Thoughts:

The Sunshine Underground: It just sends shivers up my spine, at that bit just before it peaks i get a funny feeling behind my ears.
Dare: After listening to this you will realise that inspirational synth rock truly did peak in 1984.
Gold Lion: Is this really a happy song or just an awesome one?
The Bleeding Heart Show: Probably one of the happiest songs i've ever heard, best example of how to build up a song that i can think of. By the end i feel like gathering a group of people together so we can dance in a circle with our hand held up high.
The Perfect Kiss: Awe-inspiring synths and some amusing lyrics. The original 8min version even has synth sheep AND frogs.
Pickles: I love violins.
Meo Blodnasir: I think perhaps my favourite song of theirs but it really has to be played after Hippipola, it works so well coming out of the silence at the end of that song.
