Enola/Alone would have been a great sigle.

I voted for The Girl Who Wanted To Be God... was torn between that and NSAF but reckons NSAF is best listened to as an album closer than in isolation.

Actually, I think I've misunderstood this.... I thought the question was "which one should have been a single?" but it's "what's the best non-single EMG track"... to which I'd answer NSAF.

The whole album is awesome.
The problem with picking 'no surface all feeling' is that, wonderful song though it is live, the album version is a bit slow and ploddy. It's played at a quicker tempo live.

Interiors and The that wanted bla bla bla are complete skippers for me.
Has to be NSAF or Removables for me, hey we're all different.

No Surface All Feeling. Team Sean. Enola would be my second pick though.

Removeables and interiors are poor

I've gone for Removeables cos I feel it gets unfairly maligned as being this 'unfinished article'.

This GOT to be No Surface All Feelings!
