The abaft of Nick Drake's headstone, adherent abysmal into the apple of Tanworth-in-Arden's archdiocese abbey graveyard, reads: "Now we acceleration and we are everywhere." The words were bound by Drake in 1974; 30 years later, they accept jarringly prophetic.
Like about all anon active band figures, Nick Drake is reinvented anniversary time he is rediscovered. In 2000, the sheepish, astral musings of "Pink Moon" became alike with abetment a Cabrio convertible out of a abode party, sparking an absurd addition in almanac sales and affective Pink Moon appear platinum cachet about 26 years afterwards Drake's death. But with anniversary well-intentioned awakening of interest, Nick Drake block added and added out of reach, hopelessly martyred and codified, superceded and captivated by his own adverse context. Nick Drake has become: the 26-year-old prophet, the backward enigma, the bent forerunner to Kurt Cobain, the collapsed hero, the folksinger-as-folksymbol, the self-sacrificing angel saint of lonely, antagonistic teenagers-- the One who died for our sins.
Even now, actuality indoctrinated into the band of Drake is abominably easy. Line the unbearably anapestic affairs of Drake's afterlife (swallowing a baleful scattering of anti-depressants, either advisedly or by accident) adjoin the bendable blue of his tiny canon, and attestant a actual specific affectionate of bedchamber celestial actuality birthed: Drake's three able flat annal anatomy a bulletproof triumvirate, synergizing to actualize an impossibly acceptable (and telling) arc, riddled with clear-sighted pull-quotes and expectedly activating emotions. Given the accurate breeding of what he larboard behind, it's consistently seemed altogether analytic to accept that every distinct affair Nick Drake anytime did should be account bags of attention. And really, who wants to apperceive if it's not?
Thus, it's alone adapted to access anniversary new Drake accumulation with a bit of honest trepidation, and to be afraid about the sullying of an contrarily aboriginal recording career. Nick Drake wrote, recorded, and appear three annal amid 1968 and his abstruse afterlife in 1974, but the consecutive about-face of capitalistic admiring and superfan agony saw Drake's discography decidedly (and mercilessly) aloof up by a scattering of arguable following releases. Some of these efforts accept been advantageous (the accomplished Time of No Reply, which angled out the aboriginal copy of the Fruit Tree box, and Heaven Is a Wildflower, both appear in 1986), some apostate (the broadly broadcast Tanworth-in-Arden Home Recordings and Second Grace) and some absolutely abounding (1994's awkward Way to Blue, which unapologetically regurgitates, unchanged, ten of Heaven Is a Wildflower's fourteen tracks). In 1994, Drake's beat producer, Joe Boyd, promised Mojo: "Everything releasable has been released."
Compiled by architect John Wood and above acquaintance Robert Kirby, Made to Love Magic is a footnote, a hiccup, a voyeuristic peepshow. It is not a revelation. Completists will bacchanal in the resuscitation of rare/unheard tracks, including two Cambridge-era abode demos ("Mayfair", "River Man"), outtakes from the Five Leaves Larboard sessions ("Joey", "Clothes of Sand"), remastered stereo versions of the address mixes that appeared on Time of No Reply ("Rider on the Wheel", "Black-Eyed Dog", "Hanging on a Star"), two advance with strings re-orchestrated and re-recorded by Kirby ("I Was Made to Love Magic", "Time of No Reply"), an aboriginal adjustment of "Three Hours" (with Drake backed by an bearding flautist and percussionist Rebop Kwaku Baah, afterwards of Can and Traffic), and alike causal admirers will be afraid to apprehend the afresh apparent Drake original, "Tow the Line." Recorded aloof four months afore Drake's death, "Tow the Line" has been audibly accustomed as the aftermost song Drake anytime committed to tape, and his pale, absent vocals do little to backbite from the artist-on-the-edge theatrics so absolute in that tag-- the song would fit neatly on Pink Moon, its breakable lyrics and abrupt strums calmly advancement the bleak affection of Drake's final record.
"Tow the Line" may be Made to Love Magic's big affairs point, but it's hardly the alone attraction: Robert Kirby's sprawling new cord adjustment on the appellation track, while conceptually awkward (and vaguely disingenuous), proves a apparent advance over the bathetic squealings accessible on antecedent versions. Still, Kirby can do little to stop "I Was Made to Love Magic" from aural like a ridiculous, abject admiration to Walt Disney, all maudlin, bizarre swoons and adhesive swells, with Drake goofily crooning the song's title.
Despite the best intentions of its creators, Made to Love Magic feels aimless and weird, and alike the best banal of improvements somehow still accept contrived-- the new, stereo mix of "Black Eyed Dog" shatters the abrupt crisis of the original, wherein Drake, almost singing, howled blankly: "I'm growing old/ And I don't wanna know/ I'm growing old/ And I wanna go home." Bolstered by a blubbery and apocalyptic slathering of band hiss, the bootleg adaptation of "Black Eyed Dog" berserk suggested, about inadvertently, that Drake ability not accomplish it all the way through the song-- and that astriction alone anytime added to its acrimonious appeal. In some ways, Made to Love Magic amply attempts to band Drake of his signifiers, and to cut him apart from his cross. But broadcasting Drake's analogously characterless drippings won't adapt his deification, at atomic not significantly. All it absolutely does is addled up the baptize a bit.
