James Blake Appreciation Thread

[fornogoodreason]

i got it and showed him this thread think he is gonna put a link up soon

[Sonika]

I really love James Blake when he isn't trying to be a singer/songwriter

Can't decide if I like the original Maybes or the James Blake remix more, they're both massive!

[Trifficspurs]

met the guy a couple of times, we have mutual friends as he grew up from my town in North London.
Nice dude, very unassuming and humble. wouldn't take a Jaegerbomb off me at the time as he 'doesn't drink that much'....

But yeah - good guy, good music. Didnt mind his album...

[Jurrecane]

His album really growed on me. Really feeling it now!

[antipode]

its a fucking classic



LEVELZ

also




okay????

[topmo3]

yuh james blake runnning tingz, time goes by but the tunes stay fresh.. air and lack thereof still amazes me, a real game changer and a true classic in electronic music as a whole. is it just a hoax that it was the first tune he produced??

[skwiggo]

james blake is quality. do not care about the hipster ejaculation + subsequent backlash at all, for me the man has definitely stayed consistent since air and lack thereof. only thing i didn't really like was the bon iver collab but thats just cause i don't like bon iver.

this is criminally overlooked though:

only looked at the last few posts of the page.

i'm glad you like it as much as me though. no one ever seems to sparing the horses any love (unlike air and lackthereof). order/pan are really underrated too imo

I love sparing the horses. Such a good 12", but not feeling Order / Pan.

[Sonika]

sparing the horses is quite possibly james blake's best work to date imo

Nahh Changes Harmonimix. And I still the A side is stronger on that 12

[Sonika]

all good tunes


I like some of his remixes too - the mount kimbie one, the untold one

[antipode]

just got the LP on wax, didn't even know they pressed it.

[topmo3]

what?? of course they did. big track

[antipode]

Dude has come a long way since I started this thread!
Mad respect.

[thatjsound]

Congratulations and all, but needs to stop singing imo. Notgin wfong with his voic, I just miss that production

[antipode]

I like both, def in need of some more crazy hemlock/hessle/r&s 12s though.

[Preacha]

1-800-Dinosaur got you covered

[Jizz]

Is 1-800 an instrumental outlet of his music? I just thought it was a tumblr or something
