Best track ever

Best track ever XI: Jukebox Babe

Best track ever, part X: Raw Power
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.
-
Best track ever, part IX: Can you feel it
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.
-
Best track ever, Part VIII: Illuminate
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!
-
Best track ever, Part VII: Hey, Bo Diddley!

Best track ever! Part VI: Fools Gold
1989. An important year for Archie and his friends. It was the year this song was released by The Stone Roses. We tell you dear friends, this song blasted a shockwave through our bodies. It was time to say partly goodbye to our old hip hop style. It was time to open the door for the Madchester tunes and style from the Happy Mondays, The Charlatans and these chaps. Great, great song, in other words: our new best track ever… (Check the old ones here)

Best track ever! Part V: Race for the prize
Forget all about the old ‘Best tracks ever‘ We got a new one ladies and gentlemen. Its… Race for the Prize, by… The Flaming Lips.
-
Best track ever! Part IV: The Undertones-Teen age Kicks
I’m gonna call her on the telephone
Have her over cos i’m all alone
I need exitement oh i need it bad
And its the best, i’ve ever hadJust like famous BBC I dj John Peel (they played this song at his funeral) this is our ultimate favourite track. Frontman Feargal Sharkey tried do do it solo in the late 80’s again (A good heart thes days is hard to find tralalalala) but never came close again to this one above.

Best track ever! Part III: Simple Minds - I Travel
We owe an apology. We owe an apology to Jim Kerr and his Simple Minds. That’s because we hated them. We spat on them and called all Simple Minds fans stupid. Back in the days when we only had ears for The Cookie Crew and Fast Eddie. But now when we start realizing what great music they produced, I travel earns the title of Archibald Kobayashi’s ‘Best Track ever! Part III’!
-
Best track ever! Part II
Forget our previous post about Zappa’s Peaches and Regalia being the best track ever. This here piece Terra Aria from Italian cellist Giovanni Sollima is our new best track ever… Seeing this man perform on Dutch TV show Vrije Geluiden last sunday morning made us gaze at the screen for 6 minutes like that one emoticon with his eyes open wide…

Best track ever! Part I
This is definately our best track ever: Peaches en Regalia from Frank Zappa. After disbanding the Mothers of Invention, Zappa made this famous enduring composition. The track reappeared a couple of times on later recordings.
