Following his collaboration “Scribble” on Underworld’s album “Barking” last year, and his remix of Tiësto’s “Kaleidoscope” in 2009, the Cardiff based producer behind such contemporary classics as “Racing Green”, “If We Ever” and “Kiss Kiss Bang Bang” is back to take up his rightful place as one of UK dance music’s elite.

The First Note Is Silent” will be the first single from High Contrast new album, which is due out February 2012 on Hospital. The track is a superb demonstration of his ear for a good hook bringing in the talents of stadium trance maestro Tiësto and legendary UK electronic outfit Underworld.

Expect soaring, feel-good synths with the uplifting rush of Tiësto’s trademark trance, euphoric piano keys, pounding drums and yearning polished vocals from Karl Hyde in “The First Note Is Silent”, gelled together in with the expansive widescreen production for which High Contrast has become known.

Song Lyrics

Living alone
I’m feeling naked and alone
Falling out to nothing

Chaos like a cloak
Like a cloud
Noises in my head

Beauty, behind me a bird sing
Battles in our world
Like music, probably wake up blind

Living alone
Living alone

Falling out of nothing into everything
Falling out of nothing into everything

Living alone
Living alone

Falling out of nothing into everything
Falling out of nothing, nothing, nothing
