Rupert Shean- The one man Radiohead

I was surfing Youtube, in search of some new, cool Trip-Hop artists. Naturally, by typing "trip hop" in the key word search, the first results generated were all titled "Trip Hop." After, clicking away a few videos, RU appeared in the related videos with a clip titled "Hypnotic Trip Hop Beats Through A Classical guitar." The track was every bit as compelling as its title. But even after this brilliant Jazz improv demonstration, I had no idea that what had yet to come were going to hit me as hard as they did. The next track I clicked on was called "Then
To My Surprise
." It carried the same emotions as the introductory track, but I was already getting more into it.

Like a dose of heroine, the third one is the one that got me hooked. "
And When You Grow Up" reformatted my heartbeat to synch up with its rhythm.
The comments on all his tracks shout the same message "Fucking Brilliant!" "Excellent!" and one after the other requesting a CD. The artist replied to one of his praising that he was working on a double CD, one with his raw, unedited drum'n'strumming and the second one, a remix of his tracks with an electronica dimension. I've never wanted to buy a record more than I want to possess this prodigal work. With 119 subscribers, Shean made one of his videos, my introduction to this music, circulate over 24,000 views while the rest of his vids have not attracted more than 3,000 views each. I could say more about this artist, but I'm just wasting the time you could be spending listening to his pieces...
