Flying Lotus – Pattern+Grid World

Stunning vinyl, great package. Doesn't include the original poster however, it doesn't make mention of it on the stickers neither. Not sure if anyone else's sleeves and/or inner-sleeves are slightly split on the sides due to either rattling around during transit or the packaging material itself... but other than that, it's a great collectors piece!

Just so everyone is aware there is definitely more than 1 version of this release. Mine has textured glossy eyes that you can feel. I've seen copies at the store that is a flat basic sleeve

No poster in the copy I picked up. :( Does anyone know if it was limited?

I would say if you are a big FlyLo fan, you should definitely buy. A lot of fun beats on this.
The EP is great addition to the collection.

I know from the ratings this has received that many will disagree, but this EP was a big disappointment to me, compared to Flying Lotus' earlier works. There's some clever stuff on here, sure, and some of the tracks are OK, but on the whole, the rich atmospheres and wonky percussion patterns of old have been replaced by silly blippy beats and atonal noise. Perhaps its just too challenging for me, but even the track titles hint at a change of mindset, being a bit "silly" too, so this reminds me of the period when Aphex , Mu-Ziq, Wagon Christ et al went off into the wilds of silliness in the late 90s, and I didn't really get off on that stuff either. So, if you haven't bought this but you love his earlier stuff, I would suggest you at least take a listen first - you might like it, but it may not be what you expect.
