Hi This Is Flume. I made a mixtape with some of my favorite artists. It’s 38 minutes of music, with a visualizer created by Jonathan Zawada. We hope you enjoy :)
Anna Gjefle same with decadence NYE set, ive seen flume a bunch of times but nothing could rival that steamy deep feel he brought us. kicking myself for missing snow globe
The first time I listened to this album I had been in New Zealand for two weeks and had to be at the US Embassy in Auckland and ended up having to go by myself. I was 19, walking around this big city all by myself with nobody familiar, no family, no friends, just me and my hunger for Korean food. This album just came out and I popped in headphones and immediately just got this sense of peace, adventure, and just knew I was exactly where I was supposed to be. I wandered around looking for this Korean restaurant but made sure I had left enough time where I could listen to this fully. I will never forget that walk, that time in my life, or that city. 5 years later and I still listen to this album on a daily basis. Thank you flume for being such a pinnacle part of a very rough time in my life. You’ve truly saved my life with your ability to portray human emotion and what it means to be alive. Honored to be alive at the same time as you.
This is one of those rare pieces of music that legitimately gets better and better every time you listen to it. Like not even kidding or being pretentious. This shit literally sounds better and better every single time you listen to it. There's so much complexity that you can take in more and more things with every new listen. Almost like watching a movie multiple times and noticing things you never noticed the times before. From a production standpoint its fucking unreal like how the fuck does he even make some of these sounds? Much less have them be tonal and sound so good. Like the whole soda can/bottle theme at the end, it sounds like someone blowing into a soda bottle, then someone tapping the lid of a soda bottle rhythmically reallly fast, the synths fade in and out with vocal pads effortlessly... the way he transitions between songs and parts of songs like i dont even have words for how good this is. You almost have to be a producer yourself to even appreciate how fucking absurd this actually is. This is some top notch, next level shit right here
As a producer I can say, It takes years if not at least a decade of production practise to be able to handle these kinds of ideas and have them translate effectively to the listener, its a tough balance between simplicity, complexity, drive, momentum, tension, release, rhythm and proper texture and atmosphere use. all of these things put together you get a specific artist "sound". each one is different. the hard part in production is making it all flow and feel like one entity, entartaining you, pleasing you, making you feel deep stuff. then there is singing, vocals, lyrics etc. Music is a powerful communication tool :) as humans its crazy how much we spend on music worldwide.
I feel like every time flume drops a new album or mixtape it sets a whole new mood to my life and how I see and experience the world . Flume just changed my life again ❤️
Keivan K Flume is the god of electric music, always changing and innovating, never letting anyone catch up and copy his creations. He’s had three different projects all with different aesthetics and sounds, a has been successful at each one. Flume will forever be the greatest artist to live.

Safe to say I agree. I’ve had the special moment of putting some of my favorite people onto this and I wish I could feel the feeling of discovering it for the first time!!
I'm glad I have my own sound and I'm glad Flume brings something fresh to the table. This sounds so new. A lot of people are gonna try copy this style...
Legitimately. When I discovered Flume, after he remixed You and Me, I totally changed my music style, which lead to my style of life, and I’m in a totally different spot than I ever thought I would be because of Harley
As trippy as flume’s always been, I really don’t even feel like this is trip fueled. Just pure imagination, matter of fact, total control of it. This tape was inspiring to me and left a lasting impression for sure
Flume is a master of suspense. While the audience anticipates those heavenly chords, the cosmic choir, the hypnotic vocals, the drums choke on our anxiousness, the melody metamorphoses violently, the track itself tries to start over, to return to the moment of imagination before anything sounds, where all is possible. This album (Mixtape) simultaneously sails within the space Flume has molded from the electronic world, and strings his own sound out to ethereal chambers and eerie wormholes I would have thought too experimental to label music. But I’ve found myself drifting and plunging through the currents of this soundscape since it dropped- a soundscape at once so cohesive and dissonant, it mutates the boundaries it constructs for itself. Wow. Thank you, Flume, for this world of strange beauties. What a perfect way to glide into 2019.
this changed everything for me. musically and spiritually it just changed my whole thought process...i had never listened to flume before my homie showed me this. it is incredible. ty
The car has plates from Western Australia, also most (if not all) of the landscapes look like Western Australia. It's the state of birth of the video's director J. Zawada. Interesting place to grow up. Flume is from Syd. Not his car.
I so respect how genuine this whole project is to you as an artist. This is going to spark an incredible wave of music. You should be proud of this dude, amazing stuff ♥️
my interpretation: it’s about Harley’s self discovery and journey up to this point. in the documentary we learned he was under some pressure and expectations to release his second album, and it was called skin because he hadn’t been feeling like he was in his own skin. Hi this is Flume the many voices of Harley, different personalities and emotions over time represent his stages in his career but ultimately they are all one: Flume Ecdysis 0:28 to me this is all the ideas in his head and the perfect contrast of nature vs manmade / organic, childlike vs industrial - what Jonathan Zawada’s art is about. we have pretty, harp-like twinkles contrasted with dirty industrial sounds, mixing and cutting back and forth. it’s his human nature vs his status as a famous and rich guy High Beams 2:25 high energy, riding on a high.. living fast with fame, money, not stopping to look back. here we see him driving fast in an eccentric car. the car is a metaphor for something, perhaps his musical inspiration and creativity. he speeds off into the sunset - he could keep living fast but eventually he’ll burn out.. Jewel 5:35 he gets out of the car. i think the car represents his creation of music. so he gets out onto foot - he has to discover who he is as a person. Jewel may refer to his life itself - life is precious and maybe he wants to make sure he experiences everything there is, and not feel tied down to his music. we see him exploring, discovering, travelling across the lands. Glitch name 8:48 maybe the name is some code with hidden meaning. maybe it’s just meant to mean confusion. This short track feels like a recalibration: he was travelling around the world, having fun and adventuring - this is a moment of recalibration to discovering the self rather than the world - triggered by that world discovery. Dreamtime 9:21 who am I. one man in this vast openness. free but unsure who I am and where I should go. standing on top of the mountain - he has more than he dreamed of. he stops to think about this fame and power and what it means, how it has changed him, wondering how to best proceed. 11:38 is it cold in the water he’s travelled far and wide and ends up in a small pit of mud digging up a body. the body is himself. - he is digging down to his core to figure out who he really is. he has an air of desperation. How to Build a Relationship 16:25 unsure about this. We have a looping road which is the same but different each time. Cop cars, dusty air, dinosaurs, cop cars suspended in the air.. The signs say Relationship ⬆️. My guess is it’s about going around in circles with someone, not really getting anywhere. Maybe a relationship that is more trouble than it’s worth. Servo (gas station) 19:30 This was really interesting, maybe my favourite part of the video. the first time I watched it I thought the car was a metaphor for his body - after driving so far in loops he has to stop and take care for his body. But in this clip I think the car is his mind. He takes a break to refuel, relax, clean the windscreen. The servo closes after he’s done. reminds me of a session of reflection at 2am sitting on the couch in silence while the rest of the world goes to sleep. He takes a small break before driving off again, cantering himself for the next episode... Wormhole 23:38 back to that eccentric car. here the car is his music / musical creation / his mental. High energy quirky beats. then he pours soft drink (soda) into the tank and over the engine. recklessness? living fast in the high life, neglecting his health.. never mind, he has a motorbike. splashing around money. but... Voices 26:00 the car is stuck, broken down. so he gets out again onto foot (2nd time). exploring in nature again. centering back to himself so he can get back on track Mud 27:55 animals, nature. found the solution to get himself out of the rut. Upgrade 29:23 back on the road. he took a lobster from nature. rips its claw off.. back to the neon life. big contrast from the nature of the last episode. back to living fast, expensive, drinking Time 31:10 coolest visuals.. can’t tell if renderings of cell activity or microscope footage of cells filtered to look rendered. again that mix of organic vs manmade. vocals chopped up and mixed with synthesised sounds. along with Zawada’s art which focuses on that natural vs unreal.. very cool. not much in terms of story line but maybe that life is always going on outside of you. things you can’t see (cells) are happening, life is happening everywhere while you focus on your own life. maybe a stretch Vitality 32:30 my idea for this one is: drugs. acid. filtered lens of the world (all visuals have a trippy filter) stopping to appreciate that aforementioned life that usually goes unnoticed. watching a fly. remembering your life and problems are small compared to all life. Daze 34:10 everything up until now culminated. living fast and high with money / adventuring the world / discovering self / appreciating the small things in life/// i don’t know, it’s all a lot (in a daze), i just want to have fun. let loose Amber 36:25 stepping out of the car again (3rd time) more of the journey to discover the self. after the previous 2 he went back to old ways of living- driving fast in the eccentric car. this time he allows himself to be consumed by the honey/amber (nature). spring 38:49 buries himself. i think he’s buying the version of himself affected by fame and money and living to other people’s expectations and standards. the third and final self discovery is the one that really changed him. the buried guy has the amber on his head - he is immortalising that version of himself. (amber preserves dead animals naturally) symbolic drowning of the car. the car was his life with fame and money. ego. he’s getting rid of the worldly possession and running towards the ocean. to be in nature, to be his true self. detached from the ego
Love this, I’m gonna give my take on the last 2 tracks (Amber & Spring) specifically the endings for each, both having Flume disappear. Amber: this shows how the present Flume sought his past-self, the past Flume not knowing where to go and lost (reflected by his production with Skin) but that version of him is tired and destroyed so the present Flume, buries him signifying he’s different. He spurned himself and is like Spring. Spring: It’s ending is quite thoughtful, Flume runs out to the sea, walking in the water, and were loosely following him. As we’re following him, he’s ahead of us and we’re drowning, losing Flume off to the distance (camera work) going up/down in the water demonstrating that feel of stress and lost as Flume is out there, adding that is the music’s clogged sounds going back and forth from uplifting & down-dropping. Revealing to us that we either lost Flume, he lost us, or he’s becoming something we can’t imagine. All in all though, amazing mixtape and glad he’s back.
6:15 - 9:00 I had goose bumps the entire time. This entire mixtape is the best release of the year so far. And some of flumes best work IMO. Edit: I've listened to this thing about 50 times all the way through, it still hasn't gotten old. Fucking masterpiece.
Last time you dropped skin you actually saved my life, i'm more lonely than i've ever been this year and you just dropped this. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, i've been trying to find motivation to create music or do anything at all and you're back. Thank you Thank you Thank you
Never give up! If you love music please keep working on it. I've had a rough ass past week but I promise if music wasnt here I wouldn't be here right now. You can do it!
i believe this is one of the best pieces of music ever created. i have probably listened to this mixtape over 100 times at this point and it is consistently better each time. it is great when you’re high but also great when you’re not. words cannot express how insane this shit is. additionally, i just would not want to be in the studio when flume was making this... can’t explain why.
Flume I have to meet you in person. You helped me get through some of the worst of times and I felt this down my spine much love spread love peace unity and respect man , you got me this is now one of my favorites albums I’ll know what to turn to when I am not in a good headspace
@@ThomTenre when Kanye dropped My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy it came with a video that accompanied the album, kind of like this one. Both are amazing albums.
Harley I love you so much and you have no idea how much you’ve impacted my life since I was 13, I’m turning 18 in two weeks so you will definitely be part of what defined my adolescence, I associate hundreds of good memories with your music. Sending love from Sydney 💞
Agree! I hope I'm not redundant by writing the following, I'm just trying to spread my wings; What do you think regarding this one? I've put my soul in it :D music.th-cam.com/video/W1vN44LG1CY/w-d-xo.html&si=8fMxaQK89a0zaFaE\
This came out when I was about halfway done rebuilding my z32 300zx in the garage. This mixtape was so inspiring to hear and see at the time, it gave me that drive to keep going. Finished the car last fall and have been enjoying it since, thanks Flume :)
9:00 is a snippet of his song ‘Quits’ with Reo Cragun, it says “Whole damn time we was loving undercover yeah” but distorted the fuck out of it, ‘Quits’ was released months later. The day I discovered this was one of the highlights of my life fr, flume is a fucking genius
@@suobset damn I noticed a few of those songs are just previous ones remixes by him Anyways they’re great Looking forward to the new album he announced😁😁
처음 나온순간 그냥 감격을 이루말하지 못하고 듣고 5년동안 이 믹스테이프 하나에 잡혀살아요 앞으로 죽을때 명반이란 무엇인가 하면 음악성과 예술성에 대한 기대치 100을 1000으로 뚫어버린 Flume 믹스테이프라고 답할거임 아직도 내가 생각하는 역대급 명반 1위... 너무 역대급이라 아직도 들음 전곡을 무조건 통으로 들어야만 되는 전설의 앨범 제 인생 앨범임 진짜 무조건 들어야하고 세련감의 역대급을 찍은 앨범이라 그냥 플룸 충성도 무한대를 찍어버린 그 앨범 그냥 나는 이 앨범만 매번 들어도 행복할꺼같음 동시대에 살아줘서 고마워요 플룸...
안녕하세요 ! 저는 발매 당시 벌써 5-6년전인거 같은데 그때 처음 듣고 정말 정말 눈물이 날정도로 엄청난 예술을 접한 기분이 들었습니다. 음악을 너무 다양하게 듣지만 이게 그당시에 저를 크게 충격에 그만 다른 음악이 귀에 들어오지 않았던때가 있습니다. 이떄 이후로 wonky나 익스페리멘탈에 타고 타서 지금은 괴상한(?) 음악도 사랑하게 되었습니다. 아무튼 너무 좋은 앨범인데 이렇게 공감되는 분을 만나서 반가워서 글을 남깁니다 ! 그럼 전 플룸의 인사를 받으로 또 갑니다
I come back year after year and still nothing gets better than this piece of art Flume somehow produced with his brain and a goddamn keyboard. GOAT all fucking day.
I really can't get over this, it's truly extraordinary. iv'e never seen it where the music was made for the visuals... It's usually the other way round. Also the way that both the music and visuals dance between real and surreal is so well done; it's subtle enough to just touch on uncanny, but is also at times completely mind blowing. Zawada is as much a genius as Flume. You're both just incredible.
Three years ago, I heard this mixtape for the first time. I was 15. It would be a crime to say that this mixtape not only changed how I see music and art in general, but also how I perceive the world around me. It’s that deep to me. I even have an ‘84 300zx of my own now, although I can’t say it’s as cool as “wormhole”😂 Thank you, Harley🙏🙏

It’s 38 minutes of music, with a visualizer created by Jonathan Zawada.
We hope you enjoy :)
I hope one day to share a stage with Flume👏🏻
we love you
Absolutely legendary, thank you 🙏
You're a legend mate, I bought your Flume Vinyl
Hi Flume. This is Ryan. This Mix is Dope. Thank You.
Not a word on new music in 2 years and now a whole mixtape at once. Dude you tryna kill me? 😂
Best way
he still has a lot of unreleased music, look up his youtube (documentaries, asia tour videos..)
Not just a mixtape. Mixtape plus a whole visual for it.
hahahahaha oh my god
I Wish All Flume Fans Could Be In One Space For This
Holy shit, imagine. The feels
Saw him live at Snowglobe a few years ago, and his set really was all the feels. I'd pay outrageous amounts to relive that 🙌🤘
Anna Gjefle same with decadence NYE set, ive seen flume a bunch of times but nothing could rival that steamy deep feel he brought us. kicking myself for missing snow globe
here we are
Wow I genuinely love you all
The first time I listened to this album I had been in New Zealand for two weeks and had to be at the US Embassy in Auckland and ended up having to go by myself.

Thank you flume for being such a pinnacle part of a very rough time in my life. You’ve truly saved my life with your ability to portray human emotion and what it means to be alive. Honored to be alive at the same time as you.
Relatable (in feelings, not actions, but still)
I haven't seen music match this well with visuals since Windows Media Player
Factual. And this is a perfect update
GFORCE
or the windows start sound and the logo
Or since the Xbox360 start up and its sound
Oh yeah, those were the days

honestly I'm just glad I can hear your music again.
I'm so happy right now!

Grammy nominated folks... Flume deserved it...
of course - he is the most creative electronic artist out there. Imo maybe the most creative artist at all.
agreed
Flume deserved the grammy, the Grammy's don't deserve Flume
Chemical Brothers were great but this project was better by far. Flume should have won.
Holy shit I didn't know!!
I feel like every time flume drops a new album or mixtape it sets a whole new mood to my life and how I see and experience the world . Flume just changed my life again ❤️

Big facts
3 yrs and I still come back to this album daily. It's amazing his greatest album was the result of creative fatigue.

Bruh this went from being just music to a whole audiovisual experience. Two thumbs up
Especially on lsd. Dayum
valentin ratibel damn near every flume video is
His music is beyond sound and really brings visuals together even without video
Praise this artist for not going mainstream and staying with his roots as well as going forward
Amen to that !
For real!!
Wish RL Grime would take a leaf out of Flumes book.
AMEN.
This didnt age that well imo
1. Play the video.

Seems so when you listen to these wonky rhythms haha
Time isn't linear anyway...

Seriously man, this guy is mind-blowing. Absolutely, amazingly original.
Tru.. pretty well produced sounds!
It wasn't that good 🤷
I'm glad I have my own sound and I'm glad Flume brings something fresh to the table. This sounds so new. A lot of people are gonna try copy this style...
Aren't these other peoples songs...
Probably one of the greatest production works in the history of music...
flume is the reason i contemplate still making music.

Earl Grimes Absolutely. Same when I discovered Shlohmo’s Bad Vibes. New chapter of something
Legitimately. When I discovered Flume, after he remixed You and Me, I totally changed my music style, which lead to my style of life, and I’m in a totally different spot than I ever thought I would be because of Harley
I just saw him at Red Rocks for the first time and I feel the exact same way. Life changing and mind blowing. He’s an absolute genius
Yeah on LsD
i feel yu brother ,, imean really
As trippy as flume’s always been, I really don’t even feel like this is trip fueled. Just pure imagination, matter of fact, total control of it. This tape was inspiring to me and left a lasting impression for sure
Debatable ahaha
tbh it's better when music is made without anything else. Gives the music more personality
totally trip fuelled
You're fucken high.
This is made and was made by and for tripping. There's no denying however that flume is a creative genius with the way he produces his sounds.
Flume is a master of suspense.

this shit just gave me a PTSD flashback to the p4k Kid A review
Ill have what your smoking buddy
Mad on point. There is a lack of rhythm I love it
well said brotha!
Yeah ait
this changed everything for me. musically and spiritually it just changed my whole thought process...i had never listened to flume before my homie showed me this. it is incredible. ty

This whole Mixtape was created just so Flume could flex his car
I can see why, it's a damn nice 300ZX.
The car has plates from Western Australia, also most (if not all) of the landscapes look like Western Australia. It's the state of birth of the video's director J. Zawada. Interesting place to grow up.
Flume is from Syd. Not his car.
@@roidroid I'm from WA and it looks very familiar with places I've been down south
This dude has a Tesla, so he's not really flexing :d
Hey atleast he has a car not a hot wheel like you have respect for flume
I did LSD with this mix.The trip was amazing. So much thank to Flume
That is quite the change in aesthetic he went for :O liking it tho!
No flowers!? O_o
He’s been mad growing as a person I guess 💕
It's awesome!
He went to burning man lmao
brendan shively HAHAHAHAHA WHAT I WAS THINKING
“Ecdysis” 2nd song , i looked up the meaning and its the process of shedding old skin
HE'S SHEDDING SKIN

I so respect how genuine this whole project is to you as an artist. This is going to spark an incredible wave of music. You should be proud of this dude, amazing stuff ♥️
Can confirm this is pretty shit.

The drop at the end of 'voices' going into 'MUD' has a special place in my heart
This is just phenomenal.
Yeah man
absolutely beautiful thank you flume we missed you
Ohhh felix!!
my interpretation:
it’s about Harley’s self discovery and journey up to this point.
in the documentary we learned he was under some pressure and expectations to release his second album, and it was called skin because he hadn’t been feeling like he was in his own skin.
Hi this is Flume
the many voices of Harley, different personalities and emotions over time represent his stages in his career but ultimately they are all one: Flume
Ecdysis 0:28
to me this is all the ideas in his head and the perfect contrast of nature vs manmade / organic, childlike vs industrial - what Jonathan Zawada’s art is about. we have pretty, harp-like twinkles contrasted with dirty industrial sounds, mixing and cutting back and forth. it’s his human nature vs his status as a famous and rich guy
High Beams 2:25
high energy, riding on a high.. living fast with fame, money, not stopping to look back. here we see him driving fast in an eccentric car. the car is a metaphor for something, perhaps his musical inspiration and creativity. he speeds off into the sunset - he could keep living fast but eventually he’ll burn out..
Jewel 5:35
he gets out of the car. i think the car represents his creation of music. so he gets out onto foot - he has to discover who he is as a person. Jewel may refer to his life itself - life is precious and maybe he wants to make sure he experiences everything there is, and not feel tied down to his music. we see him exploring, discovering, travelling across the lands.
Glitch name 8:48 maybe the name is some code with hidden meaning. maybe it’s just meant to mean confusion. This short track feels like a recalibration: he was travelling around the world, having fun and adventuring - this is a moment of recalibration to discovering the self rather than the world - triggered by that world discovery.
Dreamtime 9:21
who am I. one man in this vast openness. free but unsure who I am and where I should go. standing on top of the mountain - he has more than he dreamed of. he stops to think about this fame and power and what it means, how it has changed him, wondering how to best proceed.
11:38 is it cold in the water
he’s travelled far and wide and ends up in a small pit of mud digging up a body. the body is himself. - he is digging down to his core to figure out who he really is. he has an air of desperation.
How to Build a Relationship 16:25
unsure about this. We have a looping road which is the same but different each time. Cop cars, dusty air, dinosaurs, cop cars suspended in the air.. The signs say Relationship ⬆️. My guess is it’s about going around in circles with someone, not really getting anywhere. Maybe a relationship that is more trouble than it’s worth.
Servo (gas station) 19:30
This was really interesting, maybe my favourite part of the video. the first time I watched it I thought the car was a metaphor for his body - after driving so far in loops he has to stop and take care for his body. But in this clip I think the car is his mind. He takes a break to refuel, relax, clean the windscreen. The servo closes after he’s done. reminds me of a session of reflection at 2am sitting on the couch in silence while the rest of the world goes to sleep. He takes a small break before driving off again, cantering himself for the next episode...
Wormhole 23:38
back to that eccentric car. here the car is his music / musical creation / his mental. High energy quirky beats. then he pours soft drink (soda) into the tank and over the engine. recklessness? living fast in the high life, neglecting his health.. never mind, he has a motorbike. splashing around money. but...
Voices 26:00
the car is stuck, broken down. so he gets out again onto foot (2nd time). exploring in nature again. centering back to himself so he can get back on track
Mud 27:55
animals, nature. found the solution to get himself out of the rut.
Upgrade 29:23
back on the road. he took a lobster from nature. rips its claw off.. back to the neon life. big contrast from the nature of the last episode. back to living fast, expensive, drinking
Time 31:10
coolest visuals.. can’t tell if renderings of cell activity or microscope footage of cells filtered to look rendered. again that mix of organic vs manmade. vocals chopped up and mixed with synthesised sounds. along with Zawada’s art which focuses on that natural vs unreal.. very cool. not much in terms of story line but maybe that life is always going on outside of you. things you can’t see (cells) are happening, life is happening everywhere while you focus on your own life. maybe a stretch
Vitality 32:30
my idea for this one is: drugs. acid. filtered lens of the world (all visuals have a trippy filter) stopping to appreciate that aforementioned life that usually goes unnoticed. watching a fly. remembering your life and problems are small compared to all life.
Daze 34:10
everything up until now culminated. living fast and high with money / adventuring the world / discovering self / appreciating the small things in life///
i don’t know, it’s all a lot (in a daze), i just want to have fun. let loose
Amber 36:25
stepping out of the car again (3rd time)
more of the journey to discover the self. after the previous 2 he went back to old ways of living- driving fast in the eccentric car. this time he allows himself to be consumed by the honey/amber (nature).
spring 38:49
buries himself. i think he’s buying the version of himself affected by fame and money and living to other people’s expectations and standards. the third and final self discovery is the one that really changed him. the buried guy has the amber on his head - he is immortalising that version of himself. (amber preserves dead animals naturally)
symbolic drowning of the car. the car was his life with fame and money. ego. he’s getting rid of the worldly possession and running towards the ocean. to be in nature, to be his true self. detached from the ego
U need to be at the top comment
I completely disagree with everything you said.
Love this, I’m gonna give my take on the last 2 tracks (Amber & Spring) specifically the endings for each, both having Flume disappear.
Amber: this shows how the present Flume sought his past-self, the past Flume not knowing where to go and lost (reflected by his production with Skin) but that version of him is tired and destroyed so the present Flume, buries him signifying he’s different. He spurned himself and is like Spring.
Spring: It’s ending is quite thoughtful, Flume runs out to the sea, walking in the water, and were loosely following him. As we’re following him, he’s ahead of us and we’re drowning, losing Flume off to the distance (camera work) going up/down in the water demonstrating that feel of stress and lost as Flume is out there, adding that is the music’s clogged sounds going back and forth from uplifting & down-dropping. Revealing to us that we either lost Flume, he lost us, or he’s becoming something we can’t imagine.
All in all though, amazing mixtape and glad he’s back.
didn’t even mention the pro-ecological sustainability imagery, 6/10
damn you have a lot of time in your hands
6:15 - 9:00 I had goose bumps the entire time. This entire mixtape is the best release of the year so far. And some of flumes best work IMO.
Edit: I've listened to this thing about 50 times all the way through, it still hasn't gotten old. Fucking masterpiece.
I can fucking relate to that. Its everytime just such a cool experience listening to this. 😍
classic facts
Its amazing how he connects the songs so seamlessly. Its like listening to a symphony but with less complex musical structure and more sound design.
Totally. This is just a mixtape!! Can’t wait for the full album.
life changing music
Flume, if you only knew how much I admire your art ...
Really, my sincere congratulations!
Perfect mixtape from start to finish
When I heard the first drop I just burried my face in my palms. Unreal.
Preach brotha!
ITS BEEN 84 years... hell yes, god is back.
Take a moment to thank Flume that we can watch this for free
aint that the truth
Last time you dropped skin you actually saved my life, i'm more lonely than i've ever been this year and you just dropped this. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, i've been trying to find motivation to create music or do anything at all and you're back. Thank you Thank you Thank you
I'm so glad this was released at the perfect time for you. I hope you'll be okay in the end.
Gal thank you so much ❤️
Unexpected Who I will thank you 🖤
Never give up! If you love music please keep working on it. I've had a rough ass past week but I promise if music wasnt here I wouldn't be here right now. You can do it!
@Dregan Gillman
If you played this for someone from the 1800's they'd probably stroke out
Hahahahahahaha! Fuck that made laugh.. But so true :P
Holy shit!! LMFAO!!
Their was someone from the 1800s two years ago
Last time I met Mozart he said to me *"Wah Flume is such a great artist, it could be fun to make a song with him."*
If Mozart lived in the current era, he would probably make music like this
Nobody anywhere:
Flume: ima put every sound effect ever created over an acid trip of a movie and then bury myself at the end
Lsd while watching this shit. Would it be awesome or terrifying

My favorite electronic album to this day
3 years later and still my favorite thing Flume has done
Jonathan Zawada slaying the artwork as usual
This is some of the best electronic music I've heard in a while, this and the Matmos album are AMAZING!!!!
i believe this is one of the best pieces of music ever created. i have probably listened to this mixtape over 100 times at this point and it is consistently better each time. it is great when you’re high but also great when you’re not. words cannot express how insane this shit is. additionally, i just would not want to be in the studio when flume was making this... can’t explain why.
You speaking facts
but I really want to be with him 24/7 when he's in studio 🤣 so many secrets to discover.

The best part is that people are actually still gonna come back to this video yeaaaaaaars later when we all we be dead ❤❤
This is spiritual. Art Should Comfort the Disturbed and Disturb the Comfortable.
That’s a dope way of looking at it
What?
Flume I have to meet you in person. You helped me get through some of the worst of times and I felt this down my spine much love spread love peace unity and respect man , you got me this is now one of my favorites albums I’ll know what to turn to when I am not in a good headspace
You have good taste
Transcendental is the only word I can come up with. I'm 32 and when I was a kid I never imagined I would hear music like this. It's truly incredible.
This deserves to be trending in every galaxy in the universe. Flume forever
An absolute technical masterpiece. Beautiful granular synthesis.
most music i can imagine how they look like in the DAW, but Flume, no this is just wild.
thougt exactly the same, It must be so irratioanal and yet so comprehensive. Unbelievable
this is everything and more ❤️
Nick ♥️
listening to ur songs since im a lil kid
this is incredible. I wish i could of recorded my face when I first heard Amber, Flume is a god amongst men.
MayFlwr could have
strange, i find amber the worst track on here, i usually skip it
This is literally the peak of electronic music. I swear on my whole families life.
This will be a cult classic in 10 years. Mark my words, I'm glad we're alive to witness when this first dropped. This is the MBDTF of EDM.
Rather 808
What does MBDTF mean

These last 12 minutes have me in another world wow
If your into sound design you'll dEfiNiTely appreciate this
I'm into nothing but this.
Tbh its not a lot of sound designing, he basically just uses synplant most of the time, his real deal is his sampling and beats.
@@aryansongra8833 according to his AMA he only used Sylenth on this tape which is dope
Sound design itself is boring. He uses it for music.
His style is pure genius
This will go down in history as one of the greatest pieces of art that has ever been produced by the human race
I love how this entire mixtape all fits and blends together with visuals that do the same
Harley I love you so much and you have no idea how much you’ve impacted my life since I was 13, I’m turning 18 in two weeks so you will definitely be part of what defined my adolescence, I associate hundreds of good memories with your music. Sending love from Sydney 💞
Same Colorado USA been listening since I was 13, turnimg 18 later this year
same! since I was 13 I discovered flume with "on the top" when it had like 200k views lmaoo good times, thanks for making my teenage years so great
I saw the notification
I connect my phone to the speakers
I have to buy new speakers.
Thanks Flume
This album is a pure definition of creativity
Agree!
I hope I'm not redundant by writing the following, I'm just trying to spread my wings; What do you think regarding this one? I've put my soul in it :D

You are the best innovative artist, really steppin up the game. Thank you
This came out when I was about halfway done rebuilding my z32 300zx in the garage. This mixtape was so inspiring to hear and see at the time, it gave me that drive to keep going. Finished the car last fall and have been enjoying it since, thanks Flume :)
Now that is a great story, I respect ya)
I will always come back for 31:11

Just finished listening and why am i in tears?!?!? 😍
because its over aa A A
SPOILER
Because the car dies at the end
9:00 is a snippet of his song ‘Quits’ with Reo Cragun, it says “Whole damn time we was loving undercover yeah” but distorted the fuck out of it, ‘Quits’ was released months later. The day I discovered this was one of the highlights of my life fr, flume is a fucking genius
he foreshadowed Rushing Back as well :>
it was run through granular synthesis
What if I tell you 71M3 is Rushing Back??
@@suobset damn
I noticed a few of those songs are just previous ones remixes by him
Anyways they’re great
Looking forward to the new album he announced😁😁

안녕하세요 ! 저는 발매 당시 벌써 5-6년전인거 같은데 그때 처음 듣고 정말 정말 눈물이 날정도로 엄청난 예술을 접한 기분이 들었습니다. 음악을 너무 다양하게 듣지만 이게 그당시에 저를 크게 충격에 그만 다른 음악이 귀에 들어오지 않았던때가 있습니다. 이떄 이후로 wonky나 익스페리멘탈에 타고 타서 지금은 괴상한(?) 음악도 사랑하게 되었습니다. 아무튼 너무 좋은 앨범인데 이렇게 공감되는 분을 만나서 반가워서 글을 남깁니다 ! 그럼 전 플룸의 인사를 받으로 또 갑니다

"Voices" is gorgeous 😍 what a collaboration
I come back year after year and still nothing gets better than this piece of art Flume somehow produced with his brain and a goddamn keyboard. GOAT all fucking day.

Hahahaha so true
Well?
Legend says he’s still lost in flumes abyss
we understand you.
Wow. That was an experience. I will reach my final form when I see God (Harley) perform his new set for the first time this summer at Osheaga.
I really can't get over this, it's truly extraordinary. iv'e never seen it where the music was made for the visuals... It's usually the other way round. Also the way that both the music and visuals dance between real and surreal is so well done; it's subtle enough to just touch on uncanny, but is also at times completely mind blowing. Zawada is as much a genius as Flume. You're both just incredible.
Flume has just written history with this Album.
Its so Powerful and Emotional.
A truely gamchanger!
i want to say 2.8million is even underrated for how good this is.
Right!

Three years ago, I heard this mixtape for the first time. I was 15. It would be a crime to say that this mixtape not only changed how I see music and art in general, but also how I perceive the world around me. It’s that deep to me.
I even have an ‘84 300zx of my own now, although I can’t say it’s as cool as “wormhole”😂
Thank you, Harley🙏🙏
I was 16 when when it first came out and now my life is separated by pre and post HTIF xD
