Yes. There was a great piece on Nick Drake in Mojo in the February issue (or it may have been March issue - I remember reading it on the aeroplane to the West Indies, where we were studying the evolution of tree lizards whilst on a field trip - interesting eh!!) I agree that Nick Drake is more mournful (than bleak!!). The comparison I would make is that both have delightful tunes, interesting lyrics - which connect with the listener - and make you wish to have heard them on the beach at Guirdil bothy on the deserted Isle of Rum!! Sorry I cannot make it sound more poetic, but I am an ecologist!! Philip ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
