Massive Attack -- 100th Window

One of my very favorites. It used to be a common demo at a hi-fi store near me... that Sinead O'Connor track is one of the better demo songs out there.

Morrissey -- Years Of Refusal

Carole King - Tapestry

Ultravox -- Vienna

Apart from the title track, which is pretty much all anyone remembers, there is a ton of good stuff on here. A punk band going new wave with the help of Conny Plank's krautrock chops. Also sounds really great for a (very) early eighties production.

Big Audio Dynamite II - The Globe

Vanessa Carlton -- Harmonium

CD

Pet Shop Boys -- Introspective

CD

Steely Dan - AJA (MFSL)

Paul McCartney and Wings - Band on the Run (DCC)

Wow, this sounds fucking incredible on the HF-2 out of the AA.

Autechre - Chiastic Slide. Poor little underrated transitional gem, imo.

R: But it's on Bona Drag cause Bona Drag is a collection of all his singles

after the first couple of...

D: I dont think it's on Viva Hate man, we'll have to look when I get home

R: Uhhh... Betcha five bucks. I'd swear it

D: I'll take that bet

R: Okay, it's on there!

R: 1, 2... Oh! Soda...

R: Eth, Eth's go' a mouf full o' cookies!

Me too on all counts. I was listening today on the Amarra setup and I thought my speakers were dying but confirmed on headphones that there are some weird distortions on the low notes in Ugly Face and Little Angel especially. Interesting that those had not stood out before.
