Without doing a history lesson of "head" music from the 1970s, during the early 1990s there was some good techno/electronica albums that made full use of studio tech to create incredible soundscapes......here are some quality examples artist/album.....Chemical Brothers/Planet Dust, Juno Reactor/Bible of Dreams, Fluke/Risotto, Crystal Method/Vegas, Underworld/Beaucoup Fish, Massive Attack/Mezzanine........many many more, unfortunately most audiophiles do not explore this area, sound quality is much better than average rock album, Sam
Ear Candy: Most startling recordings.
OK, we all respect great musical talent and muscianship, but sometimes you put in a CD and you get one of those startling zany recordings that make you smile it is so strange. Some of Neil Young's stuff is kind of like that. Alot of Pink Floyd is like this. Sounds racing across the sounds stage, shifting mike position in mid recording. What are your favorite "ear candy" recordings?
