  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?

1. Shelly Manne & Jack Marshall - "Sounds Unheard Of"
Acoustic guitar and percussion on Analogue Productions vinyl.

2. Mikey Hart - "Dafos" (whole CD/LP)
Unreal percussion and sounds. Eerie kind of stuff. So far outside the speakers it's in your neighbors yard. Especially when he/they start using non-drums to make percussion sounds in the right side of the soundtsage. Banging metal pipes and stuff. A whole lot of fun.

3. Dianne Schuur - "Somewhere over the Rainbow". From her "Music in Me" CD. Breathtaking acapella, center stage, brings a smile to my face and goosebumps every time it's played. First cut I placed on my test CD. Ear candy in a different way.

4. Isley Brothers 12" "Eighth Wonder of the World". Talk about sounds all over the place. Especially the jamaican influenced dub mix. Un-freaking real percussion and Ernie Isley on guitar moving all over the place all the time.
