as someone who got into Flylo in 2015, I feel a champion idiot for only checking this now.
can someone smart who understands this album please explain why Dead Man's Tetris is sequenced after Never Catch Me?

I also think the breakneck acceleration of the last minute of never catch me leads quite nicely into the lackadaiscal pace of dead man's tetris, one of the slowest songs on the album

I'm not huge on DMT (haha get it? nice one flylo) either tbh



this vies for supremacy over UTQC the same way LA and Cosmo fight each other for top spot in my book

Which FL album would be a great starting point? I have heard bits and pieces from this album, so that's about all the current insight i have into this dude's catalogue.

I think this one is a fantastic choice! It was my first and I immediately fell in love. Cosmogramma is a bit more dark. I can barely remember what L.A. is like cause I haven't heard it in so long. I remember it being great though. I'd say this or Cosmogramma, with a lean towards this.

Alright, thanks. I guess i will take my time to delve further into this album. I was kinda worried that big parts of his work came down to this basic amount of complexity that would be easier to digest once you get used to his sound designs.

It can get pretty fusion heavy/complex, but that was a big draw for me. May be different for you. I was already into jazz and prog and what not before I listened to this so it spoke to me on that level.

In this case, it should fit the bill. 'Never Catch Me' feels like the perfect gate opener to me.

start with LA, go chronologically from there, then check his pre LA stuff after that if you want

Never cared for the vocals on this one, but seeing it has an instrumental version i guess ill try that

That's a weird criticism considering the very limited number of tracks with vocals and how diverse those few singers are
