Calling All Phish Fans

Can anyone help me to learn more about Phish?

While wandering through a record store recently, I was really grabbed by the music playing in the background -- and surprised to find out from the store "DJ" that he was playing Phish -- something from a double album perhaps?

It has now faded from my memory a bit, but I thought it sounded get up out of my chair catchy and rythmic and layered -- less stonerish and Grateful Dead esque than I would have expected. (Not that I have anything against either of those subjects.)

To further pique my interest, a friend of mine (although he is not an audiophile) recently told me that he thought the best demo for a great stereo system was anything by Phish?!?!

Does anyone else agree that Phish is a good audiophile demo?
And where should I begin? Is there a classic Phish track or CD that will quickly get me up the learning curve? Are any better recordings than the others?

Thank you very much.

at the prompting of this thread, i dug out junta this evening. i had forgotten how good this pair of discs was, and now that i have a decent system capable of resolving an image and soundstage of believable proportions ( as opposed to a boombox upon which i would listen in my high school days) i can better appreciate my younger days when psychotropic organics compensated for the live event (not that they hurt or detracted from the live event, but...)
extremely enjoyable listening, nice trip to say the least
gotta go, rift is next in my phish flashback
