    Bright, booming and unhinged in its musical complexity, Big Mama is electronic music pushed to its most futuristic and utopian possibilities. [Apr 2026, p.58]

    These are simply ideas, a couple that resemble songs, a couple that resemble interludes, that hopefully signal a return to dedicated musicianship for the artist in the near future. Its vibrancy and warmth is as pronounced as it is well executed, and for those who can forget the mystique of Flying Lotus for a minute and appreciate what he’s trying here, you might find yourself dazzled.

    BIG MAMA is as passable as it is forgettable, a workout that somehow seems to burn no calories.
