Audiophile Music Must Haves?

[Mariner9]

Any EDM that’s well recorded that people recommend?

Perhaps music that was recorded for major labels (e.g. Photek's Modus Operandi album, on Virgin) with plenty of budget for recording and mastering.

Any EDM that’s well recorded that people recommend? Infected Mushroom’s Converting Vegetarians sounds pretty good, but I don’t know how that compares to a really well recorded EDM album.

EDIT: It has a bit of artistic and intentional distortion that may disqualify it from "well recorded", but it's still well recorded IMO.

Here is another popular song.

Two yardmen with gasoline powered leaf blowers wearing ear protection at 7 AM on Saturday.

There's so much good music out there I don't know where to start. Even if it's only the top 2%, its 2% of a large catalog. I like Leonard Cohen, Gillian Welch, Patricia Barber, Mark Knopfler and I don't know how many more.

The Smoke Sessions jazz recordings usually have very good sound quality. I especially like this 2-CD set of Peter Bernstein live. Makes me want to crank it up.

I agree, distortion of love is indeed among my test CD's list.
