Flying Lotus - Los Angeles (Vinyl)

Descriere

Los Angeles is the second studio album by American electronic music producer Flying Lotus, released on July 9, 2008 by Warp Records. The cover was designed by British graphic design agency Build featuring photography by Timothy Saccenti, and the album title is named after Flying Lotus' place of birth. 'Los Angeles' is a deep, soulful, intricate album where glints of detail are unearthed to make this opus richer on every listen. Of course, its no secret that Lotus is the product of a rich musical lineage and Auntie's Harp serves not only as a collaboration with his majestic aunt (ALICE COLTRANE), but also a more fitting tribute. Testament arrives as the intro to Fly Lo's collaborator GONJA SUFI in all his mage-like splendor. Like DR. DRE & SNOOP DOGG, TIMBALAND & MISSY or BETH GIBBONS & GEOFF BARROW, the pairing of a pioneering producer & entirely distinct vocalist/songwriter is a force to be reckoned with. The feeling is only amplified with the closing opus Infintum. Enveloping vocalist LAURA DARLINGTON in a track that bridges GAINSBOURG/BARDOT territory with BROADCAST and shape-shifting post-modern R&B, it is a sublime bookend to Brainfeeder and serves as the perfect FIN to Los Angeles epic journey.
