what is the best tortoise track/album to play for a neophyte?

It's All Around You title track

and from the same album, Crest....very chill but loud track, pretty straightforward from what i remember.

i played him a dual-drumming jam i found on youtube but he says he doesn't wanna go

 

hey if you don't like the fact that tortoise has two drummers don't take it out on me sweet cheeks

hey honey buns.

it's not my fault you posted a thread asking us for advice only to go rogue. you went rogue.

fuck yeah, crest is wickid biznizz. those first two notes give me the ol' goosebumps just thinking about them!

it's all around you is my joint second favourite tortoise along with standards

tnt comes in third for me, i don't seem to like it as much as most people do

the shit they did with bonnie prince billy/buck 65 (not at the same time) was fucking great, did i already say that?

the covers of springsteen's thunder road or elton john's daniel... tortoise can be worlds most backing band.

I'm really late to the party with these guys - just bought TNT and I'm absolutely loving it. Is it generally considered their best album or is the best yet to come?

next get millions now living will never die, the album before tnt

standards isn't too shabby either. this track is pure rock

djed is the best tortoise track to play for anyone ever

 

 

edit: crossed out tortoise

:)

that said, the first track of tnt (tnt) is runner up. seen them thrice, loved it each time.

Never really liked Millions Now Living, finally picked up TNT and its much better. Not sure what the fuss about Millions Now Living is

Dual drummers is one of the things I like most about Tortoise live. Well played IRARI, too bad your friend is a cunt
