yep thats another good one. not too long, not really abstract in any way and one of the songs that could manage to bring somebody to listen to instrumental music too, pretty easily

It suits the purpose of a middle ground between straight forward songs and improvised noise, you're right. But sadly I don't like Rain On Tin at all, so it's not going on.

I've to burn cd with this tracks for myself by the way

hits of sunshine? a lot of people get impatient by long songs, especially one where the same riff is played for 11 mins.
also, i think hits are for squares is a pretty good compilation for a beginner, it has a lot of variety and includes a lot of classics, with some treats such as World Looks Red and Expressway.

maybe you're right, but i love this kind of light jamming. and lyrics with strong side of thurston singing. and structure of this song is good too.

I think "Reena" is one of their best post-90's songs. Probaby "Sympathy for the Strawberry" as well.

I'd never have called Sympathy as even remotely like a pop song. Still great though.

Expressway to your skull : you've got the "pop-rock" part, the noisy part, and the improv part in one song.

I didnt say "Sympathy" was a pop song. I was just adding how much I liked it.

If you're looking for quicker/breezier/lighter tracks for a compilation... I recommend (from off the top of my head)....

Burning Spear
World Looks Red
I Love Her All the Time
StarPower
Shadow of a Doubt
Kotton Krown
Into the Groovey
Teenage Riot
Dirty Boots
Disappearer
100%
Drunken Butterfly
Genetic
JC
Bull in the Heather
Sweet Shine
Little Trouble Girl
Hoarfrost
Sunday
Free City Rhymes
Empty Page
Unmade Bed
What a Waste
Incinerate
Jams Run Free

I don't know whether that will all fit on one disc or not. Doesn't seem likely that it would.

you need to whack on a few longer, more experimental songs, cos otherwise, your friend will be given a kinda false impression of what SY are like... Just spread them about the tracklist and put shorter poppier songs in between!

Why sugarcoat it for them? Give 'em what you think are SY's strongest tunes regardless of accessibility. One track from every album. Let the person given the album worry about whether they'll like it or not.
