3 Nick Drake : Northern Sky
Just perfect. I remember first hearing a cover of this song by Faith over reason a few years before I had even heard about Nick Drake. I can still picture driving home from my nans house through frost covered fields beneath a pristine blue sky. If I could capture a moment to savour for ever, it would have been this.

I so love the side-by-side of Jeff Buckley and "I Know It's Over" -- it makes me think of his (half-)cover of it on "Mystery White Boy." They go together so well. And Galaxie 500: yum.

The transistions from Nick Drake to Tindersticks are breathtaking, and I assume that the ones I don't know (roughly the same ones as Osborne) keep to this amazing standard. Very beautiful.
