Jon Hopkins Contact Note 2LP

Jon Hopkins second album, Contact Note, on standard double black vinyl

Divided in three distinct movements, Contact Note slowly evolves into a deep, compelling musical experience concluding with the stunning third part where Jon masters to perfection his skills as a classically trained musician, to give his most abstract work delicate impressionist touches. Classical piano contrasts with drifting atmospheres and twisted rhythms on the dark, edgy and gripping "Black and Red" - to culminate with the waving synths and sumptuous vocals of the blissful "Luna Moth," the perfect end of a glorious sonic adventure.
