The LAx3 remix of the Los Angeles album also didn't do too much for me, but coming across Tea Leaf Dancers -- the opening track on Reset -- While checking out my Pandora trip hop station was enough of an impetus to search out album immediately. I still have a hard time getting past the opening track, but as a whole the 6 song EP really is a gem.

As for the reset ep, Massage Situation is a classic, possibly the best track on the ep. You're right though, his earlier work is kinda kit or miss.
If you haven't already, you should give his Pattern+Grid World Ep a listen. It was released after cosmogramma and is probably my favorite FlyLo release (which certainly means something coming from me because I absolutely love Los Angeles and Cosmogramma).
The little flute sound in this song makes me wanna ****. It's so f
ucking jazzy
