I remember discovering this man from Adult Swim. Everytime that little bump that played message situation came on, I would always have to stop whatever I'm doing and listen. I was so glad when I actually found out the name (Adult Swim doesn't credit him when they use his music, its a shame, it was almost half a year before I figured out the name was Flying Lotus).
I'm really not sure what to classify his music as, I personally don't care. I tend to just describe the music and influences instead of trying to throw a pointless label on an artist. Flying Lotus definately has alot of jazz, electronic, maybe even free jazz (some tracks such as Sleepy Dinosaur have a complex, loose and free feel). A hip-hop and trip-hop influence is also definately there.
