Cosmogramma

Flying Lotus, (born Steven Ellison) is an experimental multi-genre (ranging from sounds like breakbeat, soul, hiphop) music producer, and laptop musician from Winnetka, California. His debut album, 1983, was released on Plug Research Records in 2006.[1] He is most famous (yet also uncredited) for much of the bumper music on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim programming block,[2] and he has also contributed remixes for fellow Plug Research artists, including Mia Doi Todd. He is referred to as FlyLo by fans and critics.

Cosmogramma is Flying Lotus' third album, scoring wide positive reviews and a whopping 8.8 from pitchfork media. The album was release May 3 2010 in the UK, and a day later in the US.
Cosmogramma is an intricate, challenging record that fuses Ellison's loves-- jazz, hip-hop, videogame sounds, IDM - into something unique. It feels almost like an avant-garde jazz piece, and so it takes more than a few listens to sink in.

The song that will likely get the most attention here is "...And the World Laughs With You", a collaboration with Thom Yorke. Obviously an electronic-music fan, Yorke has done these guest spots before (for Modeselektor and others) and with such a high-profile contributor it's easy to make the song all about him. But FlyLo doesn't pay Yorke any undue deference, just treats his vocals like another element to manipulate and weave into the mix. It's so subtle, in fact, that if you're not paying close attention you might miss his appearance altogether. It's this level of confidence and commitment to his vision that ultimately makes Cosmogramma so fascinating.

Thom Yorke

The solo album from the one and only thom yorke, frontman of widely acclaimed rock band Radiohead, economy activist and the often seen collaborating under the name of Dr. Tchock with visual artist Stanley Donwood (pen name of Dan Rickwood)
This album was a chance for thom to create a sound that he wanted to put into his own album, with a lot of the sounds and rhythms dating back far in thoms musical career locked away in his head, apart from two songs, the title track and "Black Swan", use samples of recordings made by other members of Radiohead. The album debuted at #3 on the UK Albums Chart and at #2 on the Billboard 200 in the United States, selling over 90,000 copies in its first week. The album was producing by long-time friend and producer Nigel Godrich. Yorke described the album as 'more beats and electronics', and said he didnt 'want to hear the word solo', disproving theories of radiohead 'splitting up', he described producing this album as doing with the fans' 'Blessing'.

A lot of the lyrics are inspired by the issue of climate change. Yorke was a spokesman for Friends of the Earth's "The Big Ask" campaign to reduce carbon emissions, as was recently seen at the Copenhagen 15 Climate Change summit, to which he described his utter disgrace 'nothing [had] been done'. He posted on the Radiohead website about this.

The Artwork was created by Stanley Donwood (He has worked with Yorke only almost all of the radiohead artwork) and it includes iconic London buildings that have been swept away by the Thames, including the Tower of London, the Houses of Parliament and the Thames Barrier.

Yorke has said this for environmental reasons, The Eraser CD packaging was made of cardboard and it does not contain any plastic.
I strongly advise you buy this album if you like what you hear, as contradictive as this sound, this guy really deserves every penny.
