I'm trying to make a 'Best Of Chems' CD for my 50 year old uncle, in an effort to convert him. Sparing you the details of the tracklisting, I'm down to the final 4 minutes, and I'm torn between 4 tracks to fill this space. I want to keep it mellow-ish to try to show the Chems range in the best light (the rest of the CD is pretty upbeat). Anyway, the 4 tracks are:
1) One Too Many Mornings
2) Otter Rock
3) Power Move
4) Chico's Groove (Mix 2) - the album mix is too long.
My gut feeling is to go with Power Move, as it's my fave of the 4. Initially I had One Too Many Mornings, but I'm not so sure now as I'm not sure it's a brilliant selling point - it doesn't seem to have enough variation to convert "non-believers". Up till now, I think the only electronic music my uncle is familiar with is pop-trance stuff (he's been a pub DJ recently, to put it in perspective), but in his earlier days was a rocker through and through - Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, all that kinda stuff.
Yeah, so if you guys could chuck your opinions in and make my decision easier, I'd appreciate it :D

X-D good luck converting a 50 year old.....anyways, since your down to the final four mins., have you considered "pioneer skies" (4:04) it would make a nice finisher to your compilation ;-)
but if i had to choose between those 4 that you selected for a closing song to an "up beat" compilation album...........i would have to agree with what you like best "Power Move"

Old man hairstyles are a flop.

Otter Rock.
It's short and sweet, it's simple yet it's got a lot of reverance and atmosphere, the acoustidc guitar loop with the phase is cool, and it's special because it was pulled out of the way-back vault especially for the bonus Singles disc. It's a feel good track without being overly epic or in your face (not that there's anything wrong with that). If I were trying to convert my uncle, I'd go with Otter rock because, simply, it's a good one. Reminds me of just chilling out somewhere on a sunny day watching the world go by...

I forgot Giant & Spring, how long are they, do you know?
I hadn't really considered Pioneer Skies not sure it's entirely what I'm after but I'll test it out.
Btw, it won't be the closing song (that spot is alway reserved for TPPR 8) ), it's gonna come in the last third though.

Well, it might be easier to lend suggestions if we knew which two tracks it would be sandwiched by? Which track does it follow on from? And which track does it precede?
I can't recall how Power Move goes, off the top of my head, but I have a particular appreciation for One Too Many Mornings and Chico's Groove. At a pinch, I'd plump for Chico's cos it's great!

i think it depends on what mood you want to have inthere, so i would decide myself for One too many mornings maybe as the last one. Power Move should be at the beginning or in the middle . . .

nude night is the greatest chems song ever
really? You sure about that one? :? I think it's brilliant but to put it as their best song confuses me. It's a simple song, where as their album tracks are complex and full of beauty.
