Our Take

Step aside, Bangers and Mash, there's a new British gem in town and it goes by the name of HUGH HOPPER. His latest album, aptly titled "1984," is a red vinyl masterpiece that demands to be spun on repeat.

Hopper, known for his work with the legendary Soft Machine, flexes his musical muscles on this record, offering up a heady blend of jazz, fusion, and experimental sounds that will have you tapping your toes and scratching your head in equal measure. It's like taking a trip through a psychedelic funhouse, with Hopper as your eccentric guide.

From the moment the needle hits the groove, you're transported to a world where anything is possible and the only rule is to expect the unexpected. The haunting melodies, intricate rhythms, and mind-bending solos will leave you wondering just how one man can pack so much talent into one album.

But it's not all serious business with Hopper. Tracks like "Funky Monkey" and "Groove Machine" inject a healthy dose of fun into the mix, proving that even avant-garde jazz can get down and boogie when the mood strikes.

So, grab yourself a cuppa, settle in with your favourite record player, and prepare to be taken on a wild musical ride courtesy of HUGH HOPPER. Trust us, you won't be disappointed.
