Goiter Sanchez Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Well, this is ... unexpected Love this track! JB is still one of the most unique voices working within this dub/bass genre. Love those synth swells! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshuatxuk Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Started out okay. But those metal clangs. Uuuhf.... Would leave them out or replace them with another percussive element? Not being dickish, just really curious. I like them personally, though I feel he could of dropped them in and out of the mix a bit more - they kinda have that silly "moar cowbell" effect I suppose.

Soloman Tump Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 album of the day on bbc 6music tomorrow so will probably catch 4 or 5 tracks of it tomorrow. Mary anne hobbes has been describing it as a masterpiece and i kinda respect her views Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drix Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 I really liked Retrograde, and listening to the album now I wish he had a bit more punch in him, but overall it's a solid album. Still miss the beats and tricks he did in his early days though, but a good follow-up in the same vain as his debut album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Audioblysk Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 Sounds like Mr. Blake is really using the shit out of his prophet 08. I really want to like James Blake, but it just never really clicks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markedone Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 I'm really really liking this album - getting similar vibes to his debut, which I loved. If anything, it reminds me how great his composition and pacing can be, because I haven't heard music like this since his debut album.On the early listens at least, Digital Lion through the end seems like a string of pretty perfect tracks.

Alcofribas Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 i feel like james blake needs to beef up his production chops so that his beats have character and his synth sounds are cool and evocative but not lame and cheesy. he should also try to execute some vocal ideas that are not meandering and redundant, perhaps he could try writing a song for instance. he should definitely at least try to make good music. then maybe he might not completely suck.

Guest Mirezzi Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 New video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AlaRjP8pg0Q I wanted to like this video more than I did. It had promise but comes across as a sulky emo hipster pussy who's in love with the camera. I can't deal with it. That + the new age ringwraiths dancing around him at the end just ruins an otherwise promising visual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kokoon Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 So the ringwraiths all get sucked in into his asshole in the end? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
