Not only an amazing artist, Jon Hopkins is a wonderful man. A year ago I wrote to him how much his music helped me in time when I divorced.. especially when I was returning my daughters to my ex.. I was driving listening to his Immunity album and many times I had tears in my eyes. Well, he replied to me saying that he is thankful for my words and the impact his music had on me.. Not many would do something like that. He is someone with a deep heart and soul, and that is obvious in his music.

The look on that young man's face is something I recognize all too well, or atleast, they picked an amazing actor the face of living life to the fullest, enjoying it, just being in the zone. Being happy. Being in the moment. Being thankful. Enjoying right now to the fullest, and realizing it in the moment with a smile on your face. Man, I can't wait to try LSD again. It gives me all those feelings sober. The first time I watched this was during a trip, and it had me completely zoned in studying every detail. One thing I remember clearly is thinking "he's feeling the same thing I am.. Incredibly Lucky."

Such a fresh perspective on electronic music. The song moves seamlessly from Eno-esque ambience to a colossal techno beast. Hopkins has produced perhaps the most subtle yet forceful pieces of music I have heard in years.

I discovered this tune back in 2014. It had a massive impact on me. I kept it on replay for days and weeks, and my taste in music has changed ever since. This tune has really shaped who I am now!

Saw him live in Edinburgh a few weeks before lockdown started, and it made up for everything else I'm going to miss this year. Genuinely the best gig I've been to, split perfectly in half between his ambient piano and tunes like this and Emerald Rush. For half the set the audience sat in enraptured silence listening to his piano. and for the other half the whole of the Usher Hall was stood up, raving. Never seen a gig like it: it was the perfect way to end my second year at uni before corona hit, so grateful.

Was playing this in the store I work at yesterday and this woman's like "I cannot stand this music ugghhghghghg I can't agghskjapf it's awful" I was like thereisthedoorthankyouforyourtime.

This is soo amazing. That main bass that seems to change and do unexpected things and the ambient sound that surrounds it.... This amazing feel you get from it... Jon Hopkins is a true crafts men at what he makes and I give him all my respect

beauty beyond preconceptions. perfect fussion of image and sound.

Really classy and amazing piece

did the best snowboard run of my life listening to this

it's amazing how you can hear so many things in one song. how it can incite so many feelings. i see and hear freedom and liberation with the video alongside. but then i return and there's an edginess, and a solitude, even sorrow. the genius that is jon hopkins

I discovered Jon Hopkins only a few weeks ago. This was after two years of not listening to any music at all, or films for that matter. It all reminded me too much of a world left behind due to Covid. This is the most beautiful, uniquely original music I have heard in years, and it inspires me to start listening and watching again in a world anew, with future possibilities beyond the present existential threats we are all facing. Jon Hopkins, I cannot thank you enough.

6 years from this masterpiece.

Have loved this song for years, 'been freakin watchin Chris Chann's vlogs for weeks now, So trippy when the two come together like some sort of scavenger hunt

I had a shitty exam today and on my way home I listened to this, It gave me the feeling of moving on and never to look back. That what it meant to me at least today. Great tune indeed.

Gotta be filmed in Lucerne Valley, Big Bear, 29 Palms, Palm Springs, all over So-cal. Lotta memories.

When I tried to share this on FB I received a message that it had been blocked because other viewers reported that it had content that was considered abusive. The only things I could think of that elicit that type of response is the skateboarder skating through the toxic smoke of the burning tire, or the later simulation of someone on fire. I suspect that the real motivation for such reports is that it's portrayal of social decline is too real for bourgeoisie tastes.
