For me, it's "Dirt Track Date" from Southern Culture on the Skids(great band!). On this cut for the last 6 or so minutes, there is the sound of a dirt track racing car barreling around the track. It's another great imaging test, as the cart not only goes from side to side but to the far side of the track as well. It is so lifelike that those in my house routinely barge into the listening room, mad as hell, swearing someone is going crazy outside, riding around on a motorcycle. When I explain it's the recording, they are in absolute disbelief.
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?
