a tune that makes my headphones and head go WOOOOOOOW by one of my favorite trance producers, daniel kandi

Ulver is a rather experimental group from Norway. If memory serves, the liner notes for this album mention that it is intended to be listened to with headphones in a darkened room.

Anything Amon Tobin or Eskmo will blow headphones away. Mainly cause of all the sounds they have going on. Daedelus's music is also very layered.

Whatever your genre is.. This will be a keeper.

Shine - EST From Hellsing Ultimate. I think this is a rock song. Pretty much has everything in it.

Phones are vintage AKG K340
Source pc (E-Mu 0404) Behringer monitors(Yes I know Behringer)
Flac rips or downloads
 
Albums I particularly like
 
Charlie Haden Quartet - Sophisticated Ladies 24/96 hdtracks
John Petrucci - Suspended Animation (cd rip)
Metallica - Metallica (dvd-a 24/96 rip)
Béla Fleck - Left Of Cool/Three Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest/UFO TOFU (cd rips)
Dom Minier & la Schola - Splendor (cd rip)
Neil Young - Live At Massey Hall (though I do find the vocals a bit forward, the balance, soundstage, lush highs make this my prefered)
 
Edit: How could I forget Marvin Gaye's What's Going On (MFSL CD rip)
 
and many more, but if I stick around these forums long enough I'm sure I will find other contender cans for those same albums.
 
Anyone agree with one of my choices let me know your gear.
 
Thanks

Quite special, especially with headphones: Charly Antolini - Knock Out. Solo Album of a jazz drummer. Great drumming, great sound

Love the dark vibes and sub bass on this one. Its a shame there is no high quality digital release for many compa songs, only vinyl.
