Bohlmann's Toccata - must be played on an pipe organ with at least 64' pipes to get the full gut wrenching, puke inducing earth quake effect!

af

ajm - I must agree.... Nothing quite like the massive pipes of a church organ. Unless it's the sheeps intestine attached pipes of a highland piper!!

Last night i had Madonna's "Vogue" going on the new system. I know i've mentioned it before, but that track has more going on in it that almost *any* other i can think of. Simply amazing effects.

The immaculate collection is recorded in 3D or something.

Another recent CD...Delerium: Poem. Some of the most powerful vocals and haunting melodies...every...

Holy Ghost

the girl with the sun in her head - orbital

jupiter - gustav holst

what would scooby do

Try some tracks off Amused to death / Roger Waters - lots of detail and some nice bass

Freak

From my (massive) vinyl collection from old stuff up to current promos, the best thing i have found for clarity in a recording is:
Talk Talk-i believe in you

One of the best recordings i have ever heard

Stick it on if you want to hear detail

A good all round test would be Madonna- (drowned world) substitute for love...
William orbt production, and he certainly knows how to get a fantastic sound

TelBoy

Now that's interesting - Talk Talk?

I was playing their Greatest Hits last night, and i have to say, after something like Madonna's Immaculate collection, or indeed Ray of Light, Talk Talk is spectacularly unadventurous. True, it's a Greatest Hits, which are never the best quality, but even so, it just sounded "ordinary" to me...

CheekyChimp

Slayer - Angel of Death!!!! or Prong - Snap your Fingers Snap Your Neck. If the hi-fi cant handle the bass then chuck it!

matt.bowey

Metallica - Unforgiven.

XT

Linkin Park - Faint

Guns n Roses - Sweet Child O'Mine

Massive Attack - Teardrop

Ale555

David Gray: The White Ladder album
AC/DC Paradise City
Tracy Chapman...

What is surprising: Take from Ecleftig(?) II Sides of a book (don´t know the name of the artist yet) track 19...
First you think what a sh*t is this? And then it the guitar comes...wonderful...and the basslines...just try it!

TelBoy

Guns 'n' Roses - "Sweet Child of Mine"....why???

In my experience and opinion, the worse the hi-fi, the better that track sounds...

ProperCharlie

so how does the chord gear sound, Tel? have you rattled you foundations yet?

maybe we could also have a thread on which records are unlistenable on a half decent stereo. i'll get the ball rolling with:

oasis - what's the story morning glory

must be one of the worst produced/recorded albums of the decade. which is a shame, as i quite like some of the tunes.

TelBoy

Fookin ace mate! Took about three days warming up before they settled down, but tiredness is all that's dragging me away from them at the end of each evening now. Makes you want to listen to every cd you own all over again, as you hear things you've never heard before every time - can't ask for more than that!

corradoboy

ProperCharlie - I'll second that on Oasis. Add to that the earlier U2 albums prior to Joshua Tree. Superb songs, truly awful production. They'd probably make a mint if they revisited them and tidied them up a bit and put them out as some special edition digitally remastered collectors blah blah ripoff.

kevin stanton

spice by EON, a quality techno track from 93.
