i was 6 years old uncle preloaded a mp3 for me with this song in it honestly was the first song i ever fell in love with lost the mp3 when i had to be 9 and tried my best to find out what this songs name was but there wasn’t much to go off of. fast forward 10 years and i found it again and finally was able to reconnect with this amazing song bopping it ever since

I had a seizure a year and half ago, I've basically been in a void for that period of time. I am finally starting to feel like myself, still having memory problems, but I remembered this song. FLYLo

I first listened to this artwork at 1 a.m at the U.S-Mexico border in Lukeville-Sonoyta, as my family slept, I was in the driver seat watching the border guards roll by, it was ethereal.

A literal masterpiece. I still get into the mood to come back and listen to this twice per year on average for the last 10 years or so.

I honestly feel privileged to hear this. This shit is amazing

This is the song that got me hooked on FlyLo...

i’m getting nostalgia to when my dad would play this for me when i was little love u flylo❤️

This song invokes the exact feelings I had at electric Forest 2014. Got to see FlyLo perform there. I’ll never💜 forget it

Every time I listen to this I just close my eyes and bleed into the cosmos. I'm just flying around at high speeds, visiting planets and stars, and discovering new things in the universe. Cool.

This, is a masterpiece of beat-making. Instant classics status, a benchmark if you will. Right up there with, oh wait...I must have forgotten, nobody's on this level.

You know you’ve found quality when you still listen 7 years later

Born in 92, that sound reminds me of playing my Nintendo 64 when I was little, Still have it to this day that and the Ps2 I would say are the two biggest systems I grew up Dynasty Warriors 4 (2004), Shinobi (2002), Mario Kart(1996), Pokemon Stadium 2 (2000), Crash Bandicoot Warped (1998), Super Smash Bros (1999)((Even though Melee is my favorite)), And xbox 360 was kind of the last system of my childhood got that in 07 when I was 14. Man Nostalgia is awesome

I liked the track up until the part after 5:11

6 years later the vibe is still there. Music is timeless I’ll tell you that.

Flying Lotus makes really good music and this is calming

I get so nostalgic when I listen to this, brings back memories from 2015

This song colored my whole years of melancholy while living with my father.

this is amazing, resembles the year i was born(1983) and as i grew up like a reflection in the mirror.. big ups to fly lo!

bro like this song makes me tear up EVERY SINGLE TIME it dont matter whats happening. everything about this is just amazing and thats not even enough to describe it

Light filters through the prism, rainbows reflect A colourful explosion in the artwork that you’ll find by CEPT Struggling with the concept, show a little intellect I expect you to challenge or forever you’ll regret Is it so easy to except, just as easy to neglect Starts a chain affect in retrospect I thought you would forget Measured by the goals we set, you’ll be judged if you’re inept Left wallowing in ignorance, a poisoning effect That you portray in everything you do, so easy to infect Lose connection with what’s positive, so easy to disconnect Let your conscious interject, with the world reconnect Take pride in everything you do, have a little self-respect Redirect negativity, your shields they can deflect If you embrace self-awareness, your soul you can protect Moving forward positively, simple case no-one’s perfect Sometimes we travel of course but are never truly wrecked

I wanna go out skating to this right now

lotus is a genius

That's a badass pic

It's a fucking astronaut on fire. fuck.

First time I heard this was when I bought 1983, Cosmogramma, and Until the Quiet Comes ALL AT ONCE (already had Los Angeles). My tradition is to listen to every album I buy from start to finish....so when I heard this song and it's transition at 4:34. I lost my mind.

4:32 The Eargasms are real at this part.

gotta get this poster for my room ha

my sister had this on vinyl and lost it the record is worth 250s dollars

When I first got this album Bach in high school, I had just started smoking weed so I could try to sleep (I have a sleep disorder) and I would just lay on my bed wide awake all night listening to this album on loop. No sleep crew

Him and squarepusher, squarepusher's my favorite producer/electronic artist of all time.

Damn I listen to this when I was 13 😭😭😭 ain’t never forget u now I’m 22

Reminds me of when I was a little boy at my grandma's playing Nintendo 64 haha good old days ^_^

Q: why'd the astronaut cross the road? A: To find the source of this beautiful beat.

Simply amazing.

2012 was the best year for music 😢

This album still sounds like it could've been released yesterday. crazy stuff

A lot of producers are visible in this. Pete Rock especially with the little bonus beat at the end, that's CL Smooth era where you hear a 4 minute hip-hop track then get a little snazzy beat to listen to for 30 seconds or so. Double K (of People Under the Stairs) did that a lot too. I see FlyLo's style as a culmination of many genres of music, always borrowing something with a tip o' the hat to whatever the original artist was going for. In some cases he samples spiritual music of Africa etc.

This is such an artwork. Just thought about the track and immediately went to RU-vid

where the 1 Billions Hours version ?

Oh shit, it's THE FURY!!!

Old school gaming is wonderful :) Zelda, Sonic and Mario!

Used to trip sack to this song lol Good times

Not only does Dilla precede this, Madlib is visible in this as well. Dilla and Madlib shit on FlyLo (as well as a bunch of other rap producers like Rza, Pete Rock, Premier, Prince Paul, to name a few). That being said, This is phenomenal.

first song i ever fell in love with on a pre loaded mp3 back when i was like 6

Flying Lotus changed my life

Remember when a drop didn't have to have bass to be sick? I'm 1998 so I'm probably not having the same nostalgia, but for fucks sake bring it back, this shits kicking bro

I'm late to the comments (but right on time too, paradox). I just found Flying Lotus so this song sounds pretty tight to me. I found out about FlyLo by listening to a YT vidoe debate about Miles Davis between Stanley Crouch and James Mtume (Rest in Power). FlyLo was mentioned in the comments as having been one of the many artists Miles influenced by his use of electronic synths and beat machines in the 2nd half of his musical career. Anyway, this beat is definitely hypnotic and I especially like the homage he pays to the late Great Jazz phenomena that was Sun Ra, by sampling sounds from the beginning of Sun Ra's epic metaphysical 1973 movie called "Space Is The Place".

FREE DANK-MAN My lil bro who was born August 1983. He is serving 2 years in Norco prison. So that makes this song "Super-Bump"! love you bay-bro. Keep your head up your almost home

paving the way for upcoming producers thanks for inspiring the world

Remembering the goold ol' days watching Samurai Shamploon on adultsmin every night. ;')

hey , this composition is the reason why i play by bass lines like this

Masterpiece.

Omg Common would go crazy on this track. Yoo he got to rap on this.

I just recently introduced to experiemntal and trip-hop and so far, I am loving this music genre. Flylo, Tokimonsta, Fat Jon and so many others are just so amazing!

I was looking for bio digital jazz, man... and i just found it!!!!

who gave this astronaut my mixtape???

wtf this is dope - never heard of it till now- i was 5 years old in 83-peace

flylo intros are insane, like the first 58 seconds don't even matter. he just slaps u w the main loop a minute in.

this will forever be my "shrooming" song and one of my all time favorites fersure.

This is the kind of music that gives shivers when you listen to it! :D

I remember having this wallpaper, and most likely listening to this song with this wallpaper, that’s crazy 😎

Just came in from a night time walking solo spliff and had this in recommended videos...my head has been transported.

I mightve traveled to a parallel universe but I distinctly remember this song being titled "1984". I seriously am not playing around. Anyone else remember this?

My favorite from Flying Lotus and his remix to JD fall in love man so awesome.

He touches souls

They didn't have anything like this in 1983. :)

This is amazing. Flyo is truly a legend

9th. Wonder, DJ Premier, Pete Rock, Questlove, and the list goes on and on till the break of dawn

this song hit me so hard the first time I heard it

Had to search this after a long time. Forever feels

we are very happy to know that !

So very good, years ago since I heard this track... ahh the memories :)

Best beat in the world

It was only a matter of time before I discovered another treasure like this one...Thanks

The Alchemist, Zach Hill and Andy Morin, Statik Selektah, Sneaker Pimps

If only I could travel back in time to listening to this Masterpiece in 1983

That is one awesome picture

Shits insane while stoned

The picture is amazing (dour 2013

I feel the same way exactly, carried on listening to a load of different songs searching for the depth I'm missing somewhere.. But all I'm getting is some kind of scat music but drums and synth. Mind you I do like this song.

Hearing this on some magic mushrooms after not having dosed in years is an otherworldly experience. 🔥🔥🔥🔥

I first heard this song back in 2016 because of someone on Minecraft 😂 I liked it so I downloaded it, here I am again after just so happening to remember the song from seeing the picture used in it. Man how time flies!

Tripped to this song. Amazing

I cant help but imagining a monochromatic grey scape where im forced to dance with others for eternity or until forgiven...I look fly im dancing dope but thats all i can do not eat sleep live laugh or love centuries i float every hundred years toward heaven and whenever i stop dancing i sink into hell......this is the theme song to Purgatory

FlyLo is every music producers wet dream

Luckely, there is oxygen on this planet!!!

it's called a masterpiece, can't rush it

Flying Lotus is definitely an alien came to earth to elevate our spirituality through its music. That's it

My new wallpaper

So many memories to this song

Looks as though bae handed an astronaut the Aux cable.

Mang, dis sh*t'll just keep yo head boppin'....Such great music!

My boy Mac or earl could kill this beat. Or both when they collab

flylo: reinvented the concept of intros and outros

I love the picture

Heard this over one of those deep wierd stations super early in the morning like 3 or 4 am and at the end the radio guy was like flying lotus 1983 I was like yo that would be a fire instrumental for an elite rapper to spit over

If i could define Fly Lo in 2 words, itd be "Super Jail."

Aboutta put this FlyLo back on the alarm. Back to normal : read burnin’
