Feels like you are floating in a vat of futuristic life-giving goo - very dreamy and full of wonderment. You should really give it a listen. - Jonasty (Berkeley)
the second ep is not as strong as the first. but the concept continues, and i wait with bated breath the final chapter of flying lotus’s los angelian opus. a well played moved which used the fortunate interest of warp to boom blast five discs of pure lotus satisfaction all across the world. i only wish the order of release had been in reverse. - Kyle Kyte (Hollywood)
