albert: funny, i never pegged you as a tom waits fan. something worth giving a listen to, if you haven't already, is the latest by john hammond, "wicked grin." all tom waits songs, produced by he of the whiskey & cigarettes voice. saw john in concert last week at the gothic in denver. was hoping tom would show up, unannounced and just jam. as my older son (who gets us all these tickets gratis and, so far, is not too embarrassed to take his really old man) reminded me when i expressed my disappointment: yeah, and people in hell hope for ice water. - kelly

I know there have been a lot of threads discussing the most amazingly 3-D holographic imaging, wall shaking, trouser flapping bass, torturous demos, magical midrange etc., but as an audiophile, I often try to remind myself that a good recording of a GREAT performance should, IMHO, be held in higher esteem than a great recording of a merely GOOD performance. With that in mind, what CDs, DVDs etc do you think are well produced or well recorded -- not necessarily state of the art -- but of sufficiently high quality and where the performance REALLY MOVES YOU or REALLY MAKES YOU VERY HAPPY to play on your system? (To get you started, Mannheim Steamroller, the Sheffield Drum Record and the Video Essentials DVD should not be on the list.) Obviously, if you know of music or a movie that is technically AND creatively superb, so much the better. I am hoping this list will provide excellent suggestions for all.
