Greetings to all from Darjeeling
This thread is being commenced to share views on Benchmark albums and numbers for auditioning hi fi equipment.
The only criterion is that a suggested album or number must be sonically outstanding enough to gauge the potential and capability of the equipment being auditioned.
Genre of music or language of vocals is of no consequence.
(rock, jazz, blues, reggae, indian classical{hindustani/carnatic/fusion}, western classical, folk, qawwali, vocal, instrumental, even test/demo cds)
Members are requested to avoid suggesting movie music
except movie theme soundtracks
(like the titanic theme or Mission impossible by U2 or The good, bad and ugly theme are ok as also movie soundtracks like saturday night fever, grease, flashdance or even hum kisi se kum nahin are all ok)
However, if a member feels that a certain movie song or album makes the grade, please feel free to suggest and justify, which in any case all members are requested to do anyway with a small write-up in support of their suggestion(s).
Requesting all members to contribute. . . .
Warm Regards & Best Wishes
