Comment:

Nothing new here and one or two tracks feature on other mixes I've submitted so apologies asked for there but in my defence this mix is a birthday pressie for a new mate I've made out here en France; John's a great bloke but I feel duty bound to introduce him to something other than bloody Pink Floyd. Whilst I've nothing againt a little PF, John plays virtually nothing else.

i'm never going to agree with you on starsailor, but the rest of it looks class.

Looks swell to me, although I second the Starsailor analysis (not the album by Tim Buckley, but the band) and I have to admit that "Cecilia" makes my skin crawl. ;-)

A fine mellow mix , including my Fave John Martyn track... in fact i really like 6-10 ... then it gets into disputed Starsailor territory!!

Brilliant opening duo there FC..."...in Glastonbury we got high..", amen. (Have never heard Starsailor so I can't say one way or the other about including....)

Nice opener and closer with some cool picks inbetween. Kinda agree with Rob on Cecilia but I'm not sure about Starsailor. I've recently got their two albums (out of the library actually)and although there are some wonderful songs scattered about it is hard to listen to the entire album at least until maybe it grows on me more.

I'm with you all re Star Sailor in general, but have to admit I think 'Silence Is Easy is a great song.
