His 3 cds are superb (Opalescent, Contact Note & Insides) His production techniques are something else. It strangley reminds me of Mike Oldfield particularly Opalescent. I see him as a modern day MO if he started out in 2010.... His track 'Light Through The Veins' is the start of Viva La Vida by Coldplay (Life In Technicolour) Back to top

Just search in you tube for Jon Hopkins and look for tracks Cerulean or Private Universe to start with Back to top

Thea Cochrane Group: Musicians Posts: 445 Joined: Nov. 1999 Posted: Oct. 08 2010, 17:19 I completely agree, Jon Hopkins is brilliant. He often collaborates with a guitarist called Leo Abrahams (who is also a producer in his own right - and they both worked with Brian Eno on his forthcoming album). Leo Abrahams might be to the taste of people around here too, I particularly recommend his album "Honeytrap" as a good starting point. Back to top

Someone else I listen to a lot at the moment is Ulrich Schnauss. Great melodic soundscapes and I think would appeal to MO fans alike. Back to top
