Terry Riley:s In C comes to my mind, extreamly uterly disturbing, weird, fantastic view on minimalism.

That K26P recomendation seems solid, if the headband shrinks enough for her. Thanks for all of you, if you remember some solid kid / baby friendly model please post here

Hi all! I remember there being discussion here about headphones for babies but my search-fu ain't that great and this subject is close to my heart. I'm trying to find my baby her first set of headphones, as my HP-1000 (phillips) and K271 S:s are way too large for her Can you suggest...

Just one album to add that wasn't here already, Jose Gonzalez - In Our Nature. One of the best albums this year, not the best, but close

Hard decision, between albums Absinthe and Astronome, but Absinthe is my call today Btw, I'm pleased to find that there are other "zornheads" around here

Massive Attack - Angel

"The Noose" - Naked City (0:12)

Phantasmagoria by Melt Banana

Anton Fier:s album Dreamspeed, amazing record all together and nice soundstage

Used K271S is THE headphone in that price point, there are plenty of those around

Thank god US ain't the world, not even close

HP1000 is a amazing headphone for the money, under 100€ is exelent! And new pairs dont suffer from crackling headband either. I think the sound is pretty similar to senn HD600 exept the bass aint as deep and refined.

Am I the only one that prefers pleather? Pleather on my K271S is fantastic.. I love it. I must be weirdo.. I like velour but pleather is more comfy for me..

As we were talking about Finnish folk music (if you dig that that is) I recomend also Loituma, Folkswagen and HC Anderssen (which is nothing like finnish folk music, well it is, but anyway it's an differend animal) Also check out Flod, fantastic "folk" group from western finland, they sing in...

Cataplus, album Sielu

Oh and check out Karjalan Sissit, that's definetly not folk, but mystic, ambient, orchestral, dark, yes.

Just to list few bands that are worth mentioning on these genres: Áine Minogue, pretty celtic stuff, mysterious.. I dont know if this count under here, but still great and dark stuff: Arcana And if you plan on looking into avantgarde side of things: Chien-Yin Chen is worth a look...

I wouldnt under any circumstances call Hedningarna dark But if you like that, listen to Loituma also. (And Sanna Kurki-Suonio:s solo works, especialy record Musta). That is if you like lyrical Hedningarna also and not only their instrumental stuff. Edit: Equimanthorn is GREAT, dont miss...

Used K271S:s are at that price point. For me those are pretty much unbeatable at that price. And as a side note for those who say that these are sweaty, buy cloth pads for those or reverse the original pads, the otherside is softer pleather and has actualy realy nice feel to those.

Well I use in my studio akg:s K271S and use monitors for live tracking but then again my partner in crime uses HD580:s for live tracking and Genelec monitors for mixing.. Go figure.. There are differend animals in studios too! But mostly yeah, studio headphones are some cheap Fostex:s or Sony:s

Drooool.. those are HOT! I think I'm going to hunt one of those, and if I find one that's broken I'm going to mod my K271S in those, that would be ONE hot headphone.

Thanks to you all about great information on Trip-Hop in general, it's hard to try to figure out which bands should be included in it, as the genre itself seems as flexible as an elastic rubber band. In this and the other thread about Trip-Hop I see lots of names that I'm VERY familiar with...
