    It's an album that shows, beyond any doubt, that Jon Hopkins is a singular electronic talent not bound by either his past or expectations. [Oct 2024, p.101]

    Jon Hopkins’ compositional abilities are in fine form throughout. His views on his work are modest: “I have no idea what I’m doing when I’m composing. It is a mindless act. I’m following a thread, a trail.” Yet, Hopkins also has a fine ear for nuance and a natural sense of dynamics, making the music on RITUAL deliberately create an emotional experience for the listener.

    It may not be fun, exactly, but taken in the right context, RITUAL is an album experience unlike any other. It’s not for the club, and it is absolutely not meant to be broken up and distributed into playlists, but it has a purpose and a direction of its own, and it leaves the listener to decide what to use it for for themselves. With this album, Jon Hopkins continues to push the boundaries of what electronic composition can be.
