At least, I assume he's from space. There is almost no Earthly explanation for the bass lines this man can drop. They're some of the most inventive, jazzy, and all-around coolest riffs I've heard in a while. This album seems like a direct continuation on Flying Lotus' "Cosmogramma," on which Thundercat's skill was heavily utilized. Point being- this is a fantastic album, and if you're a fan of Flying Lotus, you're already a fan of Thundercat even if you didn't know it. This man is a savant on the bass. It would be foolish to avoid buying this album.

5.0 out of 5 stars An inimitable blend of jazz, funk, electro and awesome August 30, 2011
Format:Audio CD
A sideman no more, Thundercat comes crashing to the fore with a debut that fuses funk, electro and jazz, while working very hard to keep the emotive power of the songs front and center. If you like Prince, Zappa and George Duke, this is your album. And if you like all three you'll likely think it's one of the best albums of the year...and you'd be right.

Standout tracks include:
"Is it Love?"
"Return to the Journey"
"Daylight"
"Boat Cruise"

...but really, there isn't a bad song on this record.

Absolutely lush jazzy electronica.
Highly recommended for fans of Madlib, Flying Lotus, J Dilla, and anybody who loves good jazz and/or electronica :)

5.0 out of 5 stars Golden in 2011 August 30, 2011

This one of a few of my highly anticipated albums of 2011. It doesn't disappoint. Fly Lo's Brainfeeder label will be on my radar for a while.

5.0 out of 5 stars Can't stop listening October 3, 2011
Format:MP3 Music|Amazon Verified Purchase
For all you'll hear about the amazing bass playing (it's phenomenal), the jazz-fusion chops (legit) and the Flying Lotus assist (solid but understated - which I actually mean as a big compliment), Thundercat's vocals and pop sensibilities have kept this on repeat. I bought the mp3s here, but I'm going to grab the vinyl too. It's that good. It's been a long time since I've like a record this much.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ummm. . . didn't see this coming January 26, 2012
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
I heard a track from this somewhere and then bought the album cold. I can't believe somebody is making this music right now. It's like a mirrored device from the future which transmits the best sounds of the past and transforms them into the future. This is useful technology. Though I bought the MP3 album, I'm think I'm going to order the vinyl and put it in the stack right next to the turntable between Steely Dan's "Aja" and Stevie Wonder's "Inner Visions", so when I don't have time to listen to both, I'll put this on and feel more than satisfied.

I also want to second the comments of the other reviewers. However, I should point out that while some might see this as a collaborative effort between Thundercat and FlyLo and a continuation of their collaboration on "Cosmogramma" (in fact, they themselves might see it that way), I think this album is it's own brand of genius, taking off in its own direction and really coming into a full stride. How I hope this effort has a full head of steam and more releases are hiding in the near future waiting to pounce like GAoA did.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best record of 2011 January 24, 2012
By uh
Format:Vinyl|Amazon Verified Purchase
Future R&B Fusion Jazz... It's like Jaco and George Duke made a baby and Flying Lotus filmed it. IMO the best record of 2011, and without a doubt the best bass playing in 2011.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Golden Tones of Eccentricity May 15, 2013
Format:MP3 Music|Amazon Verified Purchase
Thundercat is a kid of the 80s and it shows (or if he isn't, he can sure fake it well!). His music is a nice little blend of whatever dragged its way into the 80s from the previous decade combined with the stuff of then and even the occasional stuff of now. If you're a Daedelus or Flying Lotus fan, definitely worth the purchase.
