Review

Flying Lotus' third studio escapade, "Cosmogramma," unleashed in 2010, is a mesmerizing electronica odyssey that spotlights the artist's staggering evolution and boundless range. This Afrofuturist symphony is a dense tapestry woven with threads of psychedelic hip-hop, IDM, nu jazz, and glitch, sculpting a soundscape that's both intricate and maximalist. The production is a kaleidoscope of sound, intricately layered with live instruments like harp, bass, strings, saxophone, and trumpet seamlessly commingling with electronic elements.

With themes of lucid dreaming, out-of-body experiences, and daydreams, "Cosmogramma" feels like a cosmic journey through an abstract map of the universe—a true space opera. The album’s visual counterpart, an excerpt from "Codex Tor" by Leigh McCloskey, enriches this otherworldly aura. Lauded by critics and ranked among the greatest albums of the 2010s, "Cosmogramma" stands as a testament to Flying Lotus' visionary approach to music production and his penchant for pushing the boundaries of electronic music. - Reid
