I love Tim Buckley! People who don't own the Tim Buckley Anthology should be thrown in jail![img]smileys/smiley2.gif[/img]Goodbye And Hello is one of my favourite albums, with breathtaking songs like Once I Was, Phantasmagoria In Two and I Never Asked To Be Your Mountain... fantastic stuff![img]smileys/smiley4.gif[/img]And let's not forget about Song To The Siren... possibly the most haunting song ever!!![img]smileys/smiley3.gif[/img]

Reading it at the moment. I find it a bit annoying the way that he changes from Jeff to Tim in alternate chapters.

I love Tim Buckley as well. The anthology is great, although I think that the song selectionis a bit dodgy. Where is "I never asked to be your mountain", for instance? Dream Letter, live in London, is a real masterpiece. Just canītbelieve he was merely 21 at the time.

The first 3 albums aren't hard to listen to. But an album like Starsailor could well be the most inaccessible album ever made![img]smileys/smiley3.gif[/img]

I find some of Tim's music almost more moving than Jeff's, though in a different way.
Wayfaring Stranger and Song To The Siren....[img]smileys/smiley11.gif[/img] [img]smileys/smiley19.gif[/img] I also felt that getting into Tim's music took me a bit more time. But it's been very rewarding. |

it's not about time though, i've tried hard to listen to his music for months, but it just happens that after a while i have to turn him off (probably after about an hour of listening) which i don't need to do with jeff's. i still like his music though.

Of course I like Tim Buckley!! I agree with Rudy that his album Dream letter is a masterpiece. But also his first album en Hello and Goodbye are also special albums.
