Solid Air

"Solid Air" is a folk jazz album released in 1973 by John Martyn on Island Records. The album was rated as the 67th Greatest British Album Ever by the British music magazine Q, and was also included in their list of Best Chill-Out Albums Of All Time. In 2006, Martyn performed the album live in its entirety as part of the All Tomorrow's Parties-curated Don't Look Back series and subsequently toured the UK. A double CD reissue curated by John Hillarby was released in 2009, including several alternate studio and live versions. The album cover is an example of schlieren photography demonstrating the 'solid' nature of air.
