Recommended: 4, 7, 10, 11, 13
1. Soul Desert * (3:53) - minor drone, subtle driving percussion, poetic lyrics, wailing vocals
2. She Brings the Rain (4:08) - jazzy guitar, Sinatra vocals, strings
3. Spoon ** (3:06) - Latin beat w/ claves, theatrical synths, classic Can vocals
4. Shikako Maru Ten *** (3:18) - 7/4 groove, intricate guitars and bass, hypnotic
5. Turtles Have Short Legs * (3:25) - The Beatles w/ German accents, piano, weird novelty song
6. Halleluwah (3:38) - solid beat, lots of drums
7. Vitamin C *** (3:33) - Krautrock classic, neat bass line, strange lyrics and melody, flute/synth interlude
8. I'm So Green * (3:06) - Blues influence, guitar/bass/organ, seventh chords
9. Mushroom (4:01) - industrial, minor, intense vocals, dissonant, repetitive
10. Moonshake ** (3:03) - uptempo, light melodic guitar rock, goofy percussion interlude
11. Future Days ** (3:24) - subtle beat, lovely muted vocals, smooth guitar solo
12. Dizzy Dizzy (3:31) - bass and strings, light drum beat, stuttery vocals
13. Splash ** (4:05) - jazzy beat, piano vamp, complex time signatures
14. Hunter and Collectors (3:24) - kinda creepy
15. Vernal Equinox ** (3:11) - super fast, chromatic, epic guitar solo
16. I Want More (3:32) - funky, dance-y, chantlike vocals, influenced LCD Soundsystem?
17. ...And More (3:20) - continuation of previous song
18. Silent Night * (3:13) - literally the hymn with guitar, drums & bass, Mannheim Steamroller
19. Cascade Waltz (3:38) - quirky waltz with guitars and strings, heartfelt singing
20. Don't Say No (3:20) - Southern bluesy guitar, funky, hedonistic lyrics
21. Return (3:06) - space disco, bass vamp, spasmic drums
22. Can Can (3:11) - double entendre? literally the original orchestral can can, comical, same vein as Silent Night
23. Hoolah Hoolah (3:29) - super goofy, Talking Heads plus more, Polka beat, tight harmonies
