When you watch the entire internet crammed into a 6 minute video, it tends to leave you speechless. That probably explains the lack of responses in this thread.
And I'm still under the impression that nobody actually likes James Blake. They just say they do so they can score p4k points and up their indie cred.
I mean, c'mon... that song. Jeez. Where's the catchyness, I ask you? :(

I wasn't much of a fan of his first album except for a few songs (I liked his cover of Limit to Your Love the most). I can see the complaints of his music not being very catchy, but this new single has a melodic mood right from the start that I can't get enough of. |

To each his own. I'm usually all about hip music, but I just don't see the appeal of this dude. I might give him a second chance, though, and check out the new album. Maybe it'll change my mind about him...

Isn't it wonderful? I love music videos that induce seizures. :D

I'm completely obsessed with Retrograde and can't wait for the album to drop in april
Also, this is my favourite off his old album (except probably for Limit to your Love): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eJDSueNSMJE
I'm sure it's probably only a coincidence that his best two are covers.... I do love the whole album though

Reviews are already coming in, and they're sounding positive:
| Quote: | ...I want to state that this album is simply brilliant. It is so wacky and spontaneous but yet is so easily able to follow. Now some people may not like the album as a whole since it goes in so many directions in each song but I will GUARANTEE you will love some sections.
The album diverse from many awesome swing jazz sections, to spastic electro dance vibes, to classic old groovy funk. These guys have good taste across the lines of so many genres. It also contains many epic solos from shreddering guitars, awesome samples (with a very dark one), and many epic sections that you would expect to hear from a score in a movie or a video game.
Pryapisme has managed to merge so many difference influences while allowing them all to have well thoughtout sections in many of their songs, all while not feeling force. This album also simply has the best and most diverse instrumentation I have ever heard. |
