Jon Hopkins Recovery

Jon Hopkins' next album, Singularity, will see release via Domino on May 4th. Singularity is influenced by the UK producer's experiences with meditation and trance states, the label says. It embraces a wide stylistic range that spans "rugged techno to transcendent choral music, from solo acoustic piano to psychedelic ambient."

Instrumental progressive rock album "Levin Torn White" is the kind of complex, intelligent, and experimental album that makes journeys into the genre rewarding and surprising. "Levin Torn White" is composed of Tony Levin on bass guitar and chapman stick, David Torn on guitar, and Alan White playing drums. On opening track "No Warning Lights", the calm, unfamiliar background noise gives way to a frantic drum and bass assault that sounds like the Space Mountain ride hurtling to hell.

Turkey is a second album by Wild Turkey. Former Jethro Tull bassist Glenn Cornick formed Wild Turkey after departing Tull in 1971. The initial line-up of the band featured Glenn Cornick (bass), Graham Williams (guitar), Alan Tweke Lewis (guitar), John Pugwash Weathers (drums) and Gary Pickford-Hopkins (vocals). Before recording their first album, Weathers and Williams departed the fold to be replaced by Jon Blackmore (guitar & vocals) and Jeff Jones (drums). The album Battle Hymn was released by Chrysalis Records in 1971 and was well received by fans and critics alike. By the time of the bands second album for Chrysalis Records, the line-up had changed again with Mick Dyche replacing Jon Blackmore on guitar and Steve Gurl joining on keyboards.
