And I recognize Pitchfork will collectively say, "None of them!" But seriously, I'm doing it at work right now and we probably won't make it through all of them. So...hit me.

TRACK TWO.

Ok, that one I heard. And yes, it's great.

track seven is also great due to the ferocity of the drum solo.

My answer is tainted, 'cause I have on my work computer a version of Zaireeka mixed by someone and linked here on ILM earlier this year(I think?). From that, I guess "A Machine In India" is the one that catches my attention, but I'll also third Track 2.

On a side note, it's great "I...don't...wanna...be...at...work" music (as opposed to "I DON'T WANNA BE AT WORK" music).

"The Train Runs Over the Camel But Is Derailed By the Gnat."

Fuck, even their SONG TITLES are insane.

"The Train Runs Over the Camel" because, yes it is a mess, but it's a glorious multi-part mess. It's also the one track that really couldn't be put on an album other than Zaireeka. It just fits the format perfectly..

We only made it through track 2, but the best was the 62 y/o former dep. undersecretary in the Clinton Admin. listening to it in our office as were were doing it. She didn't balk, but I think she was being generous...

"A Machine In India" is my favorite. Awesome, sprawling, liquid sounding ooze that might make you queezy. Plus its about the menstrual cycle, yet is titled "A Machine In India." Go figure.

I wonder if someone got an appropriate sound system set up and rented a good place to play it if anyone would pay to listen to this album? Of course some appropriate lighting and a keg or two might be brought in to sweeten the deal...
