James Blake, Mt Kimbie, CD/SD

klavierwerke ep has really grown on me

is this gonna be all new stuff, or things from EPs?

"the wilhelm scream" <3

This is totally my jam right now:

loving this. that added bitrate really amps up the songs that were already out there in lower-quality versions several notches.

yeah, i've heard that one but it's nice to get the full effect

he's really good at the single-hook song

wilhelm's scream is brilliant

i don't really know much about blake, just started listening to the eps a couple of weeks ago, so sorry if this is a dumb thing to day but the full-length is pretty different, huh? is he doing the singing or is it someone else? i like the vocals, on first listen i wish the songs had a little more going on, especially rhythmically, but they could grow on me

It's him singing.

James Blake album is awful. Played it once and now sending it to the trash. If i wanted some weak ass singer/songwriter shit, i'd listen to...? I have no idea, actually, because I hate shit like this. Just make beats and STFU.

you'd listen to darkstar ?

Darkstar album is 100x better than the James Blake album.

his label is doing a good job scrubbing this from all internet websites

Still available on the first page of a title + 2011 + .rar search though.

yeah i got it

It's a sisyphean task for those guys

Darkstar album is 100x better than the James Blake album.

i haven't heard a note of the james blake album and i can't imagine that this is true.

and, fwiw, i wanted to like the darkstar disc, since i loved their early singles.

I kind of hate the way it sounds like he's whispering things in your ear.

darkstar albim is great, stfu h8ers

album* uggghh late night + alcohol

The Darkstar album is bad. They made the wrong aesthetic choice, abandoning their "Aidy's Girl Is a Computer" sound.

"Just make beats and STFU."

i think hell keep making beats, he just wants to do the singer thing too. even though from listening (only) to limit to your love he does sound a bit limited/like he has a cold/like someone from the 80s.

"wilhelms scream" really is stunning

Is the full-length that commercial? I love the ep's but it's the type of stuff that alienates my friends. "CMYK" is astonishing.

^^^^^^^^^ absolutely right.

don't get all the love for 'Aidy's Girl' tbh it's just alright. i do like 'CMYK'.

That shitty Feist cover is seriously Dud.

yeah i really hate when artists follow their own muse and do something new, instead of pandering to their most boring fans who'd rather they went in circles and repeated themselves for the next decade

at least at concerts you can shout "AIDY'S!!!" and they'll probably play the hit, though, right?

what are you talking about?

of course they're entitled to follow their muse. they should. that doesn't automatically mean the resulting product is good. fans are entitled to feel that a band made the wrong aesthetic choice. i'm guessing you've made precisely the same assessment over the years, in the case of acts following their muse to places you didn't like going.

sure, but i wouldn't term it a "wrong" aesthetic choice. just a choice that i didn't much care for. it's not an absolute.

okay, sure.

mostly i didn't like being called a boring-fan.

Agree that "Aidy's Girl" is solid but overrated - "Need You" is much better imo.

hah sorry, far from it, i just get bored at work and IM LEARING TO TROLL so -- voila

xp

agree w/ seandalai, "need you" trumps "aidy's" tho obviously both are excellent

need you is a near-perfect track, yeah.

'mo-step

for a while i've been relating (possibly wrongly) James Blake to a two-step Nicolas Jaar for some reason. They seem to work with a similar pallette, ust a different grid.

Oh yeah, the two kinda go together in my head as well. I much prefer Jaar though.

I quite like their Videotape remix. I was kind of hoping the album would be more like that, although I do really like the album.

_The Darkstar album is bad. They made the wrong aesthetic choice, abandoning their "Aidy's Girl Is a Computer" sound._

^^^^^^^^^ absolutely right.

oh shit? i was looking 4ward to this, aidys girl was my jam

so like kimbie r the only
ones who followed up? even theb i could have used more sketch on glass sounding stuff

those eps have longevity tho man

the darkstar album is really good plax, use yr own ears!

I'm glad at least one or two other people hate this James Blake album. It's going to be a long, annoying year for us.

also wrt night air, is that just a standalone thing, or are burial and woon planning more 2gether. i never really cared for wayfaring stranger but im glad others did enuff for this to happen. apart from archangel and raver my favourite burialcuts are collabys

Like Daniel already said, I just think their new stuff is bad. I don't care that it's different, they just took a gamble and lost, imo. The dude voice's is just not interesting.
