This comment is only about ‘Buzzard & Kestrel’: incredible. The term ‘experimental’ is most certainly relevant in any description of this track. And somehow this track definitely also has an addictive quality. James Blake manages to arrange an array of completely disparate (and unsettling) sounds into a mystifyingly coherent and satisfying whole. I really can’t endorse this track to anyone, partly because I think most people would be annoyed by it. On top of that, I can’t even imagine an appropriate public setting for this song. It’s not relaxing, it’s surely not danceable, it’s not necessarily even easy to listen to. But for personal use, by people that appreciate courage, this track is golden.

GOOD HONEST REVIEW. Great producer and some good tracks here but a little too experimental for me – same with Untold.

great review on such a strange but great record. “flying lotus/alachofa-era villalobos” is absolutely spot on!
