Flying Lotus.

[rainbow]

Ive been getting into Flying Lotus lately, and i haven't heard him spoken about here, so i thought i'd make some peoples aware of him.

I think an obvious comparison would be drawn between his music and that of J Dilla and Madlib.

But in my opinion, the instrumental albums he makes have fair more texture and atmosphere than either of the aforementioned.

I think a closer comparison would be with Deadelus ( http://www.moteldemoka.com/moka/dearlydeparted.mp3 )

He started off by making beats for Adult Swim.

He is the great nephew of Alice Coltrane.

He has two full length albums, 1983 and Los Angeles





Both are really worth checking out.

Anyway, here's some samples of his work.

His remix of Lightworks (LTWX) is banging.

He also does a pretty decent remix of a Lil Wayne track...

I'll post his albums in the vatican section in due course, and anyone else, feel free to pm me for a further sample of his work.

I can't recommend him highly enough to those into electronica/experimental/weird hip hop or anything like that.

[Jens Stoltenberg]

yeah, he's pretty awesome.
If you like his music you should check out his collaboration with samiyam called 'flyamsam' as well.
Samiyam's solo work is pretty good as well.
Defo on par with flylo to say the least.

Yeah ive checked out Simiyam's EP.

Thought it was ok.

Yeah he's really good.

Im addicted to his most recent album Los Angeles.

I know it's difficult for people here to listen to new shit, but i figure if i put a thread up with a few links, then maybe a few more people will check him out.

Either way, it's their loss in the end.

Can't wait for his next 2 Ep's to come out.

[J-DON]

I got the Los Angeles album and its a pretty good listen. I gotta check out 1983 though.

[11th Chamber]

From the tracks I heard from him, I really liked it. Sounds like Dilla never left

Altho I also heard a couple that I wasent feeling. Maybe a little bit too experimental



Gotta check his albums/EP's

[SHEEPISH LORD OF CHAOS]

yeah Flying Locus is a dope as hell producer he got allot originality to him

[Ghost In The 'Lac]

He also does a pretty decent remix of a Lil Wayne track...

Or at least, his all time favorite producers IS, which is crushing Battymans illusions of the world, he cant accept it now......he HAS to become a Weezy fan

[rainbow]

Uh?

I hardly ever even post in there, i think ive said wayne is terrible (which he is) on a couple of occasions...

Some people just listen to music they like... uhm, because they fucking like it.

I don't just not listen to tracks because he's on them, i'll give them a shot.

You have an opinion on Flying Lotus GHOSTLACED?

No doubt it will involve some comparison to Madlib and a mention of Madlib's superiority.

Flying Lotus is probably a better MC than Madlib.

^^ can dig it..

[vahacris]

hes a very good producer imo. theres many more talented rappers but as an producer hes always on point. i bumped Los Angeles album numerous times, shit iz dope, similar imo to ninja tune albums, which are always orginal........

but here on wucorp, sound schack is all about loving/hating weezy/50 cent. like tsa would say - i dont know him so hes weak.

Malib has never been considered much of an MC. Even he has said that.

But Its gonna take alot more than what Iv heard from Lotus so far to even put him at Madlib's level
