It contains 9 tracks, which are...

  • 'Solid Air', the title track. Dedicated to a friend of Martyn's, Nick Drake , who was suffering from Depression and died of an Antidepressant Overdose 18 months after the album was released.

  • 'Over The Hill', which sparked controversy on its release as it contains the phrase 'sweet Cocaine '. This was then changed to 'dry champagne' in an effort to sell more copies.

  • 'Go Down Easy'

  • 'Dreams By The Sea'
