Well, it's a stunningly beautiful Friday afternoon and I've just had a vinyl session of Nick Drake's music. From 'Made to love magic' through to 'Bryter later' it's been an amazing afternoon. I'm using my Linn Basik with Alphason Xenon tonearm and Denon DL160 cartridge loaded with 220 Ohms and 100pf's and it's absolute bliss. I can't wait to finally get a Linn LP12.
Regarding Nick Drake though, does anyone out there prefer his later, darker stuff to his jollier, brighter earlier stuff...??? OK, we all know where the story ends and it's another of music's great tragedy's but I think personally, I prefer the earlier stuff. Riverman though is stunning.
