    Written, shot and directed by High Contrast himself, this is the official video for "High Contrast feat Tiësto and Underworld - The First Note Is Silent", the new single from High Contrast on Hospital Records out 31.10.11.
    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.

    A lot of people are going to say this is mainstream and hence it is shit, but I don't care what others say. This makes me feel so euphoric. I LOVE IT!

      Cool to see a comment of you here. I lived with your music when I was younger. Your playlists were on constantly when I was studying. I discovered so many good artists and music thanks to your channels. Merry christmas, sheepy.

      that's when the euphoria kicks in, and it doesn't happen all the time, only when you experience something extremely extremely pleasing, ecstasy in it's purest form, over whelming joy, etc.

      Think of it as a ‘you scratch my back and I scratch yours’ kind of thing. It’s a HC one (and absolutely wank by his high standards) but Tiesto contributed and is credited as a co-writer.

We have one of the finest groups in electronic music, Underworld, who matches up with trance royalty, Tiësto, and brings together an awesome match with High Contrast! What happens next is drum and bass magic! For those who love house, trance, and everything in between... give this track a chance. Easily my favorite track of the month, and a contender for track of the year!

    The video isnt some kind of narrative story (apart from maybe the tubby guy) its a collection of scenes that imo sum up different aspects of life. Childhood innocence (kids playing), a mothers love for a child (girl playing with daughter), going wild and partying (club scene), Having fun with friends (shopping trolley), struggling to master something (guy with violin), feeling guilt in the face of God (crying guy) and the emptyness of knowing death is coming (tubby guy). That's why it's awesome.
