My favourite John Martyn album. 

John Martyn - The Church With One Bell

And very rare now.

The funerially-paced version of 'The Sky is Crying' is a favourite hi fi test piece of mine. Absolutely love that track - and pretty much everything he did. A remarkable musician....

Was exploring on Tidal, quite a haunting first song and a high male voice, give it a try.....

 

Another run of this one via Tidal, while similar style throughout the album, many might get hooked on the first song and stay...., give it a try......, for those liking ambient pop music...

A + 3 | 16/96 WAV download

(2015)

Eponymous solo album featuring the acoustic guitar of Brazilian Matheus Novaes occasionally overdubbed with another. Relaxing shoegaze style that drifts along quite nicely but never really gets anywhere... pleasant enough though.

Due to the sheer quality of their output i tend to overlook this album when browsing my Goldfrapp collection. Not today though.

It's still a lovely album and my first introduction to them back in 2000 via 'Utopia'. Looking forward to a proper listen tonight when i get home. 

Goldfrapp - Felt Mountain

Ornette Coleman wrote some great melodies.

Suzanne Vega Close Up series. Wasn't aware of these until seeing them on this place. Excellent, so thanks all for posting!

It was a stunning debut album and along with Tales of Us are the ones I play most, returning to time and again.

'Ornette Coleman wrote some great melodies.'
