Album Notes & Community Reviews

Partially recorded outdoors to capture the natural ambient resonance of a lake, John Martyn's 'One World' is a profoundly ethereal, astonishingly eclectic singer-songwriter triumph. The record seamlessly integrates heavily delayed, wonderfully aquatic acoustic guitar playing with incredibly lush, deeply mellow dub textures, forging a beautifully atmospheric progressive folk experience.
