Not only an amazing artist, Jon Hopkins is a wonderful man. A year ago I wrote to him how much his music helped me in time when I divorced.. especially when I was returning my daughters to my ex.. I was driving listening to his Immunity album and many times I had tears in my eyes. Well, he replied to me saying that he is thankful for my words and the impact his music had on me.. Not many would do something like that. He is someone with a deep heart and soul, and that is obvious in his music.

@ZeranZeran Жыл бұрын

The look on that young man's face is something I recognize all too well, or atleast, they picked an amazing actor the face of living life to the fullest, enjoying it, just being in the zone. Being happy. Being in the moment. Being thankful. Enjoying right now to the fullest, and realizing it in the moment with a smile on your face. Man, I can't wait to try LSD again. It gives me all those feelings sober. The first time I watched this was during a trip, and it had me completely zoned in studying every detail. One thing I remember clearly is thinking "he's feeling the same thing I am.. Incredibly Lucky."

Such a fresh perspective on electronic music. The song moves seamlessly from Eno-esque ambience to a colossal techno beast. Hopkins has produced perhaps the most subtle yet forceful pieces of music I have heard in years.

Saw him live in Edinburgh a few weeks before lockdown started, and it made up for everything else I'm going to miss this year. Genuinely the best gig I've been to, split perfectly in half between his ambient piano and tunes like this and Emerald Rush. For half the set the audience sat in enraptured silence listening to his piano. and for the other half the whole of the Usher Hall was stood up, raving. Never seen a gig like it: it was the perfect way to end my second year at uni before corona hit, so grateful.
