1001 Albums Summary

Reminds me of knitting in half light on a spooky December afternoon with the decorations from Halloween still up. If I have one criticism, I wish they sang in a Scandinavian accent rather than one from the deep south.

Horrible. I'm guessing the distortion is intentional but it's virtually unlistenable.

I'm not sure the production style suits John Martyn, but his vocals are as good as ever and there's no denying the emotional impact of the songs. But it's great that he was trying new sounds and recorded the album despite the turmoil he was in.

Perfect for the dancefloor, a few ballads vary the tempo. Happy music for happy times

It's well intentioned and skilfully played rock music. Vocally, they sound a LOT like REM. All in all, this is a decent effort with a cool album cover for extra kudos.

A sprightly collection of world music rhythms that's cheerfully played and passionately sung. Another fine selection, most likely to get served at your hip neighbour's cocktail party.
