Beach Boys - Little Deuce Coupe, Get Around. Crazy good SDA effect!

    
Paula Abdul - Album: Spellbound - Songs 1-3
    
Will make the old lady all touchy/feely.. Song 4 has a spot in it where I swear she's yelling at you from about 3 ft away to your right and looking down on you ( above the plane of the speakers).

    
Depeche Mode - Music For The Masses
    
The whole album. After playing Paula and before heading into the BR put this one on... Or just listen to it.

    
Sully Erna - Avalon
    
Yes, I live in Oregon. No I don't smoke weed but if I did....

This should be on the Official SDA Playlist. Made my wife sit, close her eyes and listen to this one. Afterwards, she asked why I had her listen to it in 'surround sound' and not in 2 channel ? I just had to smile. Stunning sound stage & separation with my untouched SDA 2a's.

Listen to some Bill Withers and you'll get the same feelings I believe.

    
I played Mr. Withers CD over and over years ago when I was given it by an old friend who made for me. 
    

    Most people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them.

Oh yea, it does!

    
I've demo'd a lot of sets of speakers using that song. I let a lot of people know who he is. Also "Use me" makes me groove to it. B)

    
I was dating my wife and we split up one night. I heard Bill Wither's song "Ain't no sunshine when she's gone" that night. I took it as a sign and called her up. :D

    
This takes you to YouTube video above but also all the other videos to choose from below it. What a talented guy! B)

I am still working on getting the full SDA experience out of a new to me set of SDA 2B. I have listened to electronic music almost exclusively for the last 30 years. Listing some of my favorites along with some other stuff I have discovered along the way. I am listening to music I am very familiar with only to discover new sounds and effects in almost every track....

    
Jesse Cook - The Blue Guitar Sessions, One Night at the Metropolis
    
Air - Twentyears
    
Nick Warren ‎– Renaissance - The Masters Series
    
Sasha ‎– Global Underground 009: San Francisco
    
Sasha - Involver series

    
I have read through about 75% of this thread and I have seen many suggestions for electronic music. I will finish reading the thread over the next few days.

    
Cheers,
    
Caleb
