For The Record – A Video Interview With Jon Hopkins
The composer, pianist and self-taught producer has worked with Brian Eno, Herbie Hancock, David Holmes and Coldplay, yet few on our shores know of him — except for maybe the song he wrote for Coldplay’s Viva La Vida album, “Light Through The Veins”. Jon Hopkins‘ range of ambiant to trance to movie scores is nearly as impressive as his resume, which is just one of the reasons I wanted to talk to him. read more »

No Line On The Horizon
Undoubtedly, U2 pioneered new methods in tour and deservingly ascended themselves to God-like status in the music world.

Their infectious beats manage to permeate through your brain, leaving you unable to deny the trance of dance the foursome create, and Christina Aguilera’s people must have caught onto Ladytron’s noxious sound; having the two teams pair up in the studio together, collaborating on Aguilera’s upcoming album. read more »
