Best track ever part 26 was to honor my father. This one’s for my dear mother.
Loooooong before Peter Jackson’s blockbuster, there was only the book. Ànd there was an LP with music to that book. My mom always played that album, which hypnotized me every time I heard it. I remember my mom telling me about the story and Tolkien in a way an 11 year old boy could understand.
Sweet memories those are.
To honor my beloved father, who let me listen to this when I was still a kid, I’ll make this sublime piece of jazz by John Coltrane my new best track ever.
I’m still ‘borrowing’ his original vinyl copy and I know he knows that I do not take care of stuff that well… so if you read this dad: don’t worry, I treat this one with all the love I have.
Our new best track ever, an Italo bomb from 1983: Stop, by B.W.H.
Hell Yeah! Really cannot skip this track for my best track ever list.
Al-Naafiysh by Hashim. I bought the maxi single as a kid, being 12 years of age, back in 1985. Still timeless and one of the best in my collection.
By the greatest hero of all times, mr. David Bowie. Some friends of ours had this track as their openings dance tune on their wedding. Goosebumps. Absolutely our new best track evahhh.
I summon up the power of Banana Clan!
Hell yeah! At least Roots Manuva gets the deal… Best track ever.
One of the first acid house tracks that filled the floors of The Hacienda in the late 80’s: Voodoo Ray by A Guy Called Gerald.
Not only to honour Mark Linkous, who took his own life some days ago, may he rest in peace, but also because Piano Fire by Sparklehorse ís the best track ever.
I stopped using Roman digits, because I don’t remember how to put a 19. Anyway, of course Windowlicker had to be one of our best tracks ever. Not only because it has that fantastic video clip by Cunningham but it also contains by far the best orgasmic musical climax ever made (on 8:18 minutes). Seriously, it gives me goose skin and an overdose of endorphine at the same time.
Silver Apples with Lovefingers is our new best track ever. From 1968, do you all understand.
The Stranglers decided to dedicate a walz time ballad to the thing they loved most: heroin. This song surely is a trip. Our next best track ever.
(Thanks Justin for reminding me!)
I have this thing with true popperdy pop bands from the 80ies going on. There’s growing a steady love for that kind of music where I normally had not much interest. Growing old? Nowadays music is getting crappier? I don’t know, probably both. Result: Talk Talk - Life’s what you make it as my new best track ever.
Amazon, to me the ultimate techno track, produced by the almighty Underground Resistance from Detroit. I remember collecting mixtapes on highschool called Powerhouse some 17 years ago, on which I first heard this song. If I’m correct it was on number 14…
It’s Bakerman by the fabulous Danish group Laid Back. Funny thing is that this video was shot in one take by the, back then, still unknown director Lars von Trier.
Ooohhhh yeah! With Incubate coming up and Tyree Cooper djing there its hipperdyhiphouse and other early Chicago sounds through the speakers these days.
This strange song made by this weird Italian fella, Adriano Celentano makes our new best track ever. The psuedo English/Italian language is a bit corny, but combined with those beats and trumpets makes it greasy. And those female dancers in that clip are damn spicy.
Uhhh… Duwdudududududuw. This gets you going on a typical monday like this. The 1997 remix of Stooges Raw Power is our new best track ever.
By Mr. Fingers aka Larry Heard. This 1987 Chicago House masterpiece was one of the tracks that took house music to another level. Our new best track ever.
By Orbital with the voice of David Gray. We do not like David Gray to say the least, but this combination with Orbital makes it The best track ever!
