Flying Lotus…The Soundsphere Generator
by eccentric1 on Mar.28, 2009, under Eccentric
I use the term soundsphere generator (made up or not) to describe Flying Lotus because, just to call him a beat producer DOESN’T CUT IT AT ALL!!!!
The radio knows they need to be ashamed of themselves for letting a double banger like “Rickshaw” slide with NO AIRPLAY…such a calamity!!! No fear, eccentricsounds.com will save the day!!! What can I say…this one (Rickshaw) unapologetically comes out the gate gobstomping your hip-hop senses!!! You gotta excuse me , I am Flying Lotus nut!!! I am on the plane in 1st class and he got me mean-mugging (not in an upset way, but in a you’re-not-stopping-my-groove-armada-way-eventhough-I’m-in-1st-class) and head bobbing.
He’s an amazing cat…he’s only about 25 or 26, but his musical abilty is 125 or 126. He kinda cheated a lil bit in a good way. His great aunt was John Coltrane’s wife…Alice Coltrane. His beats are ultra ridiculous, but don’t take my word for check him out:

Are you trying to tell me that you spit fire?
April 11th, 2009 on 11:02 am
In a way yes. The song moved me to write a poem (sleeping giant-metaphor for my creativity-it feels so big inside of me when it awakens in me)….good your not sleeping!

…OMG that damn Natural Selection is the shit man. It has a bit of D&B feel to it without being too over the top. NICE…

May 19th, 2009 on 11:14 am
Umm more like having anxiety attakcs, financial aid attacks, last week of exams, bacculaureate, family members from T Dot calling at the last minute “imma come to the grad” and so much more. So I’ve been composing my thoughts waiting for sanity to return and decerning whether or not I wanna sell my kid to the highest bidder! Whew, okay now please post me some music so i can chill the *&^%$#@#%%^ Out!!…pleeze
