Recordings with incredible effects or imaging that we may not know about

I thought this could be fun and actually helpful for some of us wanting something different in our collection. 
One recording that I show off my system with is 
Supertramp - Even in the Quietest Moments.... at the beginning of this track,  there is a bird chirping,  on my system, it is about 3 feet beyond the left speaker and about 10 to 12 feet up,  this bird flies forward, then turns and comes right above your head.  Above your head, it is about 8 to 10 feet up,  it then turns and flies away going right above the right speaker and disappears into the distance.  
So,  what else is there out there that we should all know about that you just know we would all like to have in our collection.  
Please let us know,  Tim

Any of the jazz fusion ECM recordings, or the CTI labels (I'm a vinyl player, you didn't say which format).

The MSFL half-speed masters of both Pink Floyd 'wish you were here' and Alan Parsons 'I Robot' are stellar, I have about 20 of these MSFL Lp's and those two stand out.

Of Monsters and Men  "Beneath the Skin"  (lp)

This record has plenty of air and bloom, the music is at times intense while being reined in to a degree.

A good one to check out if not already.

Happy Listening!

Supertramp "Brother,, Where You Bound".. (lp)

WOW!!


Yep, that one's a winner. Absolutely EXCELLENT sound quality and my favorite Supertramp album by a good margin. There are other Supertramp albums I've enjoyed over the years, but none sounds as good, or is as consistently good across the entire record, as "Brother, Where You Bound". And it's without Roger Hodgson. Maybe that's why it's better, I don't know.....

You should hear the 12" 45 of "Cannonball". It's really good.
