Tracks: 1: Northern Sky

A new single 30 years later
I mean, there's no other way I'd shell out the $7 I did for a single by anyone else. Chances are, if you're buying this one, you're a pretty well-established Nick Drake fan.

This single contains (in a very neat package) a re-orchestrated version of (I was made to love) Magic, and the album version of Northern Sky (from Bryter Layter). Northern Sky is an awesome song, as anyone will tell you. . . One of Nick's best in my opinion.

You may or may not have heard Magic before, which was released posthumously as "I Was Made to Love Magic" on the Time of No Reply album (part of the Fruit Tree box set, if you're lucky enough to have one). The orchestration is beautiful and poignant - this version of "Magic" is a rich arrangement that Nick would have loved. It stays true to his style and is the perfect augmentation to his already mystical voice.
