Recordings that trounce your system?

Driver, you poor dear. How can you possibly still have a functioning carburetor on that Honda?! Actually, the 83-87 Civics weren't terrible cars, but clearly the 88-91 were Honda's best care ever, especially the 1.6 EX or Si. Up here in the rust belt they averaged only 18 months per exhaust system and 4 years on those crappy copper radiators.
Then there are the timing belts, ignition igniters, water pumps, and struts that'll break your teeth with therir ungenerous 1" travel! But what a fun upgrade for you....

check this out but be warned it will play havoc. I have actually use this disc to demo speakers and salespeople just about lose it. It is muzig vs the auteurs a electronic artist remixing the auteurs. At time very melodic at others very demanding of speakers.

Deven, which havoc-making record is that? BTW, most decca recordings of K Ferrier & Fischer-Dieskau (on emi) can trounce the system: very difficult to get the tonality of voice & accompanying piano right!
Cheers

Greg, you might well add E. Schwarzkopf to that list(emi), especially the US pressings.

Peter Gabriel's fourth album (Security)
the song The Rythum of the HEat

the tribal drumming pushes all headroom aside

if your system is up for it, it's a real joy
