Epic nights. We've all had them. What's your top 5 songs which put a perfect end to an amazing night out?

(not in order, for me)

1. M83 - Highway of Endless Dreams (to be fair, there are at least three other M83 tracks that are on par)
2. Freeland - Mancry
3. Underworld - Born Slippy
4. Orbital - Halcyon + On + On
5. Soulwax - The Truth Is So Boring

Admittedly, this topic is similar to a previous one, and will inevitably spawn another conversation about the definition of "epic," but it's the end of the night and I've got at least three of these going on in my head right now.

Keep chillin'. :ugeek:

Oh, so in other words, Come Down music.

I was actually thinking about this last night on my evening walk - I had shuffle mode on and that track Highschool Lover by Air came into play which got me to remembering.

Watching those nights turn into days are more or less a thing of my past. But I used to listen to Air's Virgin Suicides soundtrack after a night out. Whether or not it's epic is debatable, but I sure enjoyed it for those moments. There's a warm, womb-like quality to the music that eases you down so gently. It would be playing softly on my stereo, and I'd step onto my patio having my tea and a cigarette, watching the stars fading in the sky while the world still slept. Those are some good memories for me.

I also like anything on A Strangely Isolated place by Ulrich Schnauss. The Chems remix of I Think I'm In Love is also good.

Not come-down music! Songs that highlight the moment of an endless good time... Jeez.

And you still have these tracks for your life right now. :-p

OK OK, you should have been specific, haha!!

When I see "epic" and "end of night songs" in the same sentence I think come-down, chilling out after a rough night of dancing, watching the sun come up and knowing I'm going to be feeling a bit crispy around the edges for the next 24 hours.

Songs that highlight the moment of an endless good time...?

Don't know. There's a shitload given all the endless good times I've had over the years...

That's my hangover cure. It's amazing but isn't an epic, end of set, track.

I don't DJ, but I think

Fatboy Slim - Song For Shelter

Shinichi Osawa - Star Guitar (Japanese Popstars Remix)

The Chemical Brothers - Electronic Battle Weapon 10 (really any EBW will do)

Underworld - Rez

Fluke - Atom Bomb (Atomix 4)

would all make excellent grand finale tracks.

Hmmm... lets see:
M83 - "Couleurs" (but yes, there are many M83 songs that could be used)

SMD - "System"

Underworld - "Big Mouth" or "Moaner"

Deadmau5 - "16th Hour" or "Strobe"

Undisputed Truth - "Ball of Confusion (That's What the World is Today)" (maybe)

Again... I like topics like this...

A few great suggestions already too, anything by Ulrich Schnauss is great particularly 'Love Movement', I have come home after many a mad night to this : (Nice one Whirly on the Ulrich suggestion)...this is my fave of his:

As for a top 5 (that didn't count by the way..) here are mine:

1) The Verve - Weeping Willow (Off one of the greatest albums of all time)
http://www.youtube.c...feature=related

2) Oceansize - Music for a Nurse (hidden gem in my eyes. Great reverb and spacey..beautiful music)

3) 2020 Soundsystem - Closure (LOVE THIS, so much power and energy, perfect to start or finish...or to peak..hell its perfect!) http://www.youtube.c...h?v=nNAoKGNRWi0

4) Doves - Firesuite - (Easily one of my fave bands of all time and still one of the most underrated on the planet..FACT!!) http://www.youtube.c...feature=related

5)Plump DJ's - Scram - (Just pure breaks!Awesome!)
http://www.youtube.c...feature=related

and for my 6th... or is that 7!? sorry but theres just to many I'm afraid and I'm not going to sleep thinking of the ones I forgot!! This is off the top of my head though...

The ultimate... Sunshine Underground - The Chemical Brothers!!!!

THe end.

V

My life is a boat, being blown by you. With nothing ahead, just the deepest blue... To me you're like a setting sun. You rise then you're gone.

In terms of killer last song of the night track

Alex Dolby - Hazy Ways (Evil Nine Remix)
Evil Nine closed it out with this in 05 when I saw them. Only about 50 people left at that point but it was massive.

Gogol Bordello - Baro Foro
Proof at Fuji rock 08
Every time (3) I've seen them they end it on this and it erupts

Orbital - Dr. Who / Chime
Still want to see this live one day.

Shinichi Osawa - Our Song

Primal Scream - Come Together
Not the weatherhall version that everyone seems to be in love with. I like this one with the horns at the end. There is a longer version of it but I couldn't find it.

In terms of chill out type songs....
LCD Soundsystem - Someone Great (Insturmental 45:33)

Little Dragon - Twice

Jay Electronica - Eternal Sunshine

Cinematic Orchestra - All Things To All Men

Goldfrapp - White Soft Rope

Resident Fuji Rocker
The Private Psychedellic Reel-to-Reel

@Vman: Ah! Were you the one that recommended that 2020Soundsytem track? It's freaking sweet!!!

So much more music to check out now--loved reading what you all have experienced in that same end-of-the-night moment through music!!!
