Best Track Ever, part 32: Wot

Best Track Ever, part 31: Black Monk Theme Part I
Really hard to choose one best track out of the repertoire of the Fall, but it’s gotta be this one from Extricate, to me their best album.
So siked that they’re playing at Incubate 2011!
(Thanks guys at Incubate and thanks E10 for reminding me this one)

Best Track Ever, part 30: The Escapades of Futura 2000
Legendary graffiti king Futura 2000 once recorded a track together with The Clash, called The Escapades of Futura 2000, with other hip hop graffiti legends Fab Five Freddy and Dondi White as back up vocals.
He really is rapping off beat and the lyrics were also not the best in the world, but this song had something special about it: it triggered punk, ska, reggae, funk, hiphop and disco producers and bands like The Beastie Boys, Gang Of Four, Rip Rig Panic, The Slits, Bush Tetras, Liquid Liquid PIL and even Talking Heads to cross over more. So I consider myself lucky to have this track on vinyl.

Best Track ever, part 29: Energy Flash
Almost up to 30 Best Track Evers! Best track ever number 29 is Joey Beltram with his timeless track Energy Flash, released in 1991.
A pure and pumpin’ beauty by the legendary techno hero from NYC who you will never catch laughing.

Best Track ever, part 28: Die You Fuck
I am so fixated by this track at the moment that I just have to call it my new best track ever. Not that I’m feeling like killing somebody, but it gives me that ‘healthy aggression’, one needs once in a while.
Die You Fuck by Brainbombs, Swedish punkrockers from the eighties, although it really sounds like it could be be made tomorrow.
Btw, the guy on the cover is Ed Gein, a not so friendly man, although huge inspiration for a lot of movie directors.

Best Track ever, part 27: The Black Riders
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.

Best track ever, part 26: Olé
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.

Best track ever, part 25: Stop
Our new best track ever, an Italo bomb from 1983: Stop, by B.W.H.
-
Best track ever, part 24: Al-Naafiysh
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.
-
Best track ever, part 23: Heroes
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.
-
Best track ever, part 22: Witness the Fitness
I summon up the power of Banana Clan!
Hell yeah! At least Roots Manuva gets the deal… Best track ever.
-
Best track ever, part 21: Voodoo Ray
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.
-
Best track ever, part 20: Piano Fire
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.
-
Best track ever, part 19: Windowlicker
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.
-
Best track ever, part XIIIV: Lovefingers
Silver Apples with Lovefingers is our new best track ever. From 1968, do you all understand.
-
Best track ever, part XIIV: Golden Brown
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!)
-
Best track ever, part XIV: Life’s what you make it
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.
-
Best track ever, part XV: Amazon
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…
-
Best track ever XVI: Bakerman
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.
-
Best track ever, part XIII: Total Confusion
Ooohhhh yeah! With Incubate coming up and Tyree Cooper djing there its hipperdyhiphouse and other early Chicago sounds through the speakers these days.
-
Best track ever, part XII: Prisencolinensinain-ciusol
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.
