Best use of stereo. Please share links to your favorites.

[Cock-Robin]

FT, you did a number by Poco. Here's another on the same album which is my favorite:

[Cock-Robin]

Here's another one by another group. Remember when some from King Crimson, ELP and Yes got together to form the group Asia? This was pretty much a one-hit wonder from them:

Heat of the Moment

[FrodoTook]

Sorry, I will fix the link for The Islander later today. I have a final due in about 6 hours that I need to finish.

I hope you fared well in your final and look forward to your return..sharing The Islander.

That my friend...kicks it. Thank you. Very much. A HOT Tune I have not heard in quite a while and I thank you for sharing it. I am rocking to it now as I type.

Here is another Hot One which I share gleefully with all of you.

There's a storm to come. A fine storm.

Grand hot stereo. with awesome lyrics..in my humble opinion.

GETS REALLY HOT STEREO AFTER THE LYRICS...3:17 ALL THE WAY TO THE END.

Pack up your free ins and hold your own
there is a storm to come

Pack up your rockin' chair... (pack up your rockin' chair)

Wait for the river like some captive home in your mind

Baby go back where you come from

Sister, brother hope there's somethin' here to learn

All the money we been brewin' never havin' nothin' come true

Lay down the chosen share... (lay down the chosen share)

Statefully shiver someone else a half of the time

Maybe shoot down your brother's heart
And said things you think to be unkind

But leave my heart alone

Got these troubles of my own

Now you've had some time on the road with yourself again
Unleash the holdin' house... (unleash the holdin' house)

Statefully statin' somethin' isn't comin' your way
While everything you've been for
Is comin' around to your back door

Leave my heart alone
Got these troubles of my own...

but just
Leave my heart alone
Got these troubles of my own

I hope yall enjoyed this and I hope you share more.

Santanas black magic woman..at the least, check out 3:34 onwards.
will set you free to ride on Steppenwolfs magic carpet 2:00 forward is a stone cold cool trip.

[FrodoTook]

A vivid memory of stereo from a while back.

Obscure to some, I am sure..but I loved this...and it is my pleasure to have found this and share it with you. Hoping it is new and enjoyable to you, please put your head phones on or your ear buds in and enjoy the stereo of

Kraftwerk

I really do hope you give this a hear.

Right to the left to the right and back again to the extremes.

I found this band after Pink Floyd and enjoyed the thematic feel of this album.
Of course, the theme can only be felt after listening for a while..just as it does for PF.

[FrodoTook]

Thank you all for sharing.

[GoodSam]

Has anyone mentioned Aldo Nova - Fantasy?

[GoodSam]

Then there's this one! Still epic!

I see lots of references to Pink Floyd. Have you ever been fearless?

[Arassuil]

I have to say I've been enjoying time on the headphones since I first read this thread. I save the links to listen to when I have a chance. Lots of good music here!

FrodoTook beat me to posting Kraftwerk! I probably would have had this one posted earlier, but it's been a crazy busy week both at home and at work. Love Kraftwerk, especially their early work. Here is Megahertz. It had the whole 2001 Space Odyssey thing going on!

Here is another song by a band that was going strong for years. This song is from a really good album from 1974(?) called Moontan. Golden Earring - Vanilla Queen. At about 6:00, there is some interesting effects with a vocal track and other sounds.

So many good stereo effect songs out there in my eclectic catalog of music. In the 60's. There were really some awesome tunes that really put the stereo tracking and overdubs to the test, probably since stereo and 8-track recording, were rather new. One is the Chambers Brothers - Time Has Come Today. A gospel/soul/folk band that went electric, this was the pinnacle of their experimentation.

The Moody Blues were great at using stereo to good effect. I always liked The Story In Your Eyes.

On the more subtle side, the Talking Heads - Once In A Lifetime has that tingling bells playing with the stereo separation in the background, with bits of backing vocals popping in here and there. And I just love this song.

I think I shared this a few years back in the rock on thread, but it's worthy of an encore. Joe Walsh - County Fair
Good stereo effects throughout the whole song, but especially in the middle jam. I like this particular youtube upload because it's definitely from the original analog vinyl. I can hear the odd pop throughout the song. The video is pretty good to watch too.

I'll close this post with some old psychedelic ethereal wizardry, Gandalf - Golden Earrings

[GoodSam]

I have to agree on The Talking Heads. I always liked them. Joe Walsh and Moody Blues are also good. I'd never heard the Chambers Brothers. They remind me of BTO.

[Lily Rose]

The Moody Blues are very interesting, and if you can believe it, are still touring.
I do not have working headphones or even a decent system to listen to music one, so I have had to guess at stereo effects. Rush's music is full of them, and it doesn't take a good system to figure that out. I can say the same thing about Dream Theater.

Um...back to the non-working link.
I'm sorry that it took so long to get back to you, FT, but here is a working link

Oh, and I got 100% on the website that I created for my final!

YES!!!

Wayta go Lily Rose.

Thank you GoodSam ...
for sharing Children of the sun which I am listening to right now as I type.

Absolutely awesome.

Please bring on more yall.

[FrodoTook]

Great call out there!!! I, too, love the sounds I hear and appreciate them even moreso now.

The tingling sounds..indeed!!!

Thank you Arassuil...very much.

"Same as it ever was"...I had not heard this in a while and enjoyed it ever much more.

It did not sound the same as it ever was. It sounded...even better.

Because of your words.

[FrodoTook]

Hey Lily Rose

Thank you so much for coming back and sharing Nightwish...The Islander

I am of Irish heritage. I found myself thinking back on my forebearers and definitely enjoyed the tune and video..which I think was great.

Thanks again for something new and enjoyable.

Very cool of you Lily.

[FrodoTook]

GlassHouse shared Spacebase in The Prog Rock thread. I feel it is worth sharing here.

Enjoy.

:thppt::thumbsup:

Thanks GlassHouse

[Lily Rose]

Ft, I am a mix of Irish and Viking, so songs like that are very appealing to me. Another Nightwish tune with an exceptional mood that will take you back to an ancient, moonlit night is Moondance...try this one:-

[Arassuil]

Got a bit of Led in the head, and though it is sort of a wierd song, Hats Off To Roy Harper really has the stereo effects!

[FrodoTook]

Great share Arassuil Hats off to you.

Hope yall will Dance on the floor with me.

Lets get out there Arassuil and Lily Rose.

I think this is a grand new use of stereo and visuals.

Tis the mood I am in.

I hope yall enjoy...with me.

Might as well have fun.

Lets Pop a Top Again
and let another fool sit down.

I have been the fool who walked away. But at other times I just sat down.

I don't like that the commercials / ads precede my shares.

[Lily Rose]

Chaos has ensued and I have been absent longer than intended. This thread has been quite fun, so I am glad to be back.

Um...Rush and Dream Theater are my favorites when it comes to stereo.

And, now I am thinking of an old Metallica tune. I love the sitar during the intro.

Wherever I May Roam

More Rush:-)
This is off of Hold Your Fire. This album has been panned by many, but I think that it may be my favorite.
Time Stand Still

And more Dream Theater!
FT, I see that you had really enjoyed Metropolis part 1, from Images and Words. Now, here is a cut from Metropolis Part 2: Scenes From a Memory. The album is best listened to in its' entirety. I think that you would enjoy it. This is a more mellow tune.
The Spirit Carries On

[FrodoTook]

I have to say I've been enjoying time on the headphones since I first read this thread. I save the links to listen to when I have a chance. Lots of good music here!

I have been enjoying all your shares.

Kraftwerk, especially their early work. Here is Megahertz. It had the whole 2001 Space Odyssey thing going on!

That album IS new to me and yes..definitely a 2001 Space Odyssey thing going on. Awesome.

Keep on sharing yall. I will keep on listening.

[FrodoTook]

Chaos has ensued and I have been absent longer than intended. This thread has been quite fun, so I am glad to be back.

Grand to have you back Lily. I hope the chaos has subsided. Thank you too...for your shares. I am enjoying them...very much.

[Lily Rose]

It always makes me happy when music I share makes a difference in someone's life; It is the reason that I am still sane, despite my ridiculous life.

Dance Pop, eh? I can do that too, but being me, it must be unusual...
The Cruxshadows and Assemblage 23 come to mind. Both of these songs are kind of sad, but, at least in the former, the message is good.

This is probably my favorite of this genre
The Cruxshadows: Winterborn

and then, from Assemblage 23. It sounds like the story of my life.
Damaged

[Arassuil]

Dance... not much into Lopez, but I don't mind dancing with Debbie and her Heart of Glass

Thought I would throw a couple up from a highly under-rated band from the late 60’s/early 70’s…. Shocking Blue.
Probably best known for their hit ‘Venus’, many of their other tracks on their half-dozen albums are quite good!
Mighty Joe
Waterloo

They did a rather trippy song called Love Buzz which was later covered by Nirvana and was a track on their ‘Bleach’ album.

(Rest in Peace Mariska Veres)

[Dunthule]

I just bought my first stereo (with headphones ) when Styx released The Grand Illusion.

I think the song 'Castle Walls' will always be one of my favorites to listen to in stereo. Especially with headphones.

Great topic!!

[Lily Rose]

Now that you have mentioned STYX, I have to bring up this one:

Mr. Roboto

I was also thinking about Air Supply. I don't know if there are any stereo effects, but I love the harmony.

Making Love out of Nothing at all

[FrodoTook]

Hey yall. Been away for awhile and am so glad to see this thread still kicking.

Big welcome to my friend Dunny:)

Thank you for sharing Styx "Castle Walls". I am listening to it now as I type. I does indeed sound great...with my ear buds in. I love the thematic feel of the tune..a journey. The whole tune is stellar but I must say The end of the tune is a grand use of stereo. I love it..a lot.

I am considering...actually even more than that...I have decided to buy some comfortable noise canceling head phones...cause I have read that many of my friends prefer them.

Also many thanks to Arassuil and Lily Rose for their continued shares and joy. I am going to go back now and enjoy what you have shared recently.

Very cool.

I hope you enjoy...

American Woman

They are a Canadian Band and they spell out A M E R I C A N.

Please enjoy the stereo.

[FrodoTook]

I just found this and want to share it...

Cool stereo..to me.

Prometheus

[FrodoTook]

Listening to sheep can be enjoyable.

[FrodoTook]

I see lots of references to Pink Floyd. Have you ever been fearless?

Yes.

Thank you so much GoodSam. I do fondly remember Meddling while Obscured by clouds and loving our Atom Heart Mother.

I also saw Emily Play.

Grand for me, my friend, to relate.

Please...be careful with that axe.

Hey FT! Let us know what you think of the noise canceling headphones.
