Opalescent

Jon Hopkins

This debut highlights a blend of synthetic layers and delicate piano melodies. It represents an early look at his interest in combining acoustic and electronic components for emotional effect.

Coming out while downtempo and IDM were growing more introspective, the record feels quite personal. These songs act as a starting point for the cinematic and broad style that became a staple of his later musical output.
