Post any one of your eight Desert Island Discs. Only one per post for arrowing purposes. Eight posts not just allowed, but encouraged.

I haven't decided on my full eight yet, but this is definitely one of them.

#3 whilst on the subject of Frankie Knuckles; couldn't decide between this and Your Love.

As I've had a shite week and feeling very melancholic it's this tune

#4 quickfire return for me.

this song just never gets old for me; also off one of the best albums in my collection. Shara Nelson's haunting vocal over the brilliant production!

My No. 6. Gets me every time.


Drake is mentioned in Françoise Hardy's autobiography which was translated into English this year:

'Since his first record, I had liked the gifted young English singer and songwriter Nick Drake, to whom the media inexplicably gave the cold shoulder. For this reason, when I was in his country I spoke to every journalist I met with all the enthusiasm his work inspired in me, in hopes of getting him more attention. He heard of what I was doing and surprised me by coming to the London studio where I was recording... He would sit in a corner of the studio and stay there for hours, without saying a word, as if it was enough for him to know I liked his songs. Nick’s excessive introversion bordered on autism.'

Stunning.


Bliss isn't it Hopps. Crowes cover comes pretty damn close though.

My No.7.
The first sixty seconds (played with real bass and real sound quality) is possibly the finest sixty seconds of music I have heard.

The funny thing with all the Nick Drake adulation, mine included. Is that if he was starting out today, we'd all ignore him all over again.

Cruises sound like hell on earth (water) to me, but that one might be tolerable.

No.8.
Tough call, and Hendrix, Floyd and Marvin all miss out, but I've loved this since I was 15 and besides I had to have something from the Stax label.
