Flying Lotus: "The Hendrix of his Generation" ?


I'm listening to cuts from Cosmogramma and wondered why I haven't heard of this before. I'm not sure what to make of it. I wouldn't describe the sound as lyrical or mellifluous but it contains some of the most interesting sounds I have heard in a while. I assume some people bought the cd out of curiousity due to the Coltrane connection (Alice Coltrane is a distant relative) but it can stand on its own merits.

Can anyone recommend other releases from FL?

Hendrix is dead and gone for 40 years. So I think it is a hate statement that no one new can come forth. I really like it when people like Flying Lotus like to shake things up. This is a very innovative hybrid of jazz, hip hop and dance beats. If you are in LA, this music is featured at the Low End Theory @Airliner and the Detroit Bar in Costa Mesa. Other Djs include Daedelus and the Gaslamp Killer.
I would also check out the neo James Brown funk attack that is Janelle Monae's The ArchAndroid. Very innovative stuff as well.
Coincidentally last night I listened to Cosmogramma and Nosaj Thing's Drift back to back. Same genre of music but very different musical influences. I like them both. Burial, who was mentioned above, also gets my recommendation.
Bongofury...I'm confused about the promoting Flying Lotus since 1996 statement. Do you mean 2006?
