Our Take

Hugh Hopper, the jazz genius behind Soft Machine, has us spinning like a broken record with his latest offering, "Jazzloops: The Stolen Hour." This album is like a wild rollercoaster ride through a sonic wonderland, with Hopper pulling out all the stops and blowing our minds with his funky bass lines and mind-bending improvisation.

From the moment the first track kicks in, we are transported to a magical realm where jazz meets electronica meets avant-garde insanity. Hopper's bass playing is as tight as a pair of skinny jeans on a hipster, while his collaborators keep us on our toes with their off-kilter rhythms and unexpected twists and turns.

Tracks like "Funky Fusion Frenzy" and "Groove In the Gloom" showcase Hopper's ability to seamlessly blend genres and create a sound that is uniquely his own. It's like he's taken the best bits of Miles Davis, Frank Zappa, and Aphex Twin, thrown them in a blender, and hit the puree button.

Overall, "Jazzloops: The Stolen Hour" is a must-listen for anyone who appreciates boundary-pushing music that defies categorization. Hopper is a true musical visionary, and this album is yet another feather in his cap. So grab your headphones, pour yourself a stiff drink, and prepare to be blown away by the sheer brilliance of Hugh Hopper. Cheers, mate.
