Review by William Grant

This is no Oscar night 2003; an evening dominated by victories for the final instalment of the meticulously adapted Lord of the Ri»

limited (850 copies) 12" - previous eps have sold out pretty much immediately, so don't sleep. on 'la ep 3 x 3', flylo and a few friends explore the psychedelic ambience and dream-like elegance that brought such a vital depth to the album's soul. two new flying lotus compositions, 'endless white' and 'spin cycles' display his deft touch and unrivalled eye for beauty. breakage's testament turns gonjasufi's quiet desperation into a tribal battle cry. but it is perhaps the collaboration with harpist rebecca raff that is most striking, revisioning 'auntie's harp' into a swirling symphony of rolling arpeggios and piercing electronics.
