Good songs/albums for bringing out speakers

[StateDJ85]

I just got a new receiver and I can finally take full advantage of my speakers. So far Clapton Chronicles I think brings out the speakers best out of all my CDs. Any other suggestions?

SRV- Tin Pan Alley from Couldn't Stand The Weather...one of the tunes that made me buy my speakers.

Bob James- Grand Piano Canyon
Buena by Morphine
Anything by Carl Filipak....Geetar teacher from Baltimore


Iff your looking to test Bass...try the soundtrack to Passenger 57 or any Stanley Clarke.

Anything by Husker Du, The Monkees or Artis the Spoonman.

Ah, that's ez. Sounds Good! volumes one and two. Rave Recs group comps that should be enshrined in the RR(rave recs) HOF.

I like:

Stabbing Westward, Darkest Days
The Nine, Native Anger (those two are both HDCD)
Einsturzende Neubauten (sic), Silence is Sexy
Nine Inch Nails, Broken
Friends of Dean Martinez, pretty much anything
pretty much anything produced by Steve Albini

But then again, a lot of that has to do with familiarity.

If you have a 5.1 system with DTS, I really like Steely Dan's Gaucho DTS-CD as a demo disc. The bass and sax just jump out and sit in your lap.

My suggestions:

- UAKTI - I Ching
- BOZZIO LEVIN STEVENS - Black Light Syndrome
- VERTU - S/T
- BRIAN BROMBERG - Wood
- OZRIC TENTACLES - Curious Corn
- PORCUPINE TREE - In Absentia (DVD-Audio)

Cheers,
Demetrio.
