Flying Lotus - You're Dead

You're Dead is the latest album by electronic artist Steven Ellison (Los Angeles, CA) a.k.a. Flying Lotus. As a whole, the album plays through like an episodic soundtrack, spiraling jazz motifs and haunting soundscapes from baroque thrillers (the song, Turtle incorporates a sample of Piume Di Cristallo, composed by Ennio Morricone for Dario Argento's film, "The Bird with the Crystal Plumage").
