Cosmogramma

A maximalist masterwork of cosmic IDM and spiritual jazz. Dense, hyper-kinetic beats collide with harps and live strings to map the architecture of a lucid dream.

April 21, 2010 · Warp Records

A restless, hyper-kinetic journey through grief and cosmic wonder.

Moments Worth Listening For

The rhythmic transition in 'Zodiac Shit' where the beat flips from a slow crawl into a swaggering, string-laden groove.

The literal sound of a table tennis match becoming the percussion bed for the track 'Table Tennis'.

The haunting, desperate vocal delivery from Thom Yorke buried within the swirling textures of '...And the World Laughs With You'.

The way 'Galaxy in Janaki' erupts into a maximalist orchestral finale that feels like a spiritual ascension.
