Review

Spin (p.98) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "Flying Lotus' spaced-out visions are the album's trump card, a computerized mesh of hip-hop beats at dub-like tempos."
The Wire (p.47) - "[W]hen Alice Coltrane's harp and Gonja Sufi's rich as molasses vocals appear towards the close, they merge seamlessly with the intoxicating atmospheres of a genuinely distinctive album."
Mojo (Publisher) (p.64) - Ranked #47 in Mojo's "The 50 Best Albums Of 2008" -- "Flying Lotus has inherited his great-aunt Alice Coltrane's gift for cosmic composition."
Clash (magazine) (p.63) - Ranked #36 in Clash's "The 40 Best Albums of 2008" -- "2008's most instrumentally interesting hip-hop record..."
Record Collector (magazine) (p.104) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "LA-based Steven Ellison works with a collage of electronic, indie and hip-hop beats....A cacophony of noise, beats and hip-hop vocals placed well back in the mix combine to evoke a dream-state confusion."

Title Note

Flying Lotus is the musical alias of Steven Ellison, great-nephew of Alice Coltrane and creator of some of the Cartoon Network's wackier promo music for the cult series Adult Swim. Odd personal details notwithstanding, FlyLo (as he is known to fans) is first and foremost a hip-hop producer; especially if the definition of hip-hop stretched to included fractured beats and a pervasive free-jazz influence. LOS ANGELES, the young producer's debut, is steeped in slippery analog electronics, anchored by the loose, swing-heavy boom-bap of contemporary masters such as J Dilla and Madlib.

Editorial Reviews

TOWER.COM REVIEW

Album Review

The first moments of Flying Lotus’ Los Angeles come on as lush analog waves, just distorted enough to sound like a faded memory of something you once heard on a radio from across a room. Essentially, it’s instant transportation. Whether it is forward or backward in time, you’ll never know as the shounds of the record leap reckllessly into the future while keeping a sly glance back towards the classics of every genre.In this case, establishing a timeframe is not nearly as important as establishing the setting...which, as the album’s title may have tipped you off, is none other than southern California. Like Flying Lotus’ full-length Warp debut, Los Angeles and its surrounding areas are studies in deep contrast: haves and have-nots, glitter and grime, sunshine and shadow, whimsy and tension.
