James Blackshaw - Cross (Full Album Version)

[LardGargantuus]

Michael Gira, James Blackshaw's record producer, was brought to tears by James's music. This is pretty astonishing to me, because I could never imagine Gira crying. He ran away from home and lived on the streets and travelled across Europe when he was thirteen; at that age I played video games and had my mom drive me to school each day. Emotionally powerful music indeed.

i hate this fucking granpas guitars bullshit, acoustics are really so shit, why cant everyone just play electric guitars like real guitarists

[tanman875]

@edg910 Seeing as it is your opinion, I can respect that. However, that is YOUR opinion on this sort of thing. Other people do enjoy this genre of music. Also, real guitarists DO use acoustics at times, it's just that using an acoustic guitar is more complicated to use due to the chords being fingered differently to compensate for the lack of emphasis of sound produced by one. In conclusion, your opinion on music does matter, but the way expressed makes you sound like an idiot.

Saw him yesterday at Supersonic festival in Birmingham - the man's a genius

[xngeldeathx]

Explosiones, múltiples sonidos comienzan al unísono y los colores mágicamente comienzan a aparecer en mi mente…unos simples toques hacen de mi momento solemne sea el mas eufórico; nada combina mejor los traces que un simple movimiento de sonidos de guitarra…^^

Really beautiful to listen to with brekike on a grey Good friday.. Thanks & a Happy melodic Easter to you..;-)

[Atlein]

I'll admire the future of Blackshaw's music from just listening to this piece.

The harmony.

I admire another fact. He is a reader of Borges.
