His newest album is great. He uses a 12-string guitar. He's kind of like a Fahey in a sense, but still unique.
A post on waffles under one of his albums had this...
"Initially inspired by the guitarists of the 60’s Takoma label to teach himself fingerpicking, James Blackshaw writes long-form pieces primarily for solo 12-string guitar that are heavily influenced by minimalist composers and European classical music and which use drones, overtones and repeating patterns alongside a strong inclination for melody to create instrumental music that is both intelligent, hypnotic and emotionally charged."

Nice album. He has a new one coming out in May, with piano and female vocals apparently. It's called "The Glass Bead Game". He also plays on the new (and great) Current 93 album.
