This guy is an electronic genius. Don't assume this is standard electronica, it's far from it.
 
It's organic. Fantastic deep bass with amazing soundscapes. The LCD-2s are a match made in heaven.
 

 
Yum.
 

 
Ditto.
 

 
And of course...
 

 
The Division Bell.

Since you guys like Indian music, be sure to check out Maneesh De Moor - Om Deeksha. Beautiful.
 

 
Youtube compressed quality of course (CD version is much, much better), but a great track. Bliss.
 
Progressive and subtle. Give it a full listen.
 

 
Another favourite from the album, Om Bhagavan. This one's been cut short.

I'm a longtime OTR fan. Their new one, The Long Surrender, is pretty good, as was the previous release, The Trumpet Child, but the latter is more of a departure from Ohio than the more recent.  I think my favorite is this one (Good Dog Bad Dog):
 

 
It was recently remastered, and is available at a reasonable price after being out of print for a while and at ridiculous prices on the used market.

Good Dog Bad Dog is a really great album, but there is something strange in the recording of the first song "Later Day": for the first minute or so Bergquist's voice shifts ever slightly back and forth between the left and right channel -- perhaps unnoticeable when played through speaker rig but creating kind of annoying, somewhat dizzying, effect when listened with headphones.

Supposedly Classical for one, and some jazz. I've only had mine a couple weeks so I haven't tried much of either yet. Can't seem to get past Rush and other bass heavy stuff right now. Having too much fun.

I think classical and jazz is where the LCD-2 excels. It doesn't do as well as some other headphones in Death metal, metal, hard rock, hip-hop where you would need a brighter headphone with more bass impact.

That's good to know regarding classical and jazz. Regarding metal and hip-hop, do you need a closed headphone to get that kind of bass impact?

I think a great deal has to do with the quality of the recording and the mix.
 
 I listen to a lot of jazz from the 50's and 60's and I have found Jazz from that era on headphones really depends on the mix.  Some of the mixing from that era is simply ridiculous on headphones but really OK on a speaker rig as far as the philosophy of mixing and recording Jazz from that era.
