About Contact Note by Jon Hopkins Album
Hopkins' second album, 'Contact Note', follows up his debut outing of Opalescent. Contact Note marks a departure from the nature of individual tracks and creates a journey across the entire album with three distinct parts. From classical piano to rhythm-heavy more beat-friendly tracks, Hopkins' garnered positive reviews as it illustrated that his creativity had evolved during the three years between albums. Proving hugely popular amongst chillout and ambient fans alike, intricate beat patterns are coupled with melancholic soundscapes and lush sounding compositions which help to create a sound very much his own. To promote the release of Contact Note, Hopkins played live with the assistance of Imogen Heap (who provided vocals on the album).
