James Fred Blake[1] (April 14, 1912 – March 21, 2002) was the bus driver whom Rosa Parks defied in 1955, prompting the Montgomery Bus Boycott. Blake served in the Army in the European theatre during World War II. He worked as a bus driver for Montgomery City Bus Lines until 1974.[2]

He's the cyborg Tim Buckley, and pretty much the most exciting new artist to come around this year. He could be really, really big I think.

Totally, sounds like Stevie Wonder's talk box in a fight with Sly and the Family Stone, falling downstairs and landing on a load of Ikea cushions.

Good sounds all round.

anyone hear the Synkro Electronic Explorations mix with a tune from James Blake called 'Pessimism' ? It's right at the beginning, about 5 mins in I think.

it's just lush sparse piano and beats? I'd love to get hold of that track
