"Toss away all of your preconceptions regarding conventional song structure elements such as time, melody, rhythm and key. This collection of chaotic compositions is extraordinarily compelling. The often contradictory blend of dissonance and harmony creates an unsettling soundscape that sometimes leaves you with a feeling of wonderment. When you think you understand how a song may progress, it takes a mind-boggling twist, and then contorts again into a knot before you have time to comprehend what transpired. Brilliant."

Flying Lotus' "1983" was one of my favorite releases of 2006. With Reset he builds on the same type of sound scapes he was working with on that album only now he adds a much more prominent bass and drum workout into every song. It is an interesting take on his previous sound and it makes the longevity of my interest in him stretch a little longer. This is excellent instrumental hip hop up there with the greats like Shadow, Madlib, and PB Wolf. Check it out.

" Describing everything contained in Fantastic Damage is practically impossible. Suffice to say, it’s one of the most engrossing and innovative hip hop albums I’ve ever heard, and it gets better with every listen. Its one weakness is “Dr. Hellno and the Praying Mantis,” which fails to astound on the production (repetitive) or the lyrical content (volleys of misogyny from Vast Aire, El-P, and another rapper). But this hardly detracts from the stunning post-apocalyptic world of the rest of the album. El-P is a true visionary: this may be the Kid A of hip hop."
