That is without a doubt the daftest comment I've seen posted on here in very long time and as this is Pinkfish and we are all batty that is one high bar to reach.
Congratulations sir.

I couldn't get my head round that record at all when I first heard it - I guess was my first exposure to footwork - really like it now. Weird to think it's almost a decade old.
You're right, loads of electronic music sounds amazing from a sound quality perspective but never gets mentioned on these sorts of threads.
I’d heard quite a bit of footwork before that album, though not bought much other than Teklife’s finest, such as DJ Rashad’s Double Cup, and some Spinn and Taso, and Manny. Double Cup still sounds different, in a good way.
I nearly posted the Jlin in that recent channel separation thread, but thought better of it. Probably not something I’d want to hear on headphones, as it’s (literally) all over the place.

Yes, absolutely. I'm a huge fan of electronic music. I don't use it as test tracks because I'm very familiar with acoustic instruments and so I want to use those as references for checking details in equipment.
But electronic music in general - listen to it all the time. I love Garage for a start, but I also listen a lot to Weather Report, Jan Hammer and those guys.
I guess you don't get it much at Shows because it's usually the tear jerking vocals that pull punters in.

You are strange. Why ever would I report your posts ?...the mods would laugh at me.

I'd be more drawn in by the sound of Dopplereffekt. I'm sure I'm not alone. Though I don't really go to hi-fi shows much.

Don't be silly, no one is reporting anyone but you have to admit it was a rather daft comment to make.
You like what you like and that's great, a GF I had back in 2007 didn't "get" music at all and only had 3cd's in her collection, all freebies from a Sunday paper so it takes all sorts and she was utterly perplexed that I would make time to sit down and "merely" listen to music, it was an entirely alien concept to her that folk "actively" listened rather than it be background noise
Don't sweat it, its just a forum

Do you still have her phone number by any chance? She sounds great.

My question was in response to:
You seemed to answer my question on behalf of Waxxy, so I interpreted that as agreeing with his statement. Waxxy subsequently agreement with your definition completed the circle.

Foo Fighters albums were also remarkably undynamic.

Some EDM has terrific mixing, reverbs, spatial effects, sub bass, pings and pops and all that. Been out the loop of it for a while but here's a couple that have some quality production and pretty good tunes, if you're into that sort of thing:
Might get an EDM music thread going, could do with some fresh inspiration here.
Jealous of what? I have a really nice system thanks, sounds stunning. If I wanted a fancier one I could but I have a wide range of interests & hobbies.

I don't use "audiophile" music to demo systems but while browsing a pile of long unused CD's today I noticed one call the Linn Collection 1998 which appears to have been a freebie with Hi-Fi News at the time. I suspect it's supposed to be the sort of music they'd expected you to use to demo a system. It all seems well mastered and some of it (especially the classical stuff) is very good, but some is the sort of thing I expect you'd hear in a hi-fi show demo (not that I've ever been to one!).
Back in the day, when I lived in Hong Kong (and I did ship my system out) there was an excellent CD shop near where I used to catch the ferry home. The sold quite a bit of audiophile CD's and I do recall buying a few - I'll need to see if I can find them and see if they are actually any good.
