Gotta respect James Blake though. Despite commercial successes he continues to do his own moderately accessible thing, a thing widely considered to be alternative music, out on alternative labels like R&S and Hemlock. It shows that having commercial success doesn't automatically mean having to compromise ones production ethics and values...
Like some other artists in this scene have done, under the cloak of "progress" or "evolution" (whilst doing quite the opposite in fact and remaining stagnant). Much respect to Blake.

The thing about him though is that everyone says he switched up his style when actually the songs on the album were done at the same time and in some cases before the tunes he released on EP's, so I never thought he would abandon that process suddenly anyway
good spot with the quasimoto sample epochalypso. Got me listening to the album again now, will have to play madvillany later too
On second listen. I don't think it's as good as I thought tbh. I mean, it's nice, but seems like a lot of people got a tad over excited 'cause he's not singing.
