Black Box Recorder b-side "Factory Radio." It's barely 2 minutes long, and I don't think I could ever listen to it less than twice in a row.

Boards of Canada, "Roygbiv"

Pretty much every Meters song, or at least every early Meters song.

Hurting: hence "One Thing", no?

Excellent point.

" I was using some of the breakdown parts. Every Jamaican record has a dub side to it. So I just tried to apply that. As the years went along I'm watchin people, waiting for this particular break in it, the rhythm section. One night, I was waiting for the record to play out. Maybe there are dancers waiting for this particular break. I could have a couple more records got the same break in it - I wonder, how it be if I put them all together and I told them: "I'm going to try something new tonight. I'm going to call it a merry-go-round."

Hurting (Hurting), Tuesday, 23 August 2005 04:27 (eighteen years ago) link

'Roygbiv' is the obvious great call!

Laurent Garnier 'Communications From The Lab'

Sociah T Azzahole (blueski), Tuesday, 23 August 2005 09:26 (eighteen years ago) link

I don't get why everyone loves Roygbiv so much, I think it's one of the weaker and more predictable songs on the albums. I even prefer Kaini Industries to it.

Arnault (arc73hk), Tuesday, 23 August 2005 10:23 (eighteen years ago) link

sickhead - because it reminds me of The Kids From Degrassi Street, and it's definitely BOC's 'happiest' track.

is this off the first or second album? i love the second.

piscesboy, Tuesday, 23 August 2005 13:55 (eighteen years ago) link

I've said this before: War's "Low Rider", with its insanely springy assembly-line rhythm, is perhaps my favourite groove of all time; and if they'd decided to fill an entire LP side with it, that'd be more than fine with me.

"by your side" by cocorosie

been listening to Talk Talk's 'The Colour of Spring' a lot recently. The closing track 'Time It's Time' could go on a lot longer in my opinion.

I mentioned this in the other thread, but IMO it's ridiculous that Minnie Riperton's "Les Fleur" has one of the best, most gloriously beautiful choruses in all of Western pop music, yet it's played only twice in the entire song before the it fades out!

I also remember being disappointed to learn that there's no extended version of Chaka Khan's "I'm Every Woman", which at 4 minutes is way too short for such a disco epic. There is a long house remix from the '80s, but that doesn't satisfy the same need, I'm surprised no one has made a proper old-school disco edit of it.

It was sampled on Dubtribe's 10m+ 'Do It Now' though (in turn inspiring The Juan Maclean's 'Happy House') - someone has probably put all three in a mix at some point.

"Strawberry skies" by Games is way too short. Needs at least one other rep of the"you can give me everything you got" part (or whatever it is she sings)

Current 93 - "Bind Your Tortoise Mouth"
Robert Pollard - "To The Path"
Robert Pollard - "Cats Love A Parade"

Both the Pollard songs end on a quieter note than I would have liked.

That entire Games EP for sure

Bowie - 'Chant of the Ever-Circling Skeletal Family'. Always drives me nuts how great a groove that is and how short a time it's actually sustained.

Rihanna -- "James Joint" but make it 4X
Future feat. Drake -- "Never Satisfied"
Would say Jeezy -- "Win Is a Win" but it does work good as an interlude

Weird minor trend of dope hip hop/R&B tracks being minute-long interludes for whatever reason, basically.
