Retro Music Lovers (up to and including 31/12/1999)

On this rather drunken Friday, I present to you a thing of absolute beauty. I believe my last post was John Martyn as well, but who can get enough of him?

Small Hours, a gem.

"A pre-dawn symphony scored in reverb. Recorded in the wee hours of a summer morning in 1977, the microphones scattered around Chris Blackwell’s Berkshire farmstead, ‘Small Hours’ is a genuinely ambient recording. The flight of passing geese flying low over the lake, the rattle of the passing mail train, the gentle lapping of the water, the rush of early morning air all contribute to the pastoral aural tapestry. It offers a glimpse of Martyn’s restless soul finding a moment of peace."
