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.

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.
Here's a few I haven't seen posted....
Lyle Lovette, Simple Song
The Been Taylor Band, Time of the Season
Chris Jones, Vigilante Man, No Sanctuary Here
Ennio Morricone, The good,the bad, and the ugly
Harold Faltermeyer, Axel F
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

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