Actually, I sort of agree with this.  I love Nick Drake and that's why I prefer Pink Moon to Brighter Layter (?sp) and the reason this track only gets a 9 from me.

haha. seriously! doesn't get better.
tragic irony is that nick was so unappreciated in his own time that he was driven to suicide.

There's something really right about hearing Nick Drake on RP.

Though I'm not completely drawn in to Nick Drake...I am surprised how relevant and recent this style and recording sounds these days.

Agreed. I first heard Nick on the Royal Tenenbaums film soundtrack. Looked him up and fell in love...

Without RP, prolly never would have heard or known about the amazing enigmatic talent of this brilliant but troubled man.  I'm reveling in it!

Simply love all of his music. You are right: literary + introspective  but also oh so tender and pure

Or for that matter I would like to hear anyone describe any of the senses or the thought process. There was that great scene in "Children of a Lesser God" where William Hurt tried to describe what music was to Marlee Matlin who was deaf. He failed miserably, of course, but it makes you think about how much of the human experience is beyond description.
