Flying Lotus – Cosmogramma (7.3/10)

This third installment from the nephew of jazz legends Alice and John Coltrane is his best composition to date.  As a manifesto of electro-trip-hop-jazz fusion, Cosmogramma is commendable.  (As something you’d actually like to listen to on the regs, possibly not for everyone)  Occasionally, it will stumble into sounding like a semi-clusterfuck of beats and sound effects, but only occasionally.  For the most part, ‘gramma is gritty yet waxed smooth, both urban and sleek.  All in all, it’s hip and I dig.
