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

Yay mod title change!
I voted for "White Car" but, yeah, this album is nutsy good across the board.

"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:

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.
