I really don't get Flying Lotus. I've listened to the album several times, but I'll probably never listen to it again starting 1/1/11. I'm not sure it makes my top 50 of the year. The Ping Pong song however rules.

You should check out his BBC Essential mix. It's what got me really into Flying Lotus.

This is pre-Cosmogramma, mind you.

I'm with you, Gunther. I tried and tried, but to my ears there seems to be nothing going on.

I'm pretty sure 'High Violent' was a Naptional album.

haha. High Violent would have been such a misleading album title for all that melancholy.

I have 'Tell It to the Volcano', and yeah that sure is an album that I own.
I saw a Where's Waldo themed video for one of the songs on 'Fortress' that was cute, but not cute enough to make me go buy it. They remind me of Wheatus. Anyone else remember Wheatus? Exactly.
It must be so much easier to get attached to mediocre music if you don't pay for it.

i mean, i guess it's true. i get all my cds from the radio station so i technically don't pay for it either.
i think fortress is incredibly successful as a catchy pop album. and it has enough changes, depth, and great production to be interesting for more than a hot minute.
