Nick Drake - Tow The Line

Recently there was a Christmas number one attempt by 'Cage Against The Machine' in protest to the awful Shit-Factor(y) tripe that's pumped out every year. It was a 'silent' track, with the emphasis not on the music, but the spaces between music. It reminded me of the Nick Drake track 'Tow The Line' which was for over a decade undiscovered from his final studio sessions. Then one day the producer was working on remastering some tracks for a new compilation and he kept the tape rolling and 'discovered' this track. It's thought to be the last song he recorded, and at the end you can hear him put his guitar down for the last time.
