Recordings with incredible effects or imaging that we may not know about

Turn the lights out and listen to Jean Michel Jarre Oxygen!

Duran Duran Tiger Tiger has the circling thing - in fact many albums had that affect - Ultravox used effects to.
Beach Boys Caroline No (train crossing dogs barking at the end)

Chris Whitley - "Perfect Day". Purchased this CD 20 years ago, played it once and put it away. Played it two days ago and was blown away by this remarkably well-recorded album. Focus is on percussion within the soundscape (wood blocks, rim-shot sort of accents). Sound may be due to my new B&W 804s.

Circa 1999 I had a 27" picture tube tv mounted in a cabinet (GE I think). Whenever I put (e.g.) a football game on I could distinctly hear the higher frequency components of crowd noise coming from spots far outside the span of the tv set with its usual pair of small front-firing speakers. I marveled at it and wondered how to replicate the psychoacoustics. Several years later the picture went bad, and I found to my dismay that the replacement tv (same type, size, mounting etc. but a different brand) did not produce the effect. I had expected that whether the effect was from the old tv or from some acoustic anomaly related to its mounting position in the room, I would hear the same thing. I never did, nor have I heard it again with the flatscreens that have since replaced the old beasts.

Julian Lennon - The album is called Help Yourself  
The track I know has the all around you effect is called Would You

Listen to a Vangelis or Alexander Vollenweider album, lots of ambient "stuff" going on...

I'm not a big "new age" listener, but have a small collection of 70-80's records. Great stuff for a momentary escape.

These 2 albums always come with me to shows- Vangelis record "China" and AV ablum White Winds" Great reason to blast "Yin & Yang"  and "Brothership"  on a top notch table.
Always blows away unsuspecting listeners in the room.

Pink Floyds "DSM"-"On the Run" never gets old, especially on a killer system.

Thanks for chiming in guys,  I'll check out all of these

Off the top of my head.. I've always had a soft spot for...

"Fiesta" Dallas Wind Symphony/Howard Dunn/ Reference Recordings/(lp)

Maybe not quite as dramatic as the previous posts, but I like the first cut from Santana’s Abraxas (Singind Winds, Crying Beasts). When dialed in, the chimes on both sides should have a very ethereal feel and sound to them, very airy, very 3D, a few feet forward and outside from the plane of the speakers. They should sound like fingers gently running thru them, making them ring with a variety of colorful  tones.

I love me some Floyd.  I don't have this album and will definitely check it out.  Thanks!

Roger Waters: Amused to Death. For so many years I thought that its the neighbor's dog barking outside (Right side, the street side from my sweet spot) 
Funny thing, the sound of that f@)&ng dog is so realistic, I forgot that it was there even when I listened to the album when residing on the 7-th floor of the apartment building...
