100 Greatest Songs of The 00’s #70 Flying Lotus – Riot

Released: 2008

Excerpt from the long form review of Flying Lotus’ debut album Los Angeles.

“Riot is the sound of a fight on Tatooine between dysfunctional robots and empty Storm Trooper helmets – and it’s the best track Two Lone Swordsman never made.”

Of the album as a whole: “Senses after all seem pointless here; Los Angeles is like a flotation tank supreme, dislocated, disobeying the laws of whatever. Here and there parameters of the normal lie around, as casually abandoned as artefacts in J.F. Sebastian’s house.”
