His last solo album for Beggars, 1995’sCascade, came after a time of change for Murphy. He had dissolved his longtime backing band and moved to Turkey with his family. After a year of soul-searching and re-discovery, the songs flowed. He said: “It confirmed my belief that writing like painting or any art form comes from a very silent place that’s not dependent on outside stimulus. It was like rediscovering the initial innocence and purity that’s there when you join your first band.” The album was written withPaul Stathamand produced byPascal Gabriel.
