You Could Feel the Sky is the track that does it for me every time.

I'm also sure that they used real instruments before, because I swear I heard a guitar on XYZ (a rarer song), and even before MHTRTC they've used guitars. I think people expect BOC to be the same their entire career. They have to eventually change at one point, and I must admit, it was a good and welcome change. Dayvan Cowboy is a BOC favourite, guitars or no guitars.
also, I have to say, You Could Feel The Sky and pretty much all of Geogaddi is pretty awesome. My favourites are Dawn Chorus and Diving Station.
