there are only 2/3 songs on K&Q i don't like.

[AlienBiohazard]

Actually I would keep Q&K the way it is and I'll keep the EP's as they are too.

Because I believe the album is chosen in a logical way and the songs fit together.
I don't think you should put any other songs between them.
But hey, I might be wrong
It's okay

368
Sticks 'n' Stones
The Man's Machine
Chaka Demus
Jenny Can Rely On Me
Believing In Things That Can't Be Done
St Christopher
When They Are Gone (For Tim)
Earth, Wind & Fire
British Intelligence
The Curious Sound
Florence + The Machine Rabbit Heart (Raise It Up) Lionheart Remix (IS THIS ALLOWED?)

Not put them in any particular order but they are the 12 i've got most enjoyment from I think.

[Lips]

Florence + The Machine Rabbit Heart (Raise It Up) Lionheart Remix (IS THIS ALLOWED?)

yes, i was thinking of adding it in the list but wasn't sure

but it's not that great..would you really want that on an album?

[patty]

368
Sticks 'n' Stones
The Man's Machine
Earth, Wind & Fire
British Intelligence
Jilly Armeen
Fire Fire
The Curious Sound
St Christopher
On the Green
The Dance of the Young Professionals
When They Are Gone (For Tim)

i wouldnt put them in this order, cause i just copied the list and deleted what i didnt want
but yeah that would be a quality album, lots of variation, his EPs tend to show off his stuff thats not really like indie-by-numbers, his acoustic stuff and more punky things

[blitze]

3.Fire Fire
4.The Man's Machine
5.Sticks 'n' Stones
6.Emily's Heart
7.Chaka Demus

One's that just missed out
Believing In Things That Can't Be Done
Spider's Web
When They Are Gone
Atlantic City
Jilly Armeen

[Gusbus]

tracks from the Sticks N Stones EP seem to be getting a solid inclusion throughout everybody's lists

[patty]

yeah, sticks n stones was definitely the best ep, chaka demus was probably the weakest, i dont particularly like that song, or any of the others on it bar when they are (for tim) which is quality
the mans machine ep was alright, but im not sure he had enough good material to release 3 really good EPs, he could of done 2 definitely

[BlakeEverhart]

1. FIRE FUCKING FIRE
2. When they are gone (for tim)
3. Man's Machine
4. Murder on the Green
5. Direction Home
6. Forget Me Not
7. Earth Wind and Fire
8. Emily's Heart
9. Curious Sound
10. Spider's Web
11. 368
12. Believing in Things that Can't be Done

[Chardelli2]

but it's not that great..would you really want that on an album? Confused

Yeah I love that song by Florence and I thought the remix was even better than the original. As i said i picked the 12 songs i liked most they probably wouldnt really compliment each other as an album though.

i prefer The Man's Machine EP, i think Chaka Demus is easily the worst

[Chardelli2]

Agreed Man's Machine EP for me.
