"Solid Air" is my only John Martyn record but it is not only great musically but sonically as well. Listening to the title track on a really good system (ok, my system), when the sax comes in I nearly jump out of my seat it is so spookily real. The microdynamics are very, very nice. I sometimes play this LP to demonstrate what a good hifi can add to the enjoyment of great music.
John Martyn
Sometimes you read about an artist that is vaguely familiar to you but you can't really recall much about them. So I read a bit about Martyn and decided to use You Tube at work to listen to 2 of his better known albums...Solid Air and Bless The Weather. Interesting jazzy/folk laid back tunes...I'm digging them. Sounds decent on my crappy desktop speakers. Hope these are well recorded...if done well I can see how I can lose myself in the music. I now know what my next 2 music purchases will be.
