1st SACD Purchase


I just acquired a transport that plays SACDs.  I own a few thousand CDs, but not a single SACD.  So, I want to purchase a SACD to give this transport a run for its money.  Please suggest to me one SACD release that will really expose my transport and the rest of the system to a good test of its capabilities to reproduce quality sounds.  Any genre works for me.

Thanks

Natasha Barrett - Trade Winds SACD
-----------------------------
Natasha Barrett is holding a PHD and at the moment professor for 3D sound at the university at Oslo. Sound with "plankton micro details".
Quite nice and relaxing music.


Louise Rogers - Black Coffee SACD
---------------------------------
Very nice Jazz - even for those who do not like Jazz in general so much. Just consider it extremely good pop - very well recorded.
This is "audiophile" while very nice for those who just like relaxing music with some kicks from time to time.


Friedemann - Beauty and Mystery of Touch SACD
----------------------------------------
Friedemann music can be confused with synthesizer.
It is 100% instrumental, I have seen him and his band live.
The music might be called Jazz-Rock or Fusion or World Music.


Goldfrapp - Supernature SACD
-----------------------
Some engaging bass-driven pop.
