I am genuinly surprised that it was not mentioned so far but... Allan Taylor - Colour To The Moon  Recorded with Stockfish Records this track is meant to testing HiFi equipment :) The whole album "Closer to the Music" from Stockfish Records is audiophile but i use this track in particular to...

This thread has been going on for years so I decided to wrap up things here. I went through the 23 pages to see which bands have been mentioned the most here.
