Best tracks to "show off" your system

FIM Audiophile Reference IV offers a nice mix of well recorded, musically enjoyable titles.

Wstritt, I believe Sheffield is relocating and perhaps that why their page is down. http://www.regnar.com/Sheffield%20Recordings.htm (last CD on the list) indicates that one should still be able to order it. I guess I'll have to wait and see.

Since I am here...another favorite demo CD is Lorena McKennit (sp) Book of Secrets. I use the third song, but they are all exceptional.

From a wide variety of genres:
1. Dire Straits - On Every Street - Fade to black
(alternate: Love Over Gold - Telegraph road)
2. Steely Dan - Gaucho - Hey nineteen
(alternate: Aja - I got the news)
3. Alan Parsons - Gaudi - La sagrada familia
4. Nnenna Freelon - Shaking Free - Nature boy
5. Jesse Cook - Vertigo - Byzantium underground
6. Dave Brubeck - Double Live - Take five (best recording out there on disc, IMO)
7. Various artists - Jazz A Saint Germain - Summertime (Anjelique Kidjo) (thanks, Pascal)
8. John Scofield - A go go - A go go
9. Fiona Apple - Tidal - Slow like honey
