Title: In your opinion, which track by The Chemical Brothers is the best produced?

Let's be honest, 99% of the time CB knock it out of the park with their intricate and lush production but which song really struck you as a stand out?
I'm actually going to go with "Goodbye". When I sat and actually paid attention to everything going on in that track - it blew my mind! Masterful skills.

Saturate comes to mind, but it's hard to pick one when most if not all songs cb did are beautifully produced. 
Last sound in Saturate is like an implosion, it literally sucks the sound out of the room. Never heard anything like that before or after.

Elektrobank

The intro, the drive, the metamorphosis, the segue/outro. All unique moments, textures and sounds throughout.

It accomplishes quite a bit in incomparable fashion.

The Sunshine Underground came on during a run this morning. There's so many beautiful production moments in that tune. And some crazy sounds that I still have fun trying to figure out the source and method of.

That said, Galaxy Bounce is just so freakin' clean, and crispy and funky, and shiny. I feel like the answer to the question is likely to involve a lot of personal bias. But I'm curious to hear thoughts from more experience audio wizards that can speak to the technical proficiency of some of their best tunes.

For me , it's Setting Sun , . . a full on sonic assault and wall of sound that i'd imagine could've sounded too jarring and harsh if not for the skillful production. There's so much going on , thunderous deep sub-bass with a thousand rolling drums providing the constant pulse , into a high-pitched off-set snare , wailing alarm sirens and firework rockets going overhead , a breakdown and segue back into the hurricane halfway through, and the vocal layer amongst all this chaos is somehow clear and audible , . . . outstanding.
