Title: Beck - Nick Drake covers
Post by: nihilist on 07 Jun 2006, 10:56

Anybody heard these?  Beck released three tracks, all covers of Nick Drake tracks.  I'm rather enjoying; the more I listen to Beck, the more I start to appreciate his stuff.

http://www.beck.com/ :)  They are streaming from there, though somehow some high quality MP3 versions also came to be.

Where on the site are they? They don't look like they're in the player thing at the top right hand corner,  or anywhere else for that matter.

I'm posting all three here for everyone's listening pleasure. It sounds like there's a photocopier or something reminiscent of that running in the background for "Pink Moon", but they are all of good sound quality.

Beck - Which Will (http://www.orbitfiles.com/download/id144712127)
Beck - Pink Moon (http://www.orbitfiles.com/download/id144724183)

I snagged all of these from Gorilla Vs. Bear (http://gorillavsbear.blogspot.com/) a while back. They're pretty faithful to the originals, and are interesting to hear.
