Starting on 5 September 2011 and finishing on 4 September 2012, I will listen to an album every day and chronicle my findings on this blog and on twitter (@therealtomsmith)

18. Jet Age Of Tomorrow - The Journey to the 5th Echelon
This is the second album from the group Jet Age of Tomorrow, who themselves, are part of Los Angeles hip-hop collective 'Odd Future Wolf Gang Kill Them All' (Often referred to as OFWGKTA or, the easier, Odd Future).
To classify this is a straight up hip-hop album wouldn't really do this justice. It's primarily instrumentals but there are a few guest appearances from various Odd Future affiliates but the best thing about is the sonic landscape that producers Matt Martians and Hal Williams create. Imagine Neptunes production x Herbie Hancock x a 1950's sci-fi film score and this should give you a pretty decent idea of what this album sounds like.
I don't want to mention too much in case anyone wants to have a listen, but I highly recommend this album. The first album, Voyager, is really worth a listen too.
Until tomorrow.....
