High quality recordings any genre

@mapman I must congratulate you on a very good take on music.  This is the way people who make it (tracking/mixing/mastering) feel.

If you want to check out something very new and quite extraordinary, check out ACT 3, Ryan Ulyate.  I attended his record release party this past week and it was an amazing recording.  Nominated for a grammy already.  One of the very few written in ATMOS and mixed by a master who grew up in the 60s and 70s.  If you love Pink Floyd and the great bands of that era you will love this record.  His most recent gig was mixing all Tom Petty's work for the last 15 years and he has now written his own music and drafted some incredible players to help him.

I think its always tough in these " whats a great sounding record" hreads as it hard to tell with a poster if its the music that makes it a great album or whom mixed (or mastered it).  I tend to follow the mix engineer, as these are the folks most closely deciding what the album sounds like.  Engineers often work with the same mastering engineer over and over. Mastering is not remixing it so its not massive changes at the mastering level.. 

So follow the great engineers and that's a good palce to start.  Al Schmidt- now passed- was a great engineer.   Ed Cherney, Elliot Scheiner, Bill Schnee. to name only a few,  Follow engineers and you are more likely to find a good sounding record.
