Looking to start an on-going list of tracks that everyone uses to showcase/enjoy their system to. I'm hoping for clarity, even frequency response, stereo imaging & bottom end presence. Songs that you put on when you want to impress yourself & enjoy the music. I'll start:
"Lucid Dreams" by Franz Ferdinand
Don't write this one off. I'm not a huge Franz Fan, but my eyes were opened to this one by a audiophile friend. Typical Franz until around the 4:00 mark, where things start building into a fantastic display of stereo imaging & bass response. It has become a real go-to track for me lately.
"Thin Air" by Pearl Jam
Off of one of their best--yet overlooked--albums, IMHO. Miking techniques on the guitars & drums are wonderful. Bass fills up a huge space. Alternative tracks off of Binaural: "Of the Girl" or "Rival"
"The Beast and Dragon, Adored" by Spoon
Clarity & sonic space. Perhaps one of the most impressive albums to showcase proper recording techniques since the Beatles. Full of subtle nuances.
