looking for a recording with nice wide soundstage

So I finally dialed in my room. I picked up some acoustic panels from an audio store that was going out of business and now everything sounds fantastic. That was the missing link in the room. Roger Waters Amused to Death album sounds scary good with sounds coming from behind and either side on a 2 channel system.
Looking for some suggestions on CDs that have a very wide sound stage. I once heard a demo years ago of a pair of Watt puppys and two tracks transported me from a smokey little jazz club to a huge arena. Looking for some suggestions to do the same thing. Any ideas?
Thanks.

The cd title "Buddy & Julie Miller" by, oddly enough, Buddy and Julie Miller. The song Dirty Water has a sound stage that is simply jaw dropping. It may be hard to find, it's a 2001 release.

Oystein Sevag's "Global House" CD from many years ago, still available on Amazon/from various Amazon sellers. Track 2 in particular has incredibly wide sound staging with digeridoos which open up far left (at least 6-8 feet) of the left speaker, pan across simiarly to the far right and beyond and then hit you from both left and right extremes. Fun music on the disc as well including a t-storm effect track with bouncing keyboard runs with alot of left->right traversal action.

Also Dead Can Dance's latest album "Anastasis", extremely wide, deep, tall and enveloping soundstage.....
