Acclaimed book about pathways, discussed here: The Nature Reader

MacFarlane name checks Olof Arnalds, Brahms, the Busch Quartet, Eliza Carthy, Ivor Cutler, The Duke Spirit, Brian Eno, Johnny Flynn, PJ Harvey, The Kevin Flanagan Quartet, Laura Marling, Pixies, Schubert, Elliott Smith, The Smiths and Ralph Vaughan Williams. But what would be on your compilation?

Richard Skelton (who MacFarlane also name checks but for his books rather than his music).

(Had intended to post this on ILM, if it is straight-forward to move?)

And probably some Navigator.

Lots of Julian Cope would fit, thematically, but not sure if I could bring myself to include any.

The whole Sons of TC Lethbridge album was made for this, but especially Fixed Universal Scale? and Cape Wrath To Cape Farewell - the former, quite literally about stumbling into The Old Ways.

Didn't get far with this at all ... which is ironic.

Yes, I've posted a link on another thread - probably the Nature Reader one - but thanks.

It's a curious thing, isn't it? Took me a while to get used to his voice.

Have only heard the one track, so far, but Land Observations' Roman Roads fits thematically.
