Product Description

BBC Review

Is Flying Lotus the most interesting artist working in hip hop today? With so many contenders, it would be a silly claim to make, but his work is undoubtedly fascinating. Expectations are high after the wonderfully imaginative album Cosmogramma, released earlier this year. The title of this seven-track, 20-minute EP suggests it's a companion piece to the album; which is, in fact, the case.

Opener Clay is a busy, sci-fi workout, the whole thing threatening to pull itself apart at the seams such is the pressure of the heavily textured rhythm. The impact is psychedelic and well-night irresistible. The charmingly titled (and only slightly tempting) Kill Your Co-Workers spends nearly a minute in lighthearted toy-town mode before speeding into the distance on 8-bit video game sonics that recall Cosmogramma's prologue, Clock Catcher.

Pie Face maintains the frenetic pace before Time Vampires slows things down for a busy, trippy couple of minutes that are the musical equivalent of the morning after a really heavy night. High-pitched flutes dance in wayward fashion until a whole pack of knitting needles, some one-note humming and what might just be a chorus exclaiming "Cheese!" arrives to divest itself of Jurassic Notion/M Theory.

Camera Day is hazy and drenched in woozy sunlight, then Physics for Everyone! wraps things up with a hypnotic and all too brief rhythm/melody workout. Pattern + Grid World may sound like an addendum to Cosmogramma, but it's no less essential for that.

--Colin Buttimer

Format:MP3 Download
Quite simply, if you've heard anything or have been following flying lotus' concerts, you've heard every song on this EP. They're finally fleshed out into mp3s, and are obtainable! This album shows the rawer synth side of flylo, creating songs that have the same push as parisian goldfish did, or in Cosmogramma's case, Computer Face. I personally think the album is great, and look forward to his next LP.

not bad 2 Dec 2010
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
FlyLo takes a slightly more impressionistic approach to this tide-me-over EP. Its loose-limbed abstractions upon leftfield instrumental hip-hop are pleasent enough, but FL might need to up his game a little if he expects to keep up with the likes of James Blake and Loops Haunt in the new open pastures of beats n' bass.

Good album, warped vinyl 31 Oct 2010
By Eric Lyday - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Vinyl|Amazon Verified Purchase
The title says it all. It's a great little collection of songs from Flying Lotus. If you're already a fan, get on it! And if you don't know, this would make a great entry point for new listeners. I bought it on vinyl and it arrived a bit warped, but still plays well enough. Just looks like a rollercoaster ride for my needle (which in a way works visually with the album). But yes, it comes with a badass poster,mp3 files and a cover meant to be seen on a album sleeve. Be forworned however that mail isn't the most reliable as far as damage to the disc is concerned.
