So beautiful arranged it must have been a beacon for beauty in a world of noodling hippies when it was released.

An all time classic.

Scott's current meat slapping efforts have merit but Scott 4 is great art that doesn't look like it trying to be art.

I tip my imaginary hat to you. ;)

I will celebrate departure of my death fever with

Ramses Shaffy & Liesbeth List - Pastorale

And for good measure: Boudewijn de Groot - Meisje van zestien

Peaches version of Search & Destroy is pretty frequently playing in the house of Cavallies at the moment.

So is also Lean on Me by Terry Callier:

1972 original recording (spotify link)
re-recorded With Beth Orton - not as good as the original, but only Youtube link I found of it.

Absolutely beautiful. :-*

Ah, this may have been the first or second band I ever saw live. I used to love this song:

The Legendary Pink Dots - The Hill

Nice to have you back in the land of the living Zai. :)

Jerker, nice to hear some Terry Callier love, I think 900 Miles has one of the most soulful intros ever.
