A Case Of You
A music video for 'The Wilhelm Scream' from the just released debut and self-titled album of James Blake (2011).
The Wilhelm scream is a sound effect: a scream you hear when one of the characters in a Hollywood movie is shot. It was first used in the film 'Distant Drums' (1951).
Press here in order to hear the notorious scream.
Back to the artist in question. On BBC Radio 1, recently, a more accessible song by James Blake was aired: a cover of Joni Mitchell's 'A Case Of You'. We like that one better.

One of the most dangerous guys out there
'Limit to Your Love' is a single by James Blake; a third release from this London based electronic composer (in his early 20s). This is the first single from his still eagerly expected debut album.
"Singing next to just a few handpicked sounds (a simple piano melody, a couple of drums, and a rattling sub bass) he turns Feist's jaunty original into something tense and brooding. His approach is so minimal that it's almost cocky: after each verse, he lets the song go silent for three, maybe four seconds, creating this incredible tension where you really crave the next sound. And for all the careful craft, there's still warmth - even soul- to this track, and it's that combo that makes Blake one of the most dangerous guys out there."
