My default choice for staging shenenigans is:
"Space Age Bachelor Pad Music" by Esquivel.
Now, be warned that no one will confuse this with Mozart, but the special effects are undeniable.
One other interesting choice is Lindsey Buckingham's "Under The Skin". This is about the polar oppposite of "Bachelor Pad" The songwriting is terrific (as is the playing). The staging is much subtler, but the tracks "Show You How" and "It Was You" feaure multiple vocal parts - each of which is captured with unusual ambience. It's a manufactured effect, and not purist audiophile by any means, but really striking with the right system.
