I like cosmagramma a lot, as well as his other albums. I guess they are better to listen to either when you are chilling and talking with a small group of people, or maybe cruising in a car with a friend burnin somethin down. also i do put it on before bed, they are just chill beats. Hes done some remixes and people remix his stuff, and those tend to be a little more interesting. I like stuff he does with gonja sufi

Oh I love me some "chill" electro, but I just don't find his music to be very captivating. Nothing of his that I've heard is memorable at all (IMO), and I'm a person that neeeeeds hooks and catchiness to keep me interested. I'm much more excited to catch the Washed Out and Gold Panda sets.

yeah it is understandably not for everyone. the subtle hooks do become more apparent when you listen to the music a lot, and on good speakers. but I see it more as really great background music, or something i can throw on when i want to lay down and think or lay down and think of nothing, more than something i want to sit down and devote all my attention to. I havent seen him live yet, so im not exactly sure what to expect, but i know i wont be missing his set for anyone besides flaming lips or deerhunter.
Alright, challenge accepted. I'm going to spend the day with Cosmogramma and see if I can make it work.
I did this yesterday (on headphones), on my way to work and home. Decent travel music. I hate track one, but once I got past that I found some stuff I liked. There's some d'n'b influence buried in there which was my first love in the electronic genre. I can see how this isn't for everyone though.

I think of these songs as situational songs. I definitely couldn't just sit around listening to Flying Lotus all day, and I definitely couldn't see myself rolling down the street in my Toyota Yaris pooping some FlyLo beats. I definitely do think they have their place though given the right party or situation. I like Camera Day. Thanks for the recommendations ithaca.

i agree. background music is the best way to describe it. and i'm sure its excellent for laying down and falling asleep to...but if i may be honest, i'm not entirely sure lulling people to sleep is something i'd want on my resume. 'my music puts people in COMAS'
but that's me. i sincerely hope you enjoy his set.
