5...according to our Brian on Thu 16 Sep, 2010.

The electronic world needs Flying Lotus right now more than ever. He's been branded some kind of wonderkid, and in my mind that judgement is well valid, like Richard James before him, like Squarepusher. On this new gorgeously presented EP he can can noodle but it's all wrapped up in this hyper melodic & dreamy soundscapery that you cannot helped being yanked in by! Check the breathtaking delights on offer! The beats just tumble, flip 'n' clatter, synth lines wander deliriously into extended excitable codas & stoned giddyness! This guy does fresh, genuinely exciting shit - his LPs are each a beautifully constructed sonic collage, his EPs are more comprised of spiritually enriching, deftly zen club tracks. A true master, don't listen to the bores that dis him for being all over the shop & cluttered. He's proper future jazz braindance with an adventurous, yet everyman appeal.

a certain collector’s item.
