NEW ALBUM IN A COUPLE OF HOURS
JUST ANNOUNCED ON BBC R1
i havent even listened to over grown yet
!!!!!!!!!!
F I N A L L Y
What happened to his album with Chance the Rapper?
>>64607695
they moved in together and realized they were both talentless hacks and resented it
Yes.
>>64607663
Wait, as in new album streamed on BBC, or new album being released? If former, anyone have a link to their stream?
>>64607737
He just premiered a couple of tracks on BBC R1 and announced that the album will be released today.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1
a track is playing atm
This is great news. Was having a shit day.
I'm real excited to hear the 20 minute track, I wonder if it'll be 20 minutes of ambient clicks and clacks or if it'll be a little more involved than that.
>>64607854
haha yeah! I'm hoping for something that blends ambient soundscapes with his usual style
thank you based james, FUCK
>>64607854
hopefully we'll see some good progression in the song, it will prob be similar to burial's longer tracks in terms of structure, we'll see though.
HYPEEEEE
This hack still makes music?
Amazing!
>>64607663
Where's the album art?
>>64607854
>>64607944
Honestly, Burial and James Blake are probably the only producers innovative and ballsy enough to pull off a 20 minute song.
>>64608149
all we have so far
S/t was utter shit. Couldn't bring myself to listen to anymore of his works. Is it worth it?
>>64608192
>he's never experienced a winter in the british countryside
Did he really say the new album is going to drop today?
>>64608192
sounds like you're a pleb so I dunno
you might actually like Overgrown since it's very pop
>>64608221
yea
check like pitchfork or fact mag for the news
>>64608254
Thanks friend. I was contemplating suicide for today but I guess I get to live until this album drops
>>64608188
all the promotional posters for this have been absolutely awful
3 hours 50 to go lads
who
/brit/ here
>>64608290
yes I hope the album will help you rediscover the colour in anything so you may recover
>>64607708
did they really move in together or did they just say they did?
>>64608311
>he didn't read Roald Dahl as a schoolboy
BUT WILL IT BE AVAILABLE TO STREAM TO BIGHT?
>>64608290
Don't do it, anon. I've been having an awful month as well. But lets try and better ourselves instead.
>>64608353
yes it will be
TIDAL-EXCLUSIVE
Somebody please tell James Blake to stop trying to be Goldie. I have a sinking feeling that this is going to end up like Saturn Returnz all over again.
Holy shit,
I cannae fucking wait
fucking hype train choo choo
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBcCXX0aWhc
>tfw James Blake is going to become Top 40 now
>>64608367
>But lets try and better ourselves instead.
why lol
i can't wait for my parents to die so i can finally off myself
please no more "like a squid" shit
>>64608311
I fucking hate Quentin Blake.
Any relation?
8.2/10 at best
James Blake 9/10
Overgrown 6/10
>>64608527
>Any relation?

thoughts?
>>64608192
I preferred overgrown desu, but then I liked the s/t
>>64608453
>become Top 40 now
Nigga he went Top 40 in 2010
>>64608453
He's already pretty huge.
It's honestly strange to me how massively popular "Limit To Your Love" is, that track has such a slow lead-up to the climax, don't get me wrong it's an amazing track, but doesn't strike me as something a mainstream audience would have the patience for.
>>64608226
Can't get more pop than S/t
THREE SONGS ARE ON SPOTIFY LADS
>>64608596
perhaps in the uk
i haven't really heard him on the mainstream radio before retrograde
and then retrograde was everywhere for like a month
>>64608612
Pretty solid album art, better than Overgrown, for sure.
He's never gonna beat the S/T
>>64608612
>I Need a Forest Fire
Excellent timing there Blake
>>64608668
i don't get it
>>64608682
canada burned down m8
>>64608453
hes already pretty big. I remember hearing a few singles going around back in 2013, and I wasn't really into music back then.
>>64608682
Huge forest fire in canada.
>>64608659
man really? I preferred Overgrown honestly.
>>64608659
Yeah his S/T is actually one of my favorite records, Overgrown on the other hand I thought was like okay. Still very hype for this new record though.
>>64608701
>back in 2013, and I wasn't really into music back then.
unless you're like 5 or something, how does this even work?
>>64608825
that's some bright eyes circa 2001 shit
>>64608825
>"I'm not burning the duster! OK? I'm not burning the duster, alright?"
>>64608612
>Bon Iver
Dropped
>>64608825
I'm a fan of quentin blake but that looks kinda shitty
blud I just shutdown
I thought the album name was supposed to be Radio Silence
>>64608682
http://edition.cnn.com/2016/05/04/world/fort-mcmurray-fire-canada/
>>64608788
im barely 19. I was more into video games in highschool, I listened to some chillwave and other stuff here and there, but it wasn't till about late 2014 I started really getting into music.
>>64608892
God damn, 17 songs, 1 20 minute song.
How long is this album?
>>64608659
But it was just the Klavierwerke cover but tinted.
>>64608290
Theres too much good music coming to die now man you'll miss all the memery and quality shitposting
There are people who love you too
hopefully 1.5 hours
>>64608954
I'm guessing it's gonna be 80 minutes
>>64608965
oh i've never listened to his eps
>>64608892
>17 tracks
>one 20 minute track
>one track called "Timeless"
STOP TRYING TO BE GOLDIE GODAMMIT
>>64608875
honestly all of them are great, but the Bon Iver one is the best until this point
Also, this album gonna be what, over a hour long?
>>64608896
yeah he said he changed his mind on the radio show
>>64608987
you get some of his best stuff in the EPs
really show his UK based Dance roots
check CMYK
>>64607854
>tfw james blake made his impossible soul
>>64608916
>barely 19
christ, it feels like i was barely 19 yesterday.
i should just kill myself already
>>64608987
Klavierwerke might be his best song. His EPs are why he was already big before his first album came out
>>64608179
does that mean James Blake confirmed for Burial?
>>64608290
we love you anon please don't kill yourself
I'm digging this kinda soul throwback with modern production. My Willing Heart has that classic tempo of a 70's Soul ballad
>>64609058
Blake and Burial have a good friendship
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p8idi7PcsbU
Burial is cotching in the right hand corner for the whole set, incredible stuff
kanye collaboration where
>>64609012
haven't you posted this like

this guy makes really boring, bland music. am i missing something
>inb4 "taste xD"
>>64609084
was that ever confirmed to be him?
>>64609110

>>64609110
maybe you're not into his style of minimalism
that's ok
>>64609098

what are his best songs? maybe i only listened to his shitty ones
>>64609098

idk who the fuck goldie is but idgaf
stop it
>Listening to Radio 1
Might as well pour bleach directly into your third eye.
Top tracks, go:
>1. Unluck
>2. Life Round Here
>3. I Never Learnt to Share
Why the fuck is everything coming out today/tomorrow?
>>64609156
Still loads better than the Top 40 stations we have in America.
>>64609155

Is Calvin Harris white-girl core music /mu/?
>>64609234
2 hours and 6 minutes
>>64609309
well yes
>>64609148
Not that guy but I think his live versions of some stuff are his best stuff.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KerjSTsTbmk
>>64609322
How about James Blake?
Is he white-girl core?
>>64609334
No. He's patrician.
Best live gig i've been to.
Tied with Flying Lotus.
Four Tet > James Blake > Burial > SBTRKT
>>64609371
SBTKRT really fell the fuck off. He was big like 5 years ago but literally nobody remembers him now.
>>64609353
I saw flylo last summer and I wouldn't call it a live gig... literally just djing his own songs
in no particular order
>i never learnt to share
>i mind
>digital lion
>>64609384
first album was fucking hot, his remixes too
latest project was a trainwreck
>>64609280
Are all songs there? Or will ALL of his songs be release at midnight?
>>64609384
wonder where we land was so bad... a couple of good stand-outs but just so painfully uninteresting for the most part
>>64609393
This, still a good time though.
3 hours left folks
>>64609404
3, all at midnight senpai
Looking forward to the kanye track
listening to some Burial to get me in that london mood
>>64609431
confirmed ye on it?
ive only listened to his ST, is it considered his "best"? What should I check out next, what's been hit n' miss.
the perfect time to revisit the amazing s/t B-sides
some of his best work for sure
>>64609431
Thanks! *released
Damn I'll be at school when this happens but I'll find a way. Hope the Kanye track we've all been waiting for is there. And glad to see he collaborated with Bon Iver, Fall creek boys choir is one of my favorite songs
>>64608192
You really are a pleb, so it's not.
>>64609585
I really enjoy the Love What Happened Here EP
Overgrown has a few nice songs like Life Round Here
>>64609585
Probably one of his best. Enough thunder (the EP) is a personal favorite though
>>64609482
I'm waiting for Kanye confirmation too but iirc in the same interview he said Von Iber would be on it and he is so... Get hype fags
woo!
>>64609648
>Once We All Agree
Seriously his best song ever. Great emotion on it. Other favourites are I Mind, Overgrown, 200 Press, I'll Stay, and Love What Happened Here.
>Panda
Kys mm
>>64609778
Damn hahaha didn't see that there
Feel like Enough Thunder isn't appreciated enough
Not enough thunder
Desiigner/James Blake mixtape confirmed
fuckking hell /mu/ what is happening today?
>>64609807
That's why I'm glad for James' success but at the same time it brings the plebs out to his shows expecting Limit To Your Love when he has a great immense back catalog that fly by them. Had a fangirl not know CMYK or Air & Lack Thereof, calling them boring. Bitch was a buzzkill.
I hope the album is a bit upbeat at least, long R&B albums are a chore to sit through
>>64608192
what a pleb
>>64609903
when he dropped CMYK at the beginning of his set a few years back, some girl next to me almost passed out from the sub bass.
Fucking insane show
>>64609955
word. not expecting anything like CMYK or anything but at least some agressive hip hop songs it would be fine.
>>64609903
They can't appreciate the entirety of his music and it sucks. I'd kill to go to his show and have him play something of his from Enough Thunder or older
>>64609976
Shit hahaha
>>64608405
one of his best tracks imo
>>64609163
for me, its
>1. I Never Learnt To Share
>2. Drunk in Love remix
>3. Wilhelm Scream
>4. Life Round Here (version w/ Chance)
>5. Confidence Boost remix
>6. Fall Creek Boys Choir
>7. Sparing Horses
>8. Come Thru remix
>9. Stop What Youre Doing remix
>10. Take a fall for me
>>64609371
correction
JB > Burial > Four Tet > SBTRKT
Radio Silence is fire AF, best of those three
so how long after midnight before there's a mega, brubrus
>>64610854
i'll try and hook you up man, got my rig set up now as soon as it goes live
>>64611015
you're a good man. You in britain? how long until midnight?
>>64609163
>Tep and the Logic
>Modern Soul
>Why Don't You Call Me
dubstep: the pubsinger years ,continue.
shame, honestly.

1 hour 50 now mate!
>>64608405
1-800-DINOSAUR when
>>64611152
theres a 1-800 mix on the new album
stoked on that shit
>>64609163
>I Mind
>Limit to your love
>Wilhelms Scream
>>64609163
>Take a Fall For Me
>Lindisfarne II
>Measurements
>>64609585
Overgrown is generally considered better, if we're to judge by Metacritic and RYM
WHY RADIO SILENCE IS ALL WRONG
WHY THE LIVE VERSION IS SO SUPERIOR
IM LEGIT SAD ABOUT THIS
1 hour 15 lads
>>64611856
Pretty sure it's 13 minutes, not 1 hour and 13 minutes.
>>64611914
learn to tell the time
>>64611914
No, it's 22:48 in the UK right now.
>>64609012
how do you know one track is 20 min?
>>64611954
he probably said so on the radio when he announced the album
>>64611744
on a second listen I admit I was wrong
there is not much difference between the live version, its just the glitched out piano in the intro that's a little out of place
>>64612046
Well thank you for humbling yourself

Kill yourself heathen
i need a forest fire is amazing i have high hopes for this
Most underated track ?
I'd say Lindisfarne, I mean, just listen to this version
https://youtu.be/gMhTrVxs7Sc?t=14m52s
>>64612196
Lindisfarne II is a jam
Saw him live in Stockholm last summer.
He played some new songs, was completely magical.
I hope the album is good tho, i'll be dissapointed if yeezys not on it
>>64612196
based taste anon. That version of Lindisfarne is incredible
I haven't never been into him. Is this good time to start, and if it is what albums/songs should I listen to?
>>64612196
I love Lindisfarne but that version was awful. It feels rushed, taking away from the incredibly sparse original. Also his singing wasn't good at all
>>64612291
Start with S/T, listen to all the dubstep EPs, then Enough Thunder, then Overgrown
>>64608179
>>>/reddit/
You have
NIcolas Jaar
Tim Hecker
Nils Frahm
Kashiwa Daisuke
Steve Roach
and a shit ton more who have and do release 20 minute+ tracks
>>64608332
They were planning on it but it never happened.
the "woos" on we need a forest fire are killing me lmao
>>64612196
Definitely his most underrated song but I dont get the atmosphere of the original from that performance. I think this version is by far the best: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=pH8WWkCuiPw
>>64612408
None of those are good hahahahahahahhahaha
Looks like you're the redditor here.
>>64612543
Listening now, appart from the over the top reverb on the vocals, performing wise it is superior, but for some reason I don't connect to it as much..
the 3 songs are good to great, but i don't know if i could listen to 17 tracks of it. i hope the album is more varied in terms of tempo.
>>64612562
Nobody said anything about good, just innovative and ballsy, and they all make far more experimental music than James Blake's pop tunes or Burial's brostep
>>64612562
here's your (You)
>>64612673
>burial
>brostep
uh, no
>>64612562
Kill yourself
>>64612673
>just innovative and ballsy
NONE OF THOSE ARE INNOVATIVE HOLY SHIT
YOU HAVE THE WORST TASTE
>>64612693
>wow all this bass and reverb and vocal samples its so deep xDDD
listen to this pop music guys
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JqPVAyBJfTs
wow was this on 1989 lmao such a sellout
>>64612543
That version of Unluck is quite gorgeous though !
>>64612725
lol I never said anything about it being deep, but words means things and certain classifications are in place, and Burial is certainly not "brostep." Hell, a lot of his stuff isn't strictly dubstep either.
>>64612754
>wow was this on 1989 lmao such a sellout
To be fair, to those who got into him back in the dubstep days, he is a bit of a sellout desu
>>64607680
don't bother, this one is already better just based on the singles
>>64612770
listen to that fucking track and call him a sellout
>>64608192
Self titled is GOAT. Overgrown was garbage
>>64608192
get out you doss fucking cunt
>>64608453
he's always been successful. and good for him. people are so possessive of their favourite music it's weird
>>64612790
Compared to his club stuff, yeah him changing his sound and going down this route and doing tracks with Beyonce and Kanye could easily be considered selling out. Don't be such a naive fanboy.
>>64612712
What does this have to do with my taste? Hecker's exploration of timbre and textures is unprecedented, and he goes into a new direction with every release. Daisuke's juxtapositioning of glitch, noise, and hip hop with more classical and jazz-based compositions is pretty novel, whether you appreciate it or not. Steve Roach's minimalistic compositions are unparalleled for what they are.
It doesn't matter if you like their music or not, they all do pretty innovative and risky things with their music
>>64608825
he's got that rainy day on the moors thing down, am hyped for the most english album of all time
>>64612840
>Hecker's exploration of timbre and textures is unprecedented
Except for
1 stockhausen
2 ligeti
3 feldman
4 murail
5 grisey
6 debussy

>Daisuke's juxtapositioning of glitch, noise, and hip hop with more classical and jazz-based compositions is pretty novel

If only they weren't anime soundtracks.
>Steve Roach's minimalistic compositions are unparalleled for what they are.
Unironically:
KILL
YOUR
SELF
>>64608954
i think i heard 90 mins somewhere
>>64612840
>>64612885
also Schoenberg and Webern
Tim Hecker is COMPLETELY unoriginal, he has nothing innovative in his music.
forest fire is a fucking fantastic track
>>64612831
No. Going from EDM to experimental electronic is the opposite of selling out. And in fact he was probably one of the only good dubstep producers ever, anyway and now he's a million times better.
25 minutes you cunt
>>64612947
More like 12 hours and 25 minutes
sorry friend
>>64609955
he's not really rnb, more like dubstep flavoured falsetto singer/songwriter
>>64612885
>being this reductive
How is like being a edgy 18 year-old? Just curious.
>>64612939
>And in fact he was probably one of the only good dubstep producers ever
absolutely not, wow. i like blake and i liked his dubstep material, but compared to the other guys releasing stuff on hessle and hemlock he was pretty mediocre. that's not even getting into the og's.
>>64612970
NICE FUCKING ARGUMENT
Explain how Hecker's approach to timbre and texture is any different from those composer's works.
Since clearly you have heard them all, right?
>>64611742
yeah but when has metacritic and rym ever been right about anything?
What are some of James Blakes' influences? I know Burial is a big one. What sort of stuff should I be listening to?
>>64612966
HAHAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! shared
>>64612977
see >>64612986
It's unbelievable you fucking people can't even fucking argue with me.
Where is the album
>>64612562
take a very long look at what you typed and realize how embarrassing this is for you
>>64608825
I like it.
Like the other anon said, it's got a rainy day vibe. Glad I'll get to listen while it's raining out.
>>64612984
honestly i haven't really heard much dubstep outside of james early stuff just because most of it sounds like shitty noises and really pisses me off
>>64613017
not out for twenty minutes
>>64613022
Says the Hecker and Frahm fan
>>64612994
Mount Kimbie
>>64612986
The most obvious weakness in your comparison is that they all wrote for orchestral or symphonic settings, whereas Hecker's usually involves solo improvisation and a lot more focus on signal processing. Tbh it's pretty weak trolling at this point tho so I don't really feel like feeding you anymore lol
>>64613043
this, that shit is trash entry level faggot core
>>64613043
i don't even know who frahm is, hecker is alright.
>>64613063
and James Blake isn't? top kek

>>64613097
>reading is hard
>>64613116
You literally have no point, you're just like "yeah but he uses a computer."
So did Stockhausen, or at least the functional equivalent.
You.
Have.
No.
Argument.
Stay out of shit you don't understand, kid.
>>64612993
He asked which album is considered better. How are those two sites not useful for knowing what people generally think about music? kill yourself
>>64613067
>>64613101
No: Lindberg and Higdon are good neoclassical composers.
Frahm is a hack who makes new age shit from 30 years ago.
>>64613133
It's a pretty significant distinction, especially in a discussion of timbre lol
I'm a graduate of the NEC and did a lot of coursework involving contemporary music, I have a pretty solid grasp on what we're talking about
>>64613133
not the guy you're arguing with, and i tend to agree with you more than him, but holy shit you're obnoxious. calm down, it's just the internet
Imagine a thread about James Blake evolving into awful bigheaded comments about Stockhausen
>>64613207
>It's a pretty significant distinction
That I shut down in my post, read it again.
>I'm a graduate of the NEC and did a lot of coursework involving contemporary music
Guess you wasted your time then, since you listen to utter garbage.
Like at this point I'm choosing to believe you either are completely lying, or didn't graduate.
>>64613221
These fucking pseudo-intellectuals are everywhere man, they need to be shut down.
Look at what he originally posted: >>64612408
As if he has good taste! What the fuck?!

you don't even need to imagine it because look here it is

>Confidence Boost
5 minutes lads
>>64613257
i'm neither of those guys but i agree with the second guy
now you're just attacking the guy's taste, it's not a debate about whether tim is innovative anymore (he is in some ways)
>>64613257
also why are you even in the james blake thread if you're so pretentious about electronic music? surely he's too poppy for you
>>64613355
>now you're just attacking the guy's taste
I proved him 100% objectively wrong.
The one track with Bon Iver is meh
But listening to My Willing Heart and getting a nice burial vibe but with a James Blake twist
>>64613373
>also why are you even in the james blake thread if you're so pretentious about electronic music?
Because the new tracks are fucking great and believe it or not I don't have to believe music is super experimental or superior in order to like it.
>>64613379
and u proved ur 100% objectively autistic
>>64613323
Until what? The album premier?
1 minute lads
Where is it dropping?
>>64613257
>>64613257
lol nowhere did I say it's music that I particularly care for or listen to, just that they release 20+ minute tracks, contrary to your silly post that only James Blake and Burial are innovative and ballsy enough to do so. Funnily enough I ket Stockhausen out of my post because I assumed somebody considering James Blake and Burial the pinnacles of music wouldn't know who that was.
Also, I haven't told you what I listen to, so how would you know? lol though admittedly I don't go out of my way to hate anything that is popular or acclaimed, as you seem to do.
