"Oh, My Dear, It's Chemical Frustration." by Action Action. It's probably the best 20 seconds of the cd, hahah.

Nightswimming, by R.E.M. I love that little non sequiter orchestral movement at the very start, flowing disjointedly into the graceful piano. And setting the mood for the song perfectly. The whole song is incredible, the intro even more so.
