This playlist has been much harder to make than Big Music, and in fact I've stopped at 30, not 60 songs. Really I'm just talking about 'Pink Moon' by Nick Drake. Very little else matches it for intimacy, for suffocation in detail.
There's a lot of men and women with acoustic and intimate but very few make music that is truly tiny. I don't think I've got this quite right, and may return to it another time ....
