While Immunity charted the dark alternative : :' reality of an epic night out, Singularity sets out to venture ': ,: further outward into the unknown, stretching the ideas behind :, : Immunity further and deeper into new, thrilling yet uncharted : :' waters. This new sense of adventure is achieved by Jon Hopkins' ': ,: ability to sketch out vast emotive night lands to wander :, : through, worlds without any obvious signposts for what is : :' expected of you to feel, yet filled with music that strikes the ': ,: perfect balance between inward and outer-reaching high life :, : euphoria and more reflective moments of melancholy, both of : :' which this is an absolutely necessary soundtrack for. ': ,: :, : Throughout Singularity, there are many moments of clear clarity : :' such as lead single 'Emerald Rush' which gave us the first ': ,: house heavy bloom of what kind of sound Jon Hopkins was looking :, : to sculpt in Singularity. In the true tradition of all great : :' long players, it's a proper journey where each track feels like ': ,: its own entire galaxy. Complete with soaring highs an epic, :, : slow-motion downward facing lows. By the final note of each : :' piece, there is a true feeling of completion and closure as you ': ,: venture on to reach the next stage. Highlights for us are the :, : soundwave slow life of 'Feel First Life' where we bask within : :' the hollowed out drum-less moments of Burial's UKG classic ': ,: Untrue. Yet the absolute key go to track has to be the 10 minute :, : plus techno gear of æEverything ConnectedÆ which sees Jon : :' Hopkins channel the emotiveness of Alessandro Cortini's best ': ,: work, yet plugs it directly into the software sensibility of :, : Clark at his most techno. : :' ': ,: For an artist who has written melancholic shore-leave folk with :, : King Creosote and oceanic ambient with Brian Eno, the prospect : :' of Jon Hopkins returning to the electronic/tech sound of ': ,: Immunity for his first new flex in half a decade is for many of :, : us a mouth-watering prospect. Singularity is a truly epic : :' experience from start to finish, one that flows seamlessly from ': ,: rugged tech-house floor fillers to transcendent choral music, :, : from solo acoustic piano to ambient with ease, confidence and : :' clarity. Singularity is as vast a psychedelic, yet endlessly ': ,: uplifting flight, that almost certainly will land as one of the :, : best electronic records you could ever hope to encounter. : :' ': : ' '.. ..' .. . :........... . . . . ............: . . ______________ ______________ \ / \ / \ / Shout out to all our homies from: \ / \ / \ / \ / iPC BOSS HiT2000 1way UKi i8 RNS \ / \ / RAGEMP3 MANDY DV8 pLAN9 BUTT \ / \ / \ / \/ ____ ____ \/ \ / F A N G \ / \/ 2 0 1 8 \/
