In retrospect--two years later
After listening to this CD for two years, giving it many second chances, and listening to MB for the last six, it must be said that like all new, slick, hip material it has not aged well. Like a can of Cola left open for two years, it's gone rather flat and sticky. Take the wow-ee-zow-ee drum and bass machine out of it and what do you have? A pretty amazing instrumentalist who loves his weed (see the liner notes). I wonder what Martyn would sound like sober and solo. A whiter shade of pale, perhaps? Or, something really exciting, and lasting?
