Ritual (LP)
Jon Hopkins
Amoeba Review
On his latest, Jon Hopkins delivers just what he promises. Ritual feels ceremonial, otherworldly, a performance that touches something magical and unseen. Written as a single piece with eight chapters (aka songs), the sound rises and falls, its power never diminishing, as Hopkins takes the listener through sonic cathedrals and plumbs the very depths of the human experience. Ritual feels both timeless and futuristic, an invocation of a power that has long served as an inspiration to creatives and seekers throughout the ages.
