Reference "stereo" songs

[Buster]

Here is one, best instrumental version ever;

Frazey Ford's "September Fields" from the album "Indian Ocean"

Not so often a track qualifies for two of my threads at once, second being on "triple guitars" topic..

The Clash - Police & Thieves (Official Audio)

 

[sarumbear]

Post titles (your favourite or "just" quality/reference grade) that feature some clear "stereo" separation/effects. Any genre, era..
If possible, try to insert media in your posts.

Hope I start with nice examples

Keith Richards - Hate It When You Leave

Eagles - One Of These Nights

All pre Sergeant Pepper Beatles albums

It's awesome that with todays technology you can write and produce music as a single person without music-studios involved in the process ...
This is Photosynthesi, an italian synthwave artist. I really like this somewhat "reduced" style of music.

Anything recorded by Roy DuNann of Contemporary Records from the late '50's. My favorite is Curtis Counce', Counceltation AKA later as You Get More Bounce with Curtis Counce. DuNann is a genius that modified Newman microphones to have more sensitivity.

Check out Vangelis and Tangerine Dream to hear the fathers of this style (minus the Disco and Vapour Wave influence).

BTW, i just bought myself an analog synth and am able to generate some of those patches. Just getting started, but maybe i have something cool to show in half a year or so.

Franz Ferdinand - Evil Eye

Here's one of the most natural sounding symphonic recordings I've heard, when it comes to stereo soundstage. They captured the reverb, but also the placement of the instruments both from left to right, and the depth/distance to the listener. It's a nice piece as well.

Antonín Dvořák: "Othello" Overture, Op. 93, B 174
Conductor: Bohumil Gregor
Orchestra: Czech Philharmonic

Edit: Just wanted to say I still love the one mic recordings featured earlier in this thread. I've been listening to a bunch of those recently on my latest speaker project.

Guem - Le Serpent
You can imagine the five drums placed around you in a semicircle - maybe a bit far away to reach them with your hands.

Thank you, this seems (sounds) really nice if we would need a full orchestral classical music track of excellent recording quality for testing our audio setup.

Let me add and share another nice one which I have once shared here showing the analyzed Fq-Time-Gain 3D spectrum: Schubert: Rosamunde, D. 797 - Overture (Die Zauberharfe, D.644), Gewandhauseorchestter Liepzig, Kurt Masur, highly recommended to have/purchase physical CD release!

The famous quiet track-7 "Entr'acte No. 3 in Bf major (Andantino)" is another nice challenge to our audio system.

In track-5 "Romance", how nicely can you hear and see the soprano Elly Ameling at front-center on the stage?

In track-9 "Chorus Of Shepherds", can you identify each singer in the chorus?

Furthermore, in the middle of the track, four of the solo singers from soprano, alto, tenor and bass sing together in the center-back of the stage; we need excellent 3D sound perspectives and good resolution for impressive "identification" of each of the four singers.

Maybe, I spoke/wrote too much about this album...

I just love that train slowly passing from left to right and then the guitar enters followed by an incredible double bass, fantastic album, one of my new go to for reference.

I bought the CD's at her BandCamp site; carmengomes.bandcamp
