Flying Lotus Los Angeles (2-LPs)

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."
"[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."
"Ellison's percussive arrangements here make nonsense of the divisions between electronica hip hop and jazz..."
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."
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."
Clash (Magazine) (p.63) - Ranked #36 in Clash's "The 40 Best Albums of 2008" -- "2008's most instrumentally interesting hip-hop record..."
