Ear Candy: Most startling recordings.

OK, we all respect great musical talent and muscianship, but sometimes you put in a CD and you get one of those startling zany recordings that make you smile it is so strange. Some of Neil Young's stuff is kind of like that. Alot of Pink Floyd is like this. Sounds racing across the sounds stage, shifting mike position in mid recording. What are your favorite "ear candy" recordings?

Try "Sao Paulo Confessions," by Suba on Six Degrees. Great system workout--Brazilian jazz fusion, funk dance, for lack of a better description. Excellent recording. Also, anything by Yello, the Swiss pair who made their name in the 80s. Their stuff is some of the most listenable techno that was ever cut. Again, excellent recordings, technically.

Lost Highway soundtrack (sounds HUGE), Delirium Kharma (layers upon layers of eastern influenced trance), Anything by Ottmar Liebert (contains elements that are almost subliminal), and Steve Vai's Ultrazone (extremely well recorded weirdness).

Agree, the Venus 24 bit cd's are extraordinary, as are the MPS, both of which are available through Red Trumpet. Some of the best redbook sound I've heard.
