I think Hopkins consistently produces good stuff but I also find it hard to get super excited about him.

This is where I am with him. He’s very capable as a producer and composer but I can’t seem to click with his thing.
Started hearing this new one yesterday and got super bored, skipped ahead and it was more of the same thing… I guess it serves a very specific purpose.

I've no experience of ketamine at all, but I was intrigued by an episode in the last series of High Maintenance where someone uses/abuses a ketamine nasal spray.- which is apparently a real treatment for depression. That looked like it could be fun to do with this soundtrack.

Ram Dass track was suprisingly beautiful. Not sure if it really benefits from repeat listens but as a one off I was surprised by how well it did. Then again, one of my favourite BOC tracks has that cheesy porn monologue in it so maybe this will continue to hold up as well?

Belatedly reporting back that the only part I like of this is the 'excerpt' - I have difficulty finding any interest in the rest of it.
I'm sure he's super sincere, but this is so credulous:
“You can eat a psilocybin mushroom from the ground, and it teaches you a lesson about the importance of the ecosystem that generated that very mushroom. The message is right there, so it’s kind of impossible to ignore.”
Err.. do you have a theory about Hemlock, or even Tobacco?
― Luna Schlosser, Saturday, 19 February 2022 13:18 (two years ago) link
Hemlock is poisonous in toto, and is mostly used for pulpwood.
Tobacco must be cured before consumption.
What he's saying is a bit hippie-ish, yes, but it's also true to a certain extent-- a tiny mushroom can make you see God.
