ghost rider. I lost my Ultrazone CD and found it yesterday. Man is it well done. All Steve's other recording are mostly horrible, so I didn't even try this one in my hifi system. You are right - very good recording.

In Absentia and Deadwing - Procupine Tree... both very well recorded Seedees and very cool music to boot (Prog-rock).

Good listening
Arkio, You are correct about In Absentia and Deadwing being excellent recorded cds. What about some of Porcupine Tree's earlier work, such as, Up the Downstair, The Sky Moves Sideways, and Signify. All are great music and all superb recordings. Steve Wilson from Porcupine Tree also helped produced Fish's (ex-frontman from Marillion) Sunset's on Empire album from '97. Steve W. basically revived Fish's career with his production and guitar playing on that album.

Some great Marillion cds are Clutching at Straws, Brave, and Afriad of Sunlight.
I hope I am not confusing engineering with sound quality.

Seal: 1st 2 albums

Dire Straits: Brothers in Arms

King Crimson: Heavy Construcktion. You would never know this is live. DAT. Incredible BASS

Brian Ferry: Boys and Girls. One of the cleanest sounding rock albums ever.
