In the 1980's he continued to record and tour. In 1983 , a new radio station, in the south of England named Radio Mercury used parts from Miles hit song Music for their link jingles. The actual song itself received extensive airplay on the station too, leading one to speculate this was perhaps part of a deal for the usage in their jingles.
