Does anyone know if Flying Lotus' Double 180g Vinyl Collectors Edition of Until the Quiet Comes was released yet? You could pre-order the regular set on Amazon but there was no pre-order up on Amazon for the 180g set... which is the one I want.
I pre-ordered mine from
Bleep. I got a despatch confirmation email yesterday
.
I was listening to the digital (FLAC) version this afternoon, and early impressions were that although I wasn't as ecstatic as I was with
Cosmogramma, it's an interesting album nonetheless...
I guess he really hit the sweet spot with
Cosmogramma, combining musical universes I dig in just the right way. I gave it a listen straight afterwards, & it seemed more intense, more trippy, i.e. psychedelic, hitting more places in me, emotionally.
But, hum. I wasn't doing it right. First listen of
Until the Quiet Comes I did via speakers. Obviously not loud enough. Listening to it again
right now via my headphones, it's much, much better. Next time I'll play it way louder via the speakers, like I always do with Fly-Lo actually. What was I thinking?! Doh! I should have known: the same thing happened when I was first introduced to Fly-Lo with
Los Angeles a couple of years ago; with the first listens I wasn't flabbergasted, but I tried again later louder with earphones, and it suddenly became apparent to me that this Steve Ellison was onto something...
