Home James!

James Blake. One of the most unusual musicians I've heard in the last ten years. I've enjoyed his music on the air, courtesy of the CBC. However, hearing him live was a totally different experience. His recorded music is very electronic with lots of sampling. Live, he was very "bass and drum" techno. I'm not sure I'd see him live again. While I loved his voice, he only did a few quiet solo tunes which showcased his voice. I think he needs to rethink his live act.
