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.
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.
RIP Gil-Scott Heron. Your influences in dance and hip hop are shown in todays music. Just look at how much you inspired Jamie xx to create this masterpiece.
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!!
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.
To all you Gil Scott fans, you should check out Brian Jackson Jr. who wrote and played those tracks with Gil Scott. , he is still performing and writing great tunes. He is really cool dude and approachable. g4
This album reminds me if a walk from a travel lodge to the uni of hull. It was a freezing day but I managed to fit in the whole album on the walk. Didn't end up going there. However, this album makes me think of hull and it makes hull such a better place in my mind #musicmemoryrevolution
I met him at a party, he said the sweetest things, I was lonely and naive I guess thats why I believed, every word every word every word every word every word every word every word every word every word every word every word every word every word every word every word every word every word every word every word every word every word every word every word every word every word every word every word every word
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. fuckin swag
C'mon guys, Drake is getting Jamie XX, XL Records, and Gil Scott Heron's family (presumably), money, which means that they can release more sweet music (and his family can have nice stuff). Using his influence to spread good music, good on him.
@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!!!
This whole album is pure auditory gold. Can't get over it.
Top 5 albums of all time …I study it still
Apparently I've been living under a rock. This is some of the best music I've ever heard.
Came back in 2022. Absolutely stunning.
And 23

Jamie xx is so priveleged to work with such an inpirational artist like ol' Gil. R.I.P
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.

1:24. The moment in time I believe I 'lost my shit' as I was fully engulfed by the purity of vocality in this song. Beautiful
It doesn't get any better than this.
