Opalescent is the debut studio album by English musician and producer Jon Hopkins, released on June 30, 2001 under Just Music and absolute zero His only assistance in the album came from his friend and regular collaborator Leo Abrahams, who plays Opalescent’s guitars.
In 1999 Hopkins signed with boutique London label Just Music as a solo artist, and began recording his debut album Opalescent. At the time he was also working part-time as a studio session musician. Opalescent attracted positive press attention upon its release, and several tracks were licensed to Sex and the City.
Hopkins spoke on how he felt about the album: "It’s always going to have a special place for me. It’s where it all began, and it was very personal, very heartfelt. There were tracks on it I will always be proud of. Now, I obviously don’t like everything on it, but you’re always critical of what you’ve done. Otherwise you wouldn’t move forward. I’ve tried to do every album in a different style, which is why I tend to leave a fair bit of time between each one. But yeah, it’s got a very specific sound all of its own, which is a valid step in my whole musical journey."
Reissue
Opalescent was remastered and reissued for its 15 year anniversary on August 26, 2016. It also was issued on vinyl for the first time that year.
