great thread...lots of new listening ideas! My top 3:
vinyl - Dead Can Dance - Ubiquitous Dr Lovegrove - great percussion for transients and speed
Depeche Mode - Dream on - acoustic guitar and harmonized vocals for critical listening
digital - Marion Herzog/Chris Jones - No Sanctuary Here - incredible bass test for detail and resolution in the low range
