- “Night Comes On” by Leonard Cohen (from Various Positions) I’ve been listening to lots of Leonard Cohen recently.
- “Suzanne” by Judy Collins (from Colors Of The Day)
- “The Ballad Of Ron And Popo” by the Legendary Pink Dots (from Chemical Playschool Volume 9) Just to prove I don’t usually edit these lists: this is probably the most obscure and inaccessible track of all 398 LPD tracks in my library – and that’s saying something!
- “Dan Solo (Album Edit)” by Groove Armada (from Northern Star) Bossa nova groove…
- “In Formaldehyde” by Porcupine Tree (from Recordings) Interesting… this is a really nice (7/10) track that I tend to overlook, because it’s in the middle of an album of stunning tracks, all 9/10 or 10/10.
- “Flatlands” by Delerium (from Semantic Spaces) I was discussing Delerium with Hannah just now… I like Semantic Spaces, but it’s a bit too Enigma-like to really stand out…. She recommends Chimera to see what Rhys Fulber and Bill Leeb are really doing with this project.
- “Fly Like An Eagle” by the Steve Miller Band (from King Biscuit Flower Hour Presents…) I prefer Steve Miller’s earlier work – from Children Of The Future to Number 5, but this is a good live version of his biggest hit.
- “All The Roadrunning” by Mark Knopfler & Emmylou Harris (from All The Roadrunning)
- “Step” by Patrick O’Hearn (from THe Private Music Of Patrick O’Hearn)
- “The Weeping Song” by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds (from The Best Of Nick Cave) I bought this album years ago, but I still feel that I haven’t got into it yet. I’m not sure what I need to do to make contact, but several friends assure me that it’s worth the effort.
