The BEST TRACK EVER

OK no excuses people. Post your favourite electronic track
ever. Youtube link preferably so that we can have a quick
listen before tracking it down if needbe.

Mine

Reason: Incredibly ahead of its time. Immaculately produced
and one of the most beautiful melodies i've ever heard.

Your turn.

because it's absolutely perfect. please don't listen to the
whole thing on youtube because everytime someone does, a
kitten dies.

Can't decide which one's my all-time favourite, but I'm
feeling ambitious, so here's your tracks in stereo:

Change - The End

Ultravox - Mr X 1980

Carl Craig - The Climax (Basic Reshape) (2001)

If you (anyone) add the magical

&fmt=18

on the URL of the video, you could get it in stereo. It
depends on when it's been uploaded on the site, but
basically everything uploaded in 2007-2008 works just fine.

This or this

They both have such beautiful melodies and are so simple-
Nan doesn't even have percussion. They are both minimalistic
too, evoking so much with such little resources. IMO the
most beautiful melodies ever written. They speak to me on an
indescribably personal level, too.

there is always that space there
just before they get to us
that space
that fine relaxer
the breather
while say
flopping on a bed
thinking of nothing
or say
pouring a glass of water from the
spigot
while entranced by
nothing

that
gentle pure
space

it's worth

centuries of
existence

say

just to scratch your neck
while looking out the window at
a bare branch

that space
there
before they get to us
ensures
that
when they do
they won’t
get it all

ever.

After careful consideration.

Mine

Reason:

It was a difficult choice as there are so many amazing
tracks to choose from. Maybe this is quite an obvious choice
but I am a bass head and the bass line is so fucking heavy
I've not found anything that compares. 18 years on and still
wipes the floor with club tracks today.

ok here are my serious ones. i don't know if i have a fav
but they are the best i can think of right now.

shore lined poison great contrast of harsh beats and
melody/chord prog. the bass line after 2 or so min. with
the chords is really nice. this youtube v. has some stupid
edits toward the end that aren't in the original btw.

rae simple and to the point in a way. great
melody, great beat, and again nice contrast.

4 the opening track to rdj album. there was a
time when i would hear this track, or the hearing
continued as follows
from orblivion and be ready to
just sit in the living room and take in an album. i don't
do that anymore.

Is it me, or is there even more bass on that youtube link
that usual?

In fact, which is THE best release/master for LFO? Maybe
some compilation or is the original 12" still the best?

i used to dislike it's off-putting rhythm and synthetic
instrumentation and i can't remember when i realised it was
actually proper good. this and mookid have an extraoridnary
mood, it's strange like it's warm and wet.
