I like 'Stormbringer' and 'Road to Ruin', but then I like all his albums up to and including 'Grace and Danger'. After that I lost interest in his dabbling with AOR, but I did listen to one of his last recordings: 'Glasgow Walker' which wasn't too bad, but not a patch on his earlier work.
I used to excuse his 'slurring' as Martyn wanting to use his voice as an instrument, rather like 'scat' singing in jazz, but it could of course just be that he was drunk half the time. He and Danny Thompson could put it away!
By the way do you mean 'The Tumbler'?

Let's hope this is not one of the unforeseen consequences of Brexit. One positive aspect of the EU era is that while the big multinationals have bought up our big brewers and homogenised their output, it is now possible to buy good quality beers from a plethora of small producers.

Something of a redundancy there. All the consequences of Brexit are unforeseen.
Although I would be happy to see the return of the party seven on purely nostalgic grounds, I'd be unlikely to buy one. I should get a new copy of Solid Air though. Got it on tape but no tape deck anymore. Must be 25 years since I heard it last.
Current Lash Up:
TEAC VRDS 701T > Sony TAE1000ESD > Krell KSA50S > JM Labs Focal Electra 926.
Perhaps Party Seven was stopped because it messed with continental Europe's metric mindset, or maybe because it was crap.
