Flying Lotus' High Score

Tuesday, May 20th, 2008 – running time 07:56
Instrumental beat-poet Flying Lotus pays tribute to vintage video games and cartoon culture.

Steven Ellison, our favorite sculptor of hazy, spacy laptop beats, is no stranger to the comforting bleeps and bloops of the Nintendo generation. He name-checks Mortal Kombat 2 as an influence and credits the Cartoon Network's Adult Swim with giving him his first big break. Here, 'FlyLo' shows off his fluid style as he switches with ease between discussing musical legends in the family (great-aunt Alice Coltrane, cousin Ravi Coltrane) and kicking ass on Street Fighter and Galaxian.
