Jon Hopkins - Immunity

[Redruth]

"A powerful, multi-faceted beast, packed with the most aggressively dancefloor-focussed music Hopkins has ever made, Immunity is about achieving euphoric states through music. Inspired by the arc of an epic night out, the album peaks with Collider, a huge, apocalyptic, techno monster and dissolves with the quiet, heartbreakingly beautiful closer, Immunity, a track featuring vocals from King Creosote which could sit comfortably alongside the gems of their Mercury-nominated collaboration, Diamond Mine."

Can't wait

[Drix]

Sounds like this could be another great album. Hard to tell form samples though, and some of the first songs sounded a little too much alike, but it got better so really looking forward to this! Insides was in rotation for a loong time when it came out. Need to give it a respin again.

Streaming now on NPR!

[Ifeelspace]

He's a top producer. This is really nice as expected

[ZmillA]

sounds so good

[spratters]

This is great. Can't help but think I've spoilt it slightly by streaming beforehand but, fuck it I'm gonna get a tonne of use out of it when I get it.

[Guest trananhhung]

This is out guys and you should be listening to it.

[Guest Rulohead32]

I heard the first half of the album, I haven't had time to finish it, but it's great, so organic.

[Guest Remoteviewing]

Cant believe this guy doesn't get more recognition for his talent.

[sidewinder]

I've only listened to Insides previously. I feel like I was really into it for a bit, but now that it's been a while I can't really remember what it sounds like.

 

Samples for this sound good. I don't know, I think my tastes have changed. Maybe it's that so many people are making this type of music these days that I feel I've heard it all. This is probably not the right thread to talk about that. Except that while listening to the samples on Amazon, I like what I hear but I'm not motivated to actually listen to it at the moment. And it's not you, it's me.

[Guest Rulohead32]

I've heard the album and I've gotta say it's a brilliant piece, although I have to listen to it more. The track 5 is so calming and the last song reminds me of Sigur Rós.

[Guest Jimmy McMessageboard]

This is excellent. (only 2 tracks in)

[crono3]

I got this today and gave it a listen on my bike ride... gotta say I'm not so impressed. For sure I need to listen to it more, but it sounded very underwhelming compared to Insides. Hopefully it'll grow on me.

[NorthernFusion]

Cant believe this guy doesn't get more recognition for his talent.

Same here, he's outrageous for an artist signed to Domino.

[Kooch]

Amazing album. My favorite electronic album so far this year.

[Guest oldenjon]

Damn. Was sure that I'd favor the new BoC over this, but I'm really impressed. Also my favorite of the year so far

[Redruth]

jon hopkins trademark elasticity and blissful melodies. beautiful

[sidewinder]

On the last track of my first pass. I was more into the first half of the album, something made me lose a bit of interest in the second half. I think it became too atmospheric and floaty or something. Further listening could help.
