Hey all. What recordings do u have where the soundstage just goes from wall to wall? I recently rearranged my room and the Q sound recording of amused to death - Roger waters - just went thru the roof. It was good before but is more wow now.

What other recordings expand your room?

Amused to Death is a sound effects recording.....not music! NT

I disagree. IMO, the effects serve the overall musical statement, not dominate it. nt.

percussion instruments are far 'front' left/right almost parallel to your feet.

I hear it on Pandora often around Sunset, a really great song (for me anyway) to cap off the day.

I Ching's "Of the Moon and the Marsh" is also pretty sweet. Andreas Vollenweider's "Caverna Magica". "Man, that mouse is Awesome." - Kaemon (referring to Jerry, of Tom and Jerry fame)
