JOHN MARTYN: "MAY YOU NEVER" (ISLAND).
Seems to fade in from confusion, quietly take shape, and then fade away again at the end. A nice idea. This song has a gentle, hazy feel to it, with Martyn singing through a lilting guitars/ percussion sound. His voice is offset by some fine playing on what sounds like muted vibes. A beautiful record.
