Need Some Demo Music

[Matt34]

I'm not a critical listener of music, there, I said it.

But..

I'm selling some speakers and need some recommendations on some good, quality music to make my speakers shine (Apparantly, All that Remains, Hatebreed and Five Finger Death Punch don't cut it).

10-12 tracks should do it, don't really care what genre. Just something I can queue up on the Apple TV and stream away for potential buyers.

Thanks

Trentemoller - The Last Resort

or

Venus Hum - Big Beautiful Sky

Both these CD albums sound like they could be SACD's... they will give your speakers a full range workout with lots of bass (very TIGHT and DEEP bass), detailed vocals (Venus Hum) and high end treble/highly detailed electronic noise sources that go to infrasonic. The question is can the speakers properly handle it...

You could use this test CD from nuforce; it is a free download: Nuforce Demo - Sound Quality Listening Guide

You'll also want a way to play music that they bring, if they do. They know what they like, after all.

One that popped into my head:

Chris Isaak - Baby Did A Bad Bad Thing (and others from his "Forever Blue" album)

My odd collection of semi popular middle aged man rock songs (that don't include prog or metal)...
Eric Johnson "Cliffs of Dover"
Stevie Ray Vaughan's cover of "Little Wing"
Spin Doctors "Jimmy Olsen's Blues" (most people would rather "Two Princes" but I'm not most people)
Jethro Tull "bungle in the Jungle"
Natalie Merchant "Carnival"

Just some songs...I'm not usually a critical listener either.

Stumbled upon this song a few minutes ago. Deep resounding percussion = Wow.

Way Down Deep, by Jennifer Warnes. Not the only worthy song on her album The Hunter.

StrongbadF1's pick of middle aged man rock songs reminded me of one of my favorites, Jeff Beck...

Just get the Jeff Beck: Live at Ronnie Scotts Blu-Ray and play that... one of the best mixed concert Blu-Rays ever! The DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 track is AWESOME, like better than most any SACD 5.1 mixes AWESOME !
