But I'm just not feeling the new one. I get bummed when producers try to crossover into vocal music. It also feels like he had spread himself thin and din't have the conceptual lattice in place that he usually constructs, and is just mashing what he's been reading recently in interviews, retroactively. The CCRU stuff, specifically.
I like James Blake fine, I haven't listened to him since his first instrumental singles and his first LP. I have to wonder about Lopatin handing off that much creative control.
Dunno, maybe it'll click later. His stuff usually knocks me out right off the bat, though.
