Comes.

 

[Imperial Hot]

That preview is so fucking good. Really thinking about getting tickets to the Carrboro show.

 

[overcast]

Oh god yes. Love Lotus. Art is amazing.

 

[BIGWORM]

5, 6, 12, 13, 17, and 19 all sound so good.

 

[Das Ace]

Fuck yes. Always ready for another concept trip with FlyLo

 

[SJRB]

Added more info in the OP that I missed before.

Also track times (total clocking in at about 38 minutes)

What the fuck at all those 2-minute tracks.

 

[Soma]

He usually has quite a bit of short tracks in his releases but yeah there does seem to be a larger amount of sub 2 minute tracks.

Hopefully it means that the album will have a good flow without a lot of fat that needs trimming.

 

[Dereck]

I need to cop that bonus track ya dig

 

[BIGWORM]

We gonna need some extended loops up in this.

 

[Ivan 3414]

Hate the album artwork. And I could do without the Kendrick feature. And Captain Murphy.

But I'm somewhat interested.

 

[SJRB]

Hate the album artwork. And I could do without the Kendrick feature. And Captain Murphy.

But I'm somewhat interested.

Asking FlyLo to pass on Captain Murphy is kinda impossible.

 

[Ivan 3414]

Asking FlyLo to pass on Captain Murphy is kinda impossible.

I know who he is.

Spoiler

And it's not. He could just not rap.

 

[Spring-Loaded]

Fantastic.

 

[abadguy]

Will buy.

What the fuck at all those 2-minute tracks.

His last album was pretty short as well.

 

[SJRB]

I know who he is.

Spoiler

And it's not. He could just not rap.

I really enjoyed Duality, even if it could do without the terrible cult speech samples all over the album.

 

[Order]

Relevant? Adult Swim just posted a video. "The Birth of Captain Murphy.

[Bread]

Hey everyone if you're going to see FlyLo this fall, educate yourself on Thundercat. He's one of the best and most creative bassists out there now, and he's opening for FlyLo.

Check out Oh Sheit, It's X and Heartbreaks, Setbacks off his new album Apocalypse. He's funky as shit, you won't be disappointed.

 

[genjiZERO]

Hmmmm....... do I get the boxset or not?

I have the Captain Murphy vinyl..... wow am I glad I bought one of those.

 

[DominoKid]

was really hoping the Captain Murphy album would come out before this but this should be aight. the art pieces are ocol.

 

[robotrock]

Hmmmm....... do I get the boxset or not?

I have the Captain Murphy vinyl..... wow am I glad I bought one of those.

Mad jealous.

 

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

Subbed. That preview video just destroyed my entire life

 

[CountBlack]

I am excited.

 

[injurai]

Subbed. That preview video just destroyed my entire life

blood on your hands flylo

 

[Dereck]

Is there a picture of the box set?

 

[Zelda]

[robotrock]

Is there a picture of the box set?
