There is much to be said for good production quality... I just picked up a pair of HD 600's about a week ago and have been listening to my CDs nonstop here are some amazingly well produced sonic eargasm selections:

Canvas Solaris - Irradiance
Hilary Hahn - Bach Concertos
Cradle of Filth - nymphetamine
Nine inch Nails - The downward spiral
Sikth - death of a dead day
Opeth - Blackwater Park
Epica - design your universe
Rodrigo y Gabriela - self titled

Well I just picked up rodrigo y Gabriela's new cd Area 52 which sports a Latin 13 piece orchestral set to back them up, produced beautifully... Listening to it now, impressed

The one song I can't stop playing right now...Bat for Lashes - Laura.  A simple arrangement and yet so theatrical and grand.

Also, new track by Onova is pretty smashing!! Enjoy. :D

 

I'm aware this is a shameless plug but it's also very good music in my opinion  One of my favorite indie artists Blue Stahli released his 3rd "Anti sleep" album yesterday. If you like it you can get it at Fixtstore.

 

 

A few albums I always listen to when I get a new pair of headphones:

 

1. Yes - Close To The Edge (No explanation needed really)

2. Harmonium - L'Heptade (And the rest of their albums, glad I have them all on vinyl)

3. John Coltrane - A Love Supreme (Just for the sheer energy of it)

4. Maps & Atlases - Trees, Swallows, Houses (Just a fantastically composed math rock EP)

5. Marvin Gaye - What's Going On and Let's Get It On (Nothing sounds better than Marvin's voice)

 

Edit: I am never one to just listen to one song on an album, so sorry for not being specific haha. But in any case, from start to finish these all take me on a journey where I can kick back, turn off the lights and escape for a few hours...

One of the smartest statement's I've heard in a while.

 

Though, I have to admit, I enjoy listening to music but I also enjoy listening to my headphones. With some sets I listen to the music and some I listen to the cans themselves. The ones for music get used more obviously, but I still enjoy the others. I don't think there's anything wrong with that.
