i'm really torn. i've listened to one of his mixes and it was pretty special. but his album kinda bored me.
I want to like him, but ditto on being bored by his album.

I like some of the indiviual components of his tracks, and even the overall feel of some, but yeah ditto. the mix i heard started off great, and then went nowhere fast.

100% Fake 'live' show though. His transitions are already done and he just mimes and twists some eq/effects knobs.

and he has a King Ghidorah toy. that's what's up.
i actually like just about everything he's done that i've heard except the 1983 LP and the Jose James track.

controversial = long discussion on "wonky" thread about how great / not great he is. also he got essential mix of the year, but if you read the comments box on BBC it was very contentious.

los angeles was one of my favorite albums from last year and i think that essential mix is ace, too. i had no idea it got voted as the best.
i like this guy's music because it is unsettled/free and joyous (not in some kind of religious way; it sounds like he's having a great time), but it also sounds totally laser-focused.

Los Angeles was the best record of 2008 in my opinion.
But I'm sort of a Flying Lotus junkie. I listen to his complete output pretty thoroughly and frequently... but I'm from LA and he's the first local act I'd gotten way excited about in a really long time. Anyway, I have 4 different mixes of his and they are titled as follows:The Black FistLive on Future Roots Radio 1/30/09Essential Mix on Radio 1BBC Radio 1 Sept '07
and they are all great.
Don't believe the 1983 disappointment in this thread, that's a really solid album. Grab the following in addition to the above mixes:1983Reset EPLos AngelesLos Angeles 1x3 EP
Finally, and this can both help or hinder my efforts of persuasion here, but I recently had a nice little streak of using acid once a month for the last 3 months. Every time I just put on a ton of Flying Lotus and it really, really delivered.

i'd been avoiding this dude for some reason, and i haven't heard a whole record (just some random youtube shit and a couple of cuts from the upcoming album), but i'm sold now. seems like he's good at both the post-dilla drum programming thing and the nu-synth thing. his remix of 'reckoner' is great too.

He mimes his live shows. It's pretty ridiculous. All premixed and he just works the filters and delays, then poses like jesus. I thought the Chemical Bros. and Oakenfold were the bottom of the miming and posing possee but FlyLo is right up there with the worst of them. Either make your entire set live on stage or don't pose when you twist the delay nob.

cant decide about the duke cover. it seems like one of those covers where they think purely by slowing a song down it becomes deeper. which of course is false. the original actually has more emotional depth by being fast.

I don't like this anywhere near as much as Cosmogramma, which had that whole enormous swirl feel to it even when it felt pretty loose and unstructured. This one feels more straightforward and somehow duller at the same time and I still don't feel like it's really going anywhere.
I wish he'd indulge his soundtracky tendencies more and his jazz influences less often. This one feels really murky.

Had not heard "FLOTUS" until today. Really amazing track.
As far as his albums go, while Cosmogramma and UtQC are good, and his sound is certainly evolving, I don't think that either follow-up is as good as his debut. Los Angeles is still my fav.
