Nothing on James Blake’s eponymous debut comes close to his inaugural EPs for Hemlock, Hessle and R&S; those were all thrilling works of a budding genius, and as much as I enjoy the singer-songwriter side of Blake, it’s just not as interesting to me. Sorry everyone.

This performance of the album’s highlight, The Wilhelm Scream, however, is a fascinating bit of performance, and the steadily increasing reverb and drone is blissful.
