Best Audiophile recordings

iceraven.....i have heard of j.loussier from a friend and record store owner (gideon, roundhouse records in granada hills,ca) who is from israel and has lived in the uk. he played me some of the bach, we had been talking about wendy carlos. it was verrrrry nice. i plan on getting some of this. oyeah! the standard issue form bmg of harry belafonte ant carnegie is first rate. the squeaking kick drum beater annoys a little once you identify it. my kinds have to participate with this music every time i put it on; theyre teenagers! where do you live? hifitommy@aol.

Even though, i detest "Rock" music, i did enjoy Robert Lucas, on "Audioquest" label. Well, it is not exacly "Rock" it is more blues/rock, but there is something..."unique" about Lucas. Also "Audioquest" is, in my opinion "as good as it get's". And it is CD.

For great alternative/rock recordings here are some suggestions (This is the real challenge as there are many jazz and classical excellent recordings, very few excellent alt/rock recordings) 1)Dead Can Dance - Passage In Time (greatest hits) 2)Cranberries - 1st two albums 3)Cocteau Twins - Victoria land 4)Enya - Paint the Sky With Stars (greatest hits) 5)Loreena McKinnet - Book of Secrets, Mask and Mirrors etc 6)Clan of Xymox - Medusa 7)Sade - Best of Sade These all sound heavenly on good system.
