I'll away and think about this

Ugh, couldn't you have included "Associates" in the title? This thread will be forever lost.

rionat - according to wikipedia, the last 5 tracks were added to the 2000 CD reissue

Not needed then or now

― Tom D (Tom D.), Thursday, 4 March 2010 13:24 (fourteen years ago) link

What about their version of "Kites" ?

― Mark G, Thursday, 4 March 2010 13:32 (fourteen years ago) link

"Tell Me Easter's On Friday" just beating "White Car in Germany" if I had to choose between them.

― Ned Raggett, Thursday, 4 March 2010 14:31 (fourteen years ago) link

Vice versa for me, I think

― Tom D (Tom D.), Thursday, 4 March 2010 14:35 (fourteen years ago) link

^ ditto on the vice-versing

wait, so which one did you vote for then? I'm so confused.

― noted schloar (dyao), Thursday, 4 March 2010 14:42 (fourteen years ago) link

kitchen person may be, at least sonically, the most venemous track I have ever heard in my life.

― noted schloar (dyao), Thursday, 4 March 2010 14:42 (fourteen years ago) link

Hard to ignore "Message Oblique Speech" too

― Tom D (Tom D.), Thursday, 4 March 2010 14:44 (fourteen years ago) link

"white car in germany", such a majestic opener + great fake-out ending

This album is GREAT.
Voted for Kitchen Person, but White Car, Message and Tell Me Easter are all classics.

― Marco Damiani, Thursday, 4 March 2010 16:52 (fourteen years ago) link

White Car, Message Oblique Speech and the Associate are the ones I always come back to, though I love the whole thing.

― dan selzer, Thursday, 4 March 2010 18:22 (fourteen years ago) link

Yay mod title change!

I voted for "White Car" but, yeah, this album is nutsy good across the board.

i wrote a bit about two of these songs on this old epic blog post:

"Message Oblique Speech" for me - pure magic! duking it out with "Skipping" as their best ever.

As long as we're all here let me publicize Steve Aungle's blog about working with Billy M. again -- doesn't cover this era but still an insight into a wonderful, frustrating person and artist:

three weeks pass...

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

I can't believe I didn't see this poll earlier.

I voted for White Car In Germany, the fake ending is one of my favourite moments in music.

The Associate is a really underrated song, so funky and really stands out as the big pop moment on this compilation.
