A Summer Tamarind is a return to previous recording styles
and songwriting values. Martin had amassed quite a pile of songs
both during and after the Light Program period but unless they
had that particular vibe they didn't make it onto this album. 
The album was recorded at Martin's
old friend Carl Seager's house. Carl plays some guitar and all
the bass except Mulberry Harbour and Stella & Charlie which
Martin took care of. Carl played all the REAL drums.
The album has been well received and some say it's the best
since The Greatest Living Englishman. Some may say that, that
is up to them. It's a lovely album and an essential addition
to any Newell fans' wardrobe.
