专辑简介
RELEASE NOTES:
Los Angeles resident Flying Lotus brings beats with a
cinematic flare: "I see these tracks as little short films
that play in my head." Flying Lotus is a free spirit: "I have
this beautiful lemon tree in my backyard, and on a sunny day
the light shines through. Little things like that inspire
me." Flying Lotus is a Coltrane: "My greatest influences are
my family, I'm lucky to have been around so many accomplished
musicians." And most importantly, Flying Lotus is a
visionary; get ready to meet your favorite new producer.
From note one, there is a feeling of something new and
exciting at play here. Keyboards wobble and wiggle with
mutated funk, skewed rhythms grind underneath, warped samples
play hide-and-seek with the beat- in other words, that "next
level shit" artists are always talking about? This is it.
While the title 1983 may conjure images of parachute pants
and asymmetrical 'dos, the '83 Lotus envisions isn't the
typical retro cheese covered by VH1 specials. This is Blade
Runner, Bambaataa, the Bomb Squad, and Basquiat. This is the
musical future Prince was dreamin' about- forgive us if we go
astray. Just listen to "Orbit Brazil": synths float into
space with melodic optimism, grimed out in a dystopian sheen.
By track's end, you really feel like you're at zero gravity,
peering through your space mask at the sweaty Brasilian
booties bumpin' (it's cause they're listening to Lotus).
And yeah, Lotus is a part of the Coltrane lineage, but don't
write this off as nepotism, cause he ain't riding on anyone's
coattails. But, if you really MUST make the correlation
between A Love Supreme and A Lotus Supreme, dig: If Alice and
John had lived in the era of SP-303s and laptops, they'd be
flirting with the same muse as Lotus is.
Flying Lotus IS a visionary. He is tapping that well of
creative juice that seems to float in the ether for certain
artists every generation, carving his own path through the
wilds of the beat. By the time you read this, Lotus will
already be making the music everyone and their robot will be
biting through 2030. Like most natural talents, though,
Lotus' aspirations are simple: "I just want to keep having
fun."
