As soon as I heard that opening note... I knew it was gonna be my favorite

[keithlocke]

I love this album so much. 😩 It came at the right time and every track is so damn good. "Tell Me" is already my most played track this year.

[XoomXoomProject]

Loving the new record, and so amazing to hear the insights into it <3 Thanks so much for this.

[huimo]

Magnificent. James, you are now a staple not only for electronic music, but visual art and fashion. Amazing. Been a huge fan since 2012. We even met at Hackney one day. Glad I could say how much I love everything you do in person.

[montikorbelle]

I'm incredibly excited for all that comes next from James Blake. "Playing Robots Into Heaven" opened a massive gate for his creative expressions.

Went to the show in San Francisco the other night, I highly recommend seeing this tour live if you can!

[XaiverAlexander]

Wow. I need to see this whole thing in theaters

[felipezzz]

So elegantly demolishing. I love so much what this man does.

[jamescristiano]

I really hope that you come and do a tour in Australia at some stage. Would be a dream come true

[shanebrock]

You blew me away at Aragon last Saturday, James 🙌 Thank you, chef!!

[skinny_zeus]

Pls pls pls tour this album in Australia!!!

[GodSpeed]

That Saw tooth synth Melody from Tell Me is so hard especially with all the low pass, delay and reverb effects bring so much more life. That's Hella Hard.

[ThyBr]

Just keep on doing what you want to do James…I’ll always be there to lend my ears to the music you make, brother.

[deltonabf]

A nice exploration so far and yes, Darude’s Sandstorm! An homage perhaps? Reminds me some of early Moog Synthesizer sounds, maybe Gershorn Kingsley.

[romanspataro]

[SienaAmelie]

its insanw how the grainy black and white visuals really feel accurate to the way the album feels

[blkbird]
