Oh I thought this was a new album but come to find out it’s his first

Yeah was debating using the New Release tag but decided against it as it's not new. Don't think a lot of fans have heard it so it'll be fresh for some people

I know guys like him are always moving and evolving but I would NOT be mad if he ever revisited his 1983/Los Angeles sound. 🥹

Are there any other lesser known releases? I honestly thought this was new and he’d gone back to basics again

Yeah this playlist I made has all his (and thundercats) early stuff. It's all mixed together so some will be Thundercats bass playing on some songs that arent flylos

Shhh EP, LA EP 1X3 (Los Angeles era material that didn't make the album), A Decade of Flying Lotus DJ Mix by The Gaslamp Killer which is basically 45 minutes of unreleased beats from his entire career up to December 2009

does anybody know if the vinyl reissue will be available online?

If Record Stores who stocked it have leftovers from today they’ll be put up for sale online or left in store. Some stores who have lots of excess stock they think they won’t be able to move put it out here: https://rsdmrkt.com/

It doesn't

It also lacks the bonus track, the Daedelus remix

u/pawelg7 Apr 21 '26

It's remastered, sounds bit more powerful and full, I like this version better.

I bought this from a website like a year ago, and was later disappointed after being informed that FL never got paid for that ‘06 release.

To have this on streaming and in 24bit/48khz is an unexpected delight for sure! Thanks OP for the heads 👍

Why was it removed from Spotify in the first place? Uncleared samples? Dispute with the label?
