Very nice selection! I love Roy Harper, Same Old Rock is my favourite by him.

Yeah, I even think I discovered Harper through this forum, years ago.

I've never really listened to music like this, but I'm really digging Sibylle Baier. Thanks for sharing these.

hey thanks for the list.. was only really familiar with roy harper and only then due to this mortal coil's cover of another day, as well as their cover of tim buckley song to the siren. Roy has some really good stuff. didn't know he worked with kate bush too!

sometimes after as huge dose of electronic music I like to listen to this stuff and steely dan etc or some rock because it takes me ear into other sounds that I appreciate. And it reminds me of childhood too.

Thumbs up on the list. Love Cohen's The Partisan, one of my favorites as well, hadn't heard it in quite some time.

Another great Mortal Coil cover is this Gene Clark tune-
