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

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.

Hello all,  I did purchase a few of these and most likely will grab a couple more.  One disc that I bought was Jean Michael Jarre Oxegene.... Quite frankly,  I didn't care for it,  but to those that do Like it,  It reminded me very strongly of another album that I have .... Absolute Sound Hearts of Space.  Any of you that like One, should like the other.

I did have a short list of vinyl and digital sonic gems to add however I feel the need to bring more attention to a sonic blockbuster just recently released by Tonian Labs , a percussion recording titled Drums & Bells .
This recording has astonishing realistic dynamics and timbre  which in my opinion will directly challenge Any past or present percussion recording done in any format offered ,....any so called HI-Res offering ,.any SACD ,.any Blue Ray from any lable and any vinyl recording done past or present by any recording engineer you choose ,.And the real surprise with Drums & Bells  it’s entirely done in 44 /16 .  The main stream press are strangly silent about this incredible run of the mill standard CD even Steve Hoffman’s site wouldn’t publish my comments on Tonian Labs , What’s going on ? ,.wink wink 

Tony Massian the owner and recording engineer of Tonian Records has a collection of recording microphones valued at over 1/4 million dollars which some he modified to capture the realism of his recording of Drums & Bells ,

This would be the best 20 bucks you have ever spent on your system and of course the better the playback components the more realistic it sounds ,.
