He's calling it a mixtape but its pretty much a free album. There is another one coming out too, Computers & Blues, but that is out on 7th Feb and you will have to pay for that.

Cyberspace and Reds, free and legal:

Sounds decent so far, and definitely more Original Pirate Material and A Grand... style production than whatever those couple of shit albums were called. Hopefully Computers and Blues will be a similar style. Can't beat Original Pirate Material, it was a phenomenal album. Got tickets for his tour. Oh and the artwork for the one you have to pay for is the Ziggurat halls at my old uni at Norwich, which I like a lot. I used to listen to his records in those rooms

I didn't think Everything Is Borrowed was shit. I quite liked it. A Grand Don't Come For Free is probably my favourite tho.

Bit too expensive for me to take an interest.

My mistake, there only one really poor one, The Hardest Way To Make An Easy Living.

Everything Was Borrowed wasn't great, only a handful of decent tracks, but it seemed alright after the woeful one before.

Yeah, no one wanted to hear a rich and famous bloke rapping about how hard it is to be rich and famous.

Really liking this mixtape. Agree that OPM was the best album aswell, and that Hardest Way to Make an Easy Living was pretty crap.. the odd song was ok though, Never Went to Church was alright I thought.

Went to a gig at Brixton Academy on the first tour and going there again for this one, looking forward to it. Smiley

Thats cool that you used to listen in those halls from the new cover, makes it more personal to you I suppose
