An album that, alongside the German giants of the past, does not disgrace at all and, for reasons unknown to me, does not even feel like an anachronistic and 'tribute' reheated soup.

Flotus is a modern album that tells of this much-maligned today, and ultimately confirms that hip hop culture was the last of the avant-gardes deserving attention.
