FlyLo makes no attempt to disguise his influences or history. A self described member of "the Nintendo generation," this record is teeming with glitchy blips and beeps that evoke the 8-bit classics, but they're drenched in swirling synth lines and chopped apart beyond recognition. I would like to resist mentioning that he's the grand-nephew of Alice Coltrane, but his clear affinity for jazz arrangements (and relentless defiance of genre restrictions) almost forces my hand, whether it was derived from his relatives or not.
Los Angeles strikes a perfect balance between establishing a consistent (dank) sound, while never growing tiresome. Think London-based dubstep artist Burial with hip-hop leanings and a lot more variation. Colorful synthetic swirls, drum breaks, and vocal samples fall into a cinematic groove on every track, only to be deconstructed again (often in less than three minutes).
drawing from its influences and predecessors to create something in between glitch, hip hop, and free jazz. More One Word Extinguisher than Donuts, moreMadvillainy than Beauty & The Beat , Flying Lotus puts together a variety of contemporary hip hop styles to create a swirling mix of fuzz, beats, and melody.
Established melodies reconstruct into minimalist beats, beats get thrown into the sounds of space.
Track like "Comet Course" take fuzzed out downtempo and evolve them into the glitch of "Orbit 405" (which really sounds like things in orbit),
the R&B of "Roberta Flack" shakes its way into the simplicty of "Auntie's Lock/Infintum."
The record is consistent in its deconstruction and reconstruction, never letting the moment get too organic or human. Is that supposed to be like the city it's named after? Possibly.
This is one of the standout albums of 2008.

when the image appears, focus completely only on the letters, when the screen fades to white, you get a perfect 'positive' image of flylo...works best if all the lights are out, have your screen maximized,
