Review in The Wire magazine
The current issue of the Wire magazine September 2008 Issue #295 has had a few words to say about my last last release 'Unanswered Questions'
‘Unanswered Questions is a strong collection of pieces, where editing and (re)assembling take precedence over spontaneity, with the momentum on the majority on these tracks provided by Hopkins’s layering and juxtaposing of edits. For the most part, he resists the sort of drone based sound that dominates so much Ambient experimentation, and instead places the stress on reverberation and crackling, percussive noise. There’s not much capacity for drift – deep pulses, the hard twanging of guitar strings and the repetition of echoes sit at the core of Hopkins’s work.’
