It's not often to heard such music production!! No a single track is bad, or boring, wich is very rare on an entire electronic album. If you like, what some called IDM, or you looking for a excellent electronica album, this album is for you.
words like 'downtempo' and 'chillout' come off as somewhat derivative and limiting when trying to describe an album such as this. it really seems that a great amount of effort went into sculpting each detail and sound that you hear. gorgeous harmonies that never get stale or repetitive. also, that is imogen heap singing vocals on track 2.
great all around album. second sense really stands out. you can really hear alot more from this album when played on high quality speakers.
Circle, Symmetry and 100 are the less ethereal tracks - and the best. In the rest of the album, as with so much ambient/down tempo electronica, it feels like Hopkins is scared to offer up a melody or change a chord lest he wake you up.
This is an amazing album that can take you many different places. Hopkins sculpts a warm and cozy sonic journey with some starkly beautiful sounds...this guy knows what he's doing and I can't wait for another album. Fans of ambient, downtempo and chill electronica will want this in their collection, as would anyone who appreciates beautiful music.
Some of the best downtempo music being made today - most comparable to Ulrich Schnauss. Turn off the lights and exhale. Press play. Your stress will melt away.
