The first thing to be said about Cosmogramma is that it is, in any aspect, an album which is way ahead of its time. In fact, it is probably the most futuristic record I have heard since Radiohead's Kid A (no surprise Thom Yorke contributed a vocal track on this one). Flying Lotus' genius Steve Allison blends all kinds of musical genres into a complex, multilayered masterpiece: Hip Hop, House and Free Jazz just to name some of them. The result sounds strangely accessible and organic, considering such an insane effort. In a recent interview the artist himself described his work as an experimental space opera, which pretty much sums up what the album sounds like: Pop music for the 23rd century.
