Martyn was by this time burnt out on the music industry. A hippy folkster who'd lived several of these years in a druggy haze. Martyn took some time out to chill out and clean up in Jamaica with producer Lee 'Scratch' Perry.
Martyn came back kicking, with this album that meshes his folk background with some modern instrumentation and interesting techniques (some songs were recorded outside at night with additional microphones set up at a distance to capture the ambience). "Big Muff" despite being the name of one of the more popular guitar fuzz pedals, is a beautifully atmospheric and melodic track.
