  • Favorite Non-Album Tracks

    There are quite a few really good non-album tracks; here are a few of my favorites:

    "Sweetness and Light (The Orange Squash Mix)" - one of the best Lush songs remixed by My Bloody Valentine. It's a no-brainer. Unfortunately, it's also on the soundtrack to crap artist Gregg Araki's Splendor. Fortunately, that is actually a pretty decent soundtrack, well worth the $2 I paid for it.

    "Mannequin" - another Wire cover, this one on Whore - Various Artists Play Wire. Also on this album is the My Bloody Valentine cover of "Map Ref 41N 93W", which may well be the best song in the whole world.

    "I Have the Moon" - a B-side off the "500" single. I've read that it's a Magnetic Fields cover; I've never really had much time for the Magnetic Fields - Stephin Merritt is just so fucking precious - but this song is wonderful.

    Last Night (Promo)

    I treasure the entirety of my Last Night promo single like it were gold. Not a bad mix on the whole thing, the Spooky mix of Undertow being a standout in my opinion.

    Incidentally, I concur with St Zartan about MBV's Map Ref 41N 93W being the best song in the world, ever!! But, I digress ...

  • For me it's a toss up between Plums and Oranges from the Ladykillers Pt. 2 single or God's Gift from the Black Spring EP.

    Totally amazing

    Mine _was_ Starlust. Then they decided to put it on Split :(

    There was a good one on the Volume compilations, but I forgot the name.

    I think the Volume compilation song was Half and Half. It may have been on the last one of those things that came out, but I can't remember since I never owned that one myself.

    "Half and Half" was on Volume 16.

    For what it's worth, the version of "Starlust" on the For Love EP is, in my opinion, better than the version on Split. I admit that the version on Split fits in better with the overall sound and tone of the album, but yeah, as a standalone track, the EP version is just amazing and probably one of their all-time best.

    I'm not a musical smarty-pants by any stretch of the imagination, so it's still sort of interesting and novel for me to hear the same song produced / mixed by two different people.

  • I believe I shall have to find a copy of the For Love EP because Starlust is my favorite track off of Split.

    Sweetie off of the Single Girl 7" is amazing.

    I have always loved 'Love at First Sight'.

  • I like "Sweetie", "Outdoor Miner", and "Demystification".

    Is anyone willing to share MP3s of "Half and Half" and the MBV remix of "Sweetness and Light"?
