jamie xx is probably the most interesting producer going at the moment. as much as i love the original album, we're new here just appeals to me more through the opposition of gils voice and jamies use of samples.
This album is truly excellent. One of the best of the year. The way Jamie XX fearlessly tackles the source material yet still treats it with the reverence it deserves is, at times, breathtaking.
@CalumOMG he did a google interview and he said how much he liked jamie and how this was one of his favorite songs then they play the song (sarcastic voice) and i likeddid it alot does it matter where i herd it or if i was first to listen to it do you get some kind of award if so im bout to pull a kanye if i dont get my soon
On the 10th time i've listened to this song today, i've realised that this truly is a classic tune, will never get overplayed for me... too good, Jamie, well done, and Gil Scott Heron, rest in peace, you've done well.
Thank you so much for putting this up in high-quality sound - seriously, everyone with decent speakers, put it on 1080p from 240 after listening a few seconds past 1:50. An insane difference, and the clicks from peaking are gone completely. Beautiful.
A tune like this shows how you don't need fat wobbles and absurd brostep drops to have a powerful and deep effect on the listener. Bringing us back to the basics (spaces [pun intended?]). My chin drops my head so heavily everytime that drop hits at 1:50.
Jamie xx you are a very clever and innovative musician!!! So thrilled to see you are remixing the underrated and brillliant Gil Scott Heron!!!! Bring it on!!
@blindmansarrow Oh I didnt know that. I love Bill Callahan and apart from his own songs am especially fond of his background vocals in Joanna Newsomes 'only skin' . Moving stuff!!!
Dope as fuck
