- 1. "Bottle of Smoke" by The Pogues: "The sound of being drunk!"
- 2. "Summertime Clothes" by Animal Collective: "One of the best pop albums of the year."
- 3. "Simple Things (Work It Out) [Serge Santiago Version]" by Shit Robot: "Been playing this out a lot; a great producer and a great mix."
- 4. "Animals (Luciano Remix)" by Minilogue: "Another great bit of techno; it doesn't make sense during daylight!"
- 5. "A Pox On You" by Silver Apples: "Simian, our previous band, was actually named after a machine (although spelt differently) used by these '60s analogue legends."
- 6. "Peaches en Regalia" by Frank Zappa: "Zappa can be a bit hit-and-miss, but this one's a definite hit."
- 7. "International Feel" by Todd Rundgren: "We've sampled his vocals on our new album; we're huge fans. A Wizard, A True Star is one of our favourite albums of all time, and this is one of the best openings to an album you can ever imagine."
- 8. "Needles In the Camel's Eye" by Brian Eno: "Eno is lauded for his production, but people often forget what a great songwriter he is too. Here's one of our favourites from Here Come the Warm Jets."
- 9. "U Can Dance" by DJ Hell & Bryan Ferry: "Featuring a brilliant vocal from Bryan Ferry. It's difficult to get a good, natural vocal over dance records, but this works so well."
- 10. "World Eater" by Black Meteoric Star: "This is a Delia & Gavin side project on DFA. It sounds like it was recorded to tape, really dirty and crunchy."
- 11. "Multi-Track Suggestion" by Vangelis: "He's well-known for his Blade Runner soundtrack; this is a lesser-known disco tune. Apparently he will now only answer to being called "the Maestro"."
- 12. "Black Sabbath" by Black Sabbath: "The opening track on the album that defined heavy rock. It still sounds as heavy today as it did then."
- 13. "Der Räuber und der Prinz" by D.A.F.: "Produced by Conny Plank, one of our favourite producers; it spawned the EBM sound. Fantastic analogue sequencing."
