It may well be somewhere between heaven, hell and the troubled waters, running down the Thames Delta towards Eden. It may involve techno and a distorted state or simply friends sitting listening to music together, sailing in the open sea of their minds. This is the world of Jon Hopkins, not so much connecting the dots as coloring the whole damn picture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAfter releasing his debut album 'Opalescent' at the tender age of 21 in 1999, he has collaborated with Brian Eno and David Holmes, produced King Creosote and, via Eno, worked on three Coldplay albums. He released the groundbreaking album 'Immunity' in 2013, which was nominated for the Mercury Prize.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe trajectory with which Hopkins triumphed on 'Immunity' also features on Late Night Tales with a perfectly sculpted excursion into this panoramic mix. Beginning with composer Ben Lukas Boysen's unreleased 'Sleepers Beat Theme,' ghostly pianos glide elegantly hither and thither, between ascending strings, as in Darkstar's 'Hold Me Down.' Nils Frahm is here, his sonic palette perfect for the job, while label mates A Winged Victory For The Sullen contribute 'Requiem For The Static King Part I.' Jónsi \u0026amp; Alex's heroic Sigur Ros offshoot 'Daniell In The Sea' sends us towards the Baltic with tears in our eyes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBeats occasionally appear, as in Holy Other's Grace Jones sampling 'Yr Love' or Black Country acts Bibio and Letherette, whose 'After Dawn' is almost nimble compared to the minor key symphonies on show here. Perfect contrast comes from Alela Diane's melancholic 'Lady Divine' or even Four Tet's 'Gillie Amma I Love You,' with its charming children's choir. Exclusive to this release, Jon Hopkins delivers a surprisingly vulnerable new piano version of Yeasayer's 'I Remember.'\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePoet and Brian Eno collaborator (their joint album 'Drums Between The Bells' was released by Warp in 2011) Rick Holland narrates the exclusive spoken word closer 'I Remember,' supported with additional sound design by Hopkins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\"Putting this album together was a unique opportunity for me to showcase music I've been listening to for years, free from the constraints of a club environment or trying to stick to a single genre. I chose tracks not only because they have been important to me, but for how they complement each other, putting as much thought into the transitions and overall narrative as into the track choices. I mixed by key and texture more than anything, using original sound design, pivot notes and often recording new synth or piano parts to link things together in a way that flows as naturally as possible. I hope you enjoy it.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eJon Hopkins - 2015\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tenampa Record Shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43990228336803,"sku":"","price":750.0,"currency_code":"MXN","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0583\/1239\/2867\/files\/a2622508011_10.jpg?v=1707271444","url":"https:\/\/tenampa.mx\/en\/products\/late-night-tales-jon-hopkins","provider":"Tenampa","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
