James Blake - I Only Know

In case you somehow didn't know Japan was smashed up pretty good by an earthquake and resultant tsunami early this morning. I have a feeling this won't be the last of this sort of thing this year. The world is going through changes and it will be turbulent, but I'm confident we'll make it. I'm thankful that none of my immediate friends and family have been too affected thus far. I hope that continues. Here's some meditative tunes to relax to.

I'll be back with some links tomorrow.

U.N.K.L.E. - Eye For An Eye

U.N.K.L.E. is essentially British DJ and producer James Lavelle with assorted collaborators. They use a very ethereal, orchestral sound combined with breakbeats, hip-hip grooves, and sometimes transient, trippy lyrics. I would consider their 2003 album "Never, Never, Land" a masterpiece in electronic production. This is the second track of that album, and I'm including a remix of another track from it that features Ian Brown of The Stone Roses on vocals.
