What are your favorite songs or albums for illustrating a deep soundstage?

Reference track suggestions:

On by LA Priest from their Fase Luna album. It’s a little psychedelic which is reflective within the soundstage.

Aht Uh Mi Hed by Rahill from Sun Songs.

Bubbles by Yosi Horikawa from his Wandering album, but I think this had been suggested (maybe not?).

This is probably a bit grating and avant garde but I really liked the soundstage when I listened to it on my 20.7s last night. "Ozymandias" off the "Dystonia" album.

Thanks for posting this!

I love atonal, dissonant, and overall, ’angular’ and ’thorny’ sounding classical music, so this sounds right up my alley. I will listen to it more on Bandcamp when I get home tonight.

I am familiar with Thirtwell’s other bands and projects, but have never been too impressed.

Most likely this has been recorded using something like a Blunlein (or some other XY or AB) mic configuration, which would account for the natural soundstage width and depth.

@blisshifi check out Chris Isaak. Have three of his albums. All are audiophile quality recordings.

Carly Pearce - Every Little Thing

The drums being so far back create a nice background to the voice and instruments that are upfront.
