Bigup James Blake

[Pedro Sánchez]

Mercury Prize winner.

[wolf89]

Boring album

but honestly looking at the competition it's' all a bit wank. Would go for Bowie or Hopkins over James Blake's album though.

[murky21]

fantastic news big up james blake!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Direflow]

his s/t deserved one more than Overgrown did.

[meanmrcustard]

Whether it deserved it or not (and lets face it, his debut was probably better and didn't win), I'm over the moon that he did win it. He still comes from, and represents the world that a lot of us associate with and I honestly believe it's brilliant that he's been recognised, because as easy as it is to knock him these days (and as much as I prefer the stuff he released on Hemlock and Hessle back in the day), the boy's done remarkably well.

[OGLemon]

^yeah I cosign this

[skwiggo]

pretty damn happy that he won! not really bothered about the prize that much but for someone who started out on these forums and the dubstep scene to win it is amazing. his new album is great too, i personally think it's a step up from the first. will always love his early stuff on hessle/r&s/hemlock and i just hope he continues to release stuff on smaller labels - the lov

but still...BIG UPS

[Sexual_Chocolate]

Boring

so negative.

This.

Wouldn't have got my vote out of those albums (Immunity is such a sick album) but still happy for him!

[Johnlenham]

Who were the other people up for it? Still Big ups! Overgrown is not quite up there as self titled but its still alot better than most.
