Description
Originally launched by Just Music in 2001, Jon Hopkins' debut album 'Opalescent' has been remastered for vinyl. It will be released on heavy - weight vinyl in a stunning double gatefold sleeve that showcases the original artwork and comes with sleeve notes penned by Hopkins himself. This release commemorates the 15th anniversary of this now - classic album. It was an outstanding debut from a 21 - year - old Hopkins, who is now a well - known recording artist, an Ivor Novello - nominated film score composer, and a prominent producer collaborating with artists like Coldplay, Brian Eno, and Natasha Khan. He has twice been nominated for the Mercury Prize, for his album 'Diamond Mine' with King Creosote and his solo album 'Immunity'. 'Opalescent' masterfully blends light and dark, beauty and mystery, creating a glorious atmosphere where trip - hop beats and chill - out music become Hopkins' personal territory. It's sometimes eerie, sometimes majestic, and always deeply musical. Side A includes tracks like 'Elegiac', 'Private Universe', 'Halcyon', 'Opalescent', 'Lost In Thought', and 'Fading Glow'. Side B features 'Apparition', 'Inner Peace', 'Cerulean', 'Grace', 'Cold Out There', and 'Afterlife'.
To enjoy your Opalescent vinyl LP, first, make sure your turntable is clean and properly set up. Gently remove the vinyl from the sleeve, holding it by the edges to avoid fingerprints. Place it on the turntable and start the playback. When you're done, carefully put the vinyl back into the sleeve to protect it from dust and scratches. Store the LP in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat. This will help maintain the quality of the vinyl and the sound for a long time.
