One for the road

We've all been there. On an autobahn four o'clock in the morning in the rain, trying to survive amongst the ten ton trucks and the BMWs doing 200 km/h. In that situation, as always, the key to success is a good soundtrack. Here is mine:

World in My Eyes / Depeche Mode

A perfect starter. Sounds amazing if you have a six point speaker system.

Airbag / Radiohead

Makes you feel like you're flying an airplane.

Cocaine Blues / Johnny Cash

If the kids are awake skip this one. The lyrics are explicit, to put it mildly.

Oxygene / Jean-Michel Jarre

Try to get the twenty-minute version.

I Believe / K's Choice

This helps when you're about to loose faith, 500 kilometres from home.
