James Blake - Structuring Robots Into Heaven (Part One) 

Im ready to watch 4 hours of how he structured this album

Mr. Blake's music is so heavenly, inspirational and poetic. Blessing with each listen.

This guy is a total synthlord. Look at that blimming spaceship control room he's working in. It makes a 747 cockpit look like Fisher-Price.

As an artist I stand by this. It's very comforting to know that even big artist name is afraid to be rejected from something they feel truly connected to.

I went into this album expecting more traditional songs like his last 2 albums, so after my 1st listen i was disappointed because I already built it up in my head. Ive since listened to the album straight through 15 times probably and it's incredible. Thank you James Blake!!!

My favourite album from james is the first one. He was so open creatively and so unbound by convention it was like a breath of fresh air. The new album has that same spirit of fearless experimentation and openness to sonic discovery which is why james is your favourite musicians favourite musician. Totally brilliant james. Keep going and dont be afraid.

20 Years later still get chills

One the best artists right now and certainly one of the best artists using a monstrous collage of eurorack to make albums.

This album is like a homecoming to the core of the art and sound that is distinctly James Blake. Happy to have the weird, experimental, and innovative JB sound we all initially fell in love with.

Too unique and sonically beautiful

I've been a fan since the first release and I love the new album too. It's decidedly James Blake, have no fears about that. It's wonderful.

big ups james blake for creating this album. i hope that this really means that you are embrace to create more on electronic music side in your future project.

Love you James, listening to the album a lot. Amazing. ❤

Always enjoy a ''making of the album''! Way to few artists do it these days, it's so inspiring

The art direction for the album and everything surrounding it is perfect

Thank you for sharing your world with us, for inspiring us. This album is a gift to everyone.

This is everything I want to see about a beast like him, the behind the scenes, to see him work 🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼

"..feelings of ascention.../ honest power ... harmonic ..." feed many of certain us and yet so many and a blessed smile within. Thank you.

He is right about choosing songs that will feel like they're lifting you up spiritually. Felt exactly that especially on Night Sky

I got chills through this whole song…my god.

A peek into James' artistic process is exactly what I needed. I hope there are going to be like 100 more parts of this!

Love you James!

This album is the most exciting, whole and authentic work of music I’ve heard in a long time. Absolutely Inspiring 🖤

You are a true inspiration. We need more of your modular work! 🤘

he says he was worried about people not accepting it and that the album was too crazy. The thing I like about the album is that it is too crazy! I love the experimental side of his music.

I've never listened to another James Blake album, and never really (before this introduced me) listened to any kind of electronic music. This is far and away the best album I heard last year, and coming very quickly to be one of my favourites ever

such great song

Always and forever inspiring.

1:09 is this chord progression in one of his songs or is it just a piece of one his modular jams that didn't make the album? I can't find it and I absolutely love that synth sound and that chord progression

Love your album (and all of your work of course), it definitely feels the passion you put into it and the way you diving yourself deep into the process you really love, that is... really special! I can confidently say that you are one of the few artists, who really inspires me to never stop creating or lose my own path and always be passionate about it. Thank you James, waiting for your new songs or album, it's like waiting for Christmas but even better.

James, you’ve grown wiser as you’ve grown older. I am so happy you found a way to tap into your momentary true self and work that into a piece of music. I so so love that you are doing music that you probably enjoy listening to in your private time. This is such a beautiful love letter to London, the textures are exquisite and your production skills are on full display! I congratulate you on deciding to invite Bowers & Wilkins to capture a glimpse from your intimate surroundings and I think you will also reap the benefits of that partnerships as you explore different routes to take as a contemporary musician and a public persona. Congratulations, yet again you did it! 💞

Thank You Sir!! Been Following your music since Friends That Break Your Heart. I always feel inspired by your music

Totally in the right direction ! Very courageous, ambitious and pertinent ! Bravo

This album inspired me so much to make music. My present and future self thank you for sharing this piece of art with the world.

I too work in fragments and chaos and often create without intent, but rather let what’s going to happen, happen. The upside to that is it’s great at processing feelings and stress, but the downside is I have literally several thousand 20-80 minute recordings of ‘in the moment’ quality (unedited with questionable mix) mixdowns, discrete multitrack stems, and primarily absolute garbage recorded…BUT, each ‘jam’ or free running collage or whatever the case may be DOES has a gem or 3. And everything has been resampled so many times I’m not even sure what machine I originated or resampled or processed many of these sounds on. It’s so incredibly overwhelming and it’s just more incomprehensible over many years at this point…but not only is ‘Playing Robots Into Heaven’ a phenomenal and compellingly honest collection of works (I’ve listened causally twice, and straight through with my best headphones 3 times, with focus), but it seems to have already given me the permission structure I apparently needed to begin the editing process. I am very much looking forward to whatever insight is shared in this series. How to build something from these has been painfully elusive, but I have a strong feeling that once it clicks, it’ll practically finish itself. Thanks for sharing, it’s already made a difference in the way I’m approaching my first attempt to actually compile a release. It’s never been about that, but now I get it: I owe it to myself to see it through, one album at a time.

genuinely blown away by this album more and more each time I listen. I can really feel just how true this expression was james & for that, I salute you. truly beautiful 🤍

one of the greatest ever. love this man

Amazing album!!!

Bro since I hear first time The Wilhelm Scream song I knew that you are music Genius!!!!!! Big UP❤

Props to whoever was behind filming and editing this. Those monitor shots were incredible!

James Blake transcends genre.

Thank you so much for you intentionality. Absolutely stellar project.

It's so siiick! Congrats on the whole album! 🖤

Funny how I wished you included in the album those modular jams that sounded discordant. I really wanted to hear a lot more experimentation from the album. Well, I hope PRIH is the first out of many more weird James Blake records!

James has moved up my list of favorite artists. Top 4 for me.

This is unreal!

absolutely love the album, actually think it’s one of his more accessible and I just don’t get how the critics are not loving it as well

love the way that you've passed to create such a pearl. listening to since the time of the 1st album and absolutely adore how it evolves. each step is very close to me

Thank you 🦋

Just friends! Such a great module. So fun to play it as a synth with i2c

Que video tan inspirador y bello, gracias por hacer música desde la experimentación del alma

It's fascinating to approach (on screen of course) your creative process. This video really makes you want to see more. But the most important thing is that your music is for me one of the most brilliant of recent decades. Continue to dazzle us, to move us beyond reason. Thank you from the bottom of my heart Mr. James Blake.

this is beautiful. thank you for sharing this 💙

It’s perfect ❤ I hope more like this is coming 😍😍

What a beautifully shot video. Amazing.

This is your best album ever

The title track "Playing Robots in Heaven" really hit me on a spiritual level. It's one of the most soul piercing pieces of audio I've ever heard. It has such a classical feeling, while being obviously dissonant, it's like a mix of watching Interstellar and mourning in a large catholic church for me.

So dramatic yet so calming

Let the genius work !! Amazing !

At time stamp 3:27 how did you create that image? I’m a film maker and that visual is insane

In my opinion, this is the best album of James Blake

thank you James

Oh James, I am in love with your art. ♥

Genius of all time for me

A true visionary

love you James

I love u James Blake

Beautiful.

Absolutely fantastic

Keep going James and don’t hold back. Release all your creativity!! 🎉 let it burst forth like an imploding star 💫

Oh wow!!! I do love these videos!!! What's the track starting on the title ? (at 1:10)

Thank you for this, I could watch hours worth of the process behind this album

Love to see this sorta behind the scenes of the album!

Playing Robots Into Heaven is absolutely nasty. In the absolute best of ways. Great to hear that James feels like it represents him so well, I love hearing music that the artist loves and isn't created to please people.

brilliant

GOD MUSIC✨✨✨

❤❤❤❤ incredible!

The album was absolutely incredible!

would love to hear the throwaways. nothing is "too crazy" at this point

The album is sooo good! Such experimental songs, it’s very inspiring. You are one of my favorite influences, I hope to be as good as you one day in my journey in music production

Very cool!!!

Absolute genius❤️😌

Wish I could hear the songs, they are not available in my country

Genius!

BRILLIANT!!!

Subtle and perfect.

Yes, I will take 100 more of these, please and thank you. ❤

It’s a work of art, James. Thank you for taking the risk and dropping it. 🥂

Oh I GET YOU James... this is synchronising with me for sure ! I get you.... a true blessing 🙏

Te quiero mucho James Blake, eres mi inspiración

Love you James 😁

James such a rare being thats why i get u

good job james, we love the album

awsome video wow

Don't worry if people will ever accept you. What you create and make for yourself, is you - Do it For You !

Amazing

Amazing 🔥

Seriously, you've done much weirder stuff than that on this album. Imo. Imo, Robotheaven is 100% James Blake as I know him. ❤ I don't know what it is, but you have something quite unique in your music. Maybe it is your soul, your mind. So far never disapointed me. Thank you for another adventure. Mine will happen around Göttingen, Germany. ❤

The best 💕

You should make a project with "Ludowic". He is an artist who shares your passion and ways of making music.
