There are certain individuals who dedicate their entire lives to a singular pursuit — pushing boundaries, refining their craft to a level so profound that it leaves anyone fortunate enough to witness their work in absolute awe.
This album is one such example. A transcendent, immersive sound journey crafted by the genius of Jon Hopkins — a visionary music producer and architect of psychedelic soundscapes.
I recommend everybody to listen to this absolute masterpiece.
To fully experience its depth, follow this ritual:
- Close your eyes (an eye mask makes it even more immersive).
- Lie down somewhere comfortable.
- Use quality headphones.
- Listen from start to finish — without interruptions.
This isn’t just music — it’s a meticulously crafted sonic odyssey. It begins with a gentle, hypnotic rise, gradually unfolding into deeper layers of intensity, expanding and evolving until it reaches a breathtaking crescendo. The peak is both euphoric and overwhelming, a force that keeps pushing until it shatters into a vast, open release — before gently descending into a state of deep, restorative stillness.
For those exploring breathwork, meditation, or psychedelic journeys, this album serves as a potent guide — unlocking doors to states of consciousness that are rarely accessed in everyday life. When used in conjunction with these practices, it has the potential to facilitate deeply healing experiences, allowing for emotional release, clarity, and profound inner connection.
