On headphones: Jean-Michel Jarre: Equinoxe Pt. 4 (a good recording of this will actually tickle the first time you hear it), Magnetic Fields Pt. 1; Pink Floyd: Shine On You Crazy Diamond Pt. 4 (the guy laughing after one of the lines sounds like he's in the room with you); Mike Oldfield: Platinum Pt. 1 (the most separated I've ever heard).
Ear Candy: Most startling recordings.
OK, we all respect great musical talent and muscianship, but sometimes you put in a CD and you get one of those startling zany recordings that make you smile it is so strange. Some of Neil Young's stuff is kind of like that. Alot of Pink Floyd is like this. Sounds racing across the sounds stage, shifting mike position in mid recording. What are your favorite "ear candy" recordings?
