Escape Velocity would definitely be the best last track!

first track : it's a 50/50 between Music:Response and Snow. MR is one of the best songs ever made by the brothers but i give my vote to Snow because i get goosebumps on the part where the bass smashes in - everytime.

last track : Surface To Air - simply my altime fav. song from the brothers (beneath Star Guitar which is not a last track)

ebw : Hoops. Another killer tune and it should be played more at cb-concerts.

I chose Snow, The Reel and Hoops.

Maybe not the best for every human on the planet, but arguably my favorites out of the bunch in terms of openers, closers and Electronic Battle Weapons.

But at the same time, I have to side with Igorchete on Escape Velocity. Maybe that song can be the unofficial 'best' last track!

I chose BRB, The Reel, and Hoops.

BRB = first first-track I have ever heard, and those crazy noises at the beginning of the album version are great!

Its pretty much a tie with MR, CWU, and Snow though.

All of the opening tracks are great. It's hard to ignore Leave Home or Come With Us, but I went with Block Rockin' Beats. It ushered in a new era and is still a hit with fans and the public alike. I really, really love Snow and I think it is the best for it's respective album, but it holds less value when disconnected from Escape Velocity. I can't justify picking it over BRB.

Did I really pick Surface to Air over the Reel? Not sure why. I just did. Tomorrow I may change my mind, but PPR finishes off a strong album while Surface To Air is an epic closer to a mediocre outing. Also, Surface to Air is still epic despite coming out years after PPR and The Sunshine Underground; it had a higher bar to reach and achieved.

EBW6 for the win.
Gonna work it out...

'Galvanize' will always win out....I just think its an awesome banger....Such a song!!!!!!!!

And 'Surface To Air' is sooooooooooooooooooooooo magical...........I cannot emphasise just how much I love this track......Layer after layer of magical synths wreck havoc in my mind every time I hear this........

Best EBW for me is 'Acid Children'...........I love the sense of forboding when the vocal sample drawls...."You Are ALL MY CHILDREN NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!"........

come with us - the test - EBW1

CWU: unbelievable track (maybe a tie with M:R which is also incredible)
the test: THE TEST! epic. psychadelic at it's best (ashcrofts vocals makes the difference to all the other last tracks) STA maybe me first vote tomorrow ;)
EBW1: maybe their rawest piece of music (along with prescription beats). so much energy and perfect for the dancefloor.

'Sup? I love that one. It's so perky and full of funkitude. Sort of a lively jam session, if you will.

Secondly, my choices:

First Track - Come With Us
Because it's absolutely epic.

Last Track - The Test
Because it's absolutely epic in a different way and why did they ever stop playing it live?

EBW - #6, or the Hoops remix
Because the original got boring after the distorted synth lost prominence, and the EBW version is all about that synth.

It's impossible to vote for a best album finisher, so much competition.
The Pills, TPPR, The Test, Wonders of The Deep, Dream On, they are all epic album finishers that really sum up all the album in one epic package. I had to go for the TPPR because that tune, honestly, is way out of this world.

What about the most favourite underrated song.
Surrender, Lost in the K-Hole, Three little birdies down Beats, Close Your Eyes..... they are all beautiful songs i end up listening more than the more 'obvious' ones.

I'm reallly really sorry for the double-post.

M:R for best opening, to me. Mainly because Surrender is my favorite album of theirs.

Pills for best last track because it "calms" me the most compared to the other albums ending. I almost chose Dream On.

Freak of the Week for best EBW. I think it is both an underrated EBW and chem bros song, overall.

M:R TPPR EBW5

M:R because it brings back some amazing memories for me, and TPPR because they closed the show I saw in Sydney 2008 with it ... what can I say.
Further Remixed There's nothing else...
