Masterpiece

I have to admit. When I found out this was going to be an ambient project, I was a little disappointed. Jon’s last album was so spectacular, and his drum programming is easily some of the best out there. I was afraid this may be more of a curiosity, rather than the next “chapter” in Jon Hopkins evolution.
I was wrong to assume.
This record is absolutely gorgeous. It puts Hopkins up there with ambient gods like Burial, or The Caretaker.
It happens that I’m undergoing psychedelic therapy, and it is perfect for that, but it’s also a beautiful album to wake up to, fall asleep to, meditate to, or talk a long walk with. Don’t miss out on this one.
