What CD has the best production/sound?

re: post by kleiman421. "art for the ear" is actually a tag line used by burmester to describe its products. the cd to which you are likely referring is vorfurings-cd II (there's an umlaut over the u). there is also a "volume" 3 that is likewise stunning. (never seen vol.1) i have access to a very limited supply of both discs, tho they're expensive, just like the beautiful burmester products for which they were produced. if you are interested, email me and i'll give you the prices.

if you want generalities: some of the best-produced cd's (and lp's) are c&w and blues. almost anything by willie nelson sounds great; the remastered redheaded stanger will knock your socks off. for blues, try anything on analogue productions (acoustics sounds) or telarc/blues. one of the greatest pair of producers is daniel lanois and brian eno (u2, dylan, etc.). for gorgeous cajun/rock try lanois' own album, arcadie. oh yeah, some gospel stuff is also first-rate in sound/production. buy the 1st fairfield four cd, if you don't already own it (standing in the safety zone).
