I find a quote from the comment section of this article most fitting to sum it up.

"Potentially the most reductive and ridiculous feature the NME's ever published"

Im not hating on James Blake, i love the guy.

But it just seems a VERY bold and irrelevant statement to make
Typically, the percussion will pause, often reducing the track to silence, and then resume with more intensity, accompanied by a dominant subbass

'[Blake] still made a palpable shift from the forbidding clicks of his early EPs to a kind of mournful, blue-eyed soul that echoes ‘Face Value’’s studied pathos. Even his radio breakthrough was a cover of Feist’s ‘Limit To Your Love’
:u:

I wondered how long it would be until people basically started saying stuff along the lines of, "James Blake has sold out, why doesn't he make strange uncommercial music anymore blah blah blah??"

To those people I direct them to the tracklist of Blake's mix for Electronic Explorations done in May 2009, before he had even released 'Air and Lack Thereof' on Hemlock...

http://electronicexplorations.org/the-s ... mes-blake/

01 – James Blake – Limit To Your Love (Cover) [Unreleased]
02 – Pinch – Airlock [Tectonic]
03 – James Blake – Air and Lack Thereof [Forthcoming 'Hemlock Recordings']
04 – Mala – Hunter [DMZ]
05 – James Blake – Sparing the Horses [Forthcoming 'Hemlock Recordings']
06 – Untold – Bones (Hemlock Recordings)
07 – Mount Kimbie – The Mighty Gee [Forthcoming 'Hotflush']
08 – Starkey – Time Traveler [Planet Mu]
09 – James Blake – I Never Learnt To Share [Unreleased]

I rest my case. :middlefinger:

In the 1980s, when your parents were setting light to wodges of £50 notes, hoovering cocaine off ivory dashboards..
I stopped there, I'm not reading this bandwagon jumping bollocks.

Is "a kind of mournful, blue-eyed soul" the new pop then? Because that doesn't read like accusing him of selling out.

The whole thing reads like a first time user, ranting in your ear at 6 in the morning about this "theory they got".

"Compelling evidence isn't it?"
I hope this is an attempt to be funny!

It's like the writer had a thought shit, and NME smeared it over there websight.
Onemans track list is another mans shopping list...

Lol, that was pointless. CONTEMPORARY MUSIC IS REFLECTIVE OF THE TIME WE LINE IN. No shit.
I make music as Forsaken, you can DL all my unreleased (and a couple released) bits here.
