1986 Summer Fire, it's put me on the verge of tears on various occasions.

Tears from the Compound Eye and Over The Horizon Radar are almost tied... I chose Tears from the Compound eye though because I've actually hit tears with it once :|

Come to think of it there is a TON that are left out! 1986 Summer Fire is a beautiful song...that is perhaps my favorite. But Blueberry is left out. Zoetrope. Smallest Weird Number, A:B::B:C, Under The Coke Sign. This thread doesn't work well as a poll :P

Corsair absolutely number one. But I also feel Olson deserves a mention.

Compound eye will bring me to tears, most of the time, even when I'm driving.

I voted for Over The Horizon Radar...

...and then realised that Kiteracer 2, Zoetrope, Constants are Changing and Davie Addison aren't on the list.

Still, it shows you the depth of their material. All of the tunes I have listed here have brought out an emotional response at one time or another. OTHR for example: I was listening to Geogaddi on my MP3 player whilst away camping in late September. It was early evening; an aircraft was passing overhead, leaving a contrail behind. OTHR came on, and it was just a beautiful moment (you get lots of these listening to BOC). The music seemed apposite to the moment.

Edit: shit, I forgot Northern Plastics...

Tough tough tough to decide. So many flavors of beatless beauty - Olson, Open The Light, Corsair, Over the Horizon Line are all perfect in their own way.

Just to make it interesting though I want to throw in the Paul Stretched version of Olson. I know its been altered from BOC's version, but WOW is that a powerful track - and a testament to the quality of the original.

I know these are not post-Twoism but I'm just going to throw them out there (voted for TFTCE, made me cry on numerous occasions):

audiotrack 01a and TRAILS http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3b5Ij030tgA
http://englishrussia.com/index.php/2009 ... ghthouses/

I'm going to go there and listen to Geogaddi until I transcend.
