Best Recording of Music

What is the best recording of music have you heard on CD, Vinyl? Not Best Music but music that has been recorded for the ultimate in playback and listening. Jazz, classical, pop, rock, etc.

Right now I am listening to the re-mastered box set, Citizen, by Steely Dan and I would have to put that at the top of my list. These guys were genius' in the care they took in how an album was recored imho.

Alright, you got me, poor use of English and poor description. I should say a recorded base line which can be reproduced successfully on a good system. I should say that Waterfalls is one of the most startling recordings I have heard. The other is the legendary Dali Demo CD, particularly Hugh Masekela's " Coal Train". Anyone unmoved by the anger in that, has'nt a soul

Colin Walcott "Cloud Dance" on ECM is a recording masterpiece, give or take the music. I think that in it's own way Louis Armstrong's Hot 5's and 7's 78's in mono from the late 20's are sublime.

It is amazing how much good music there is out there from people that I have never heard of. Dead Can Dance sounds fasinating. I looked at some of their You Tube clicks. I will need to pick up that Into the Labyrinth album.
