Tbirdman...............Dream Theater really IS an awsome group. The album you were talking about is called Images and Words. I am very lucky to still own the original CD I bought when it came out. I too use the CD to test a systems limits and sound qualities. Every song on the album at one time or another test every parameter a system is designed to have. Crisp clean highs , good solid mids , thumping mid bass , and low low hard BASS. Channel seperation and overall ambience. Just an incredibly well recorded album with lots of good head bangin tunes. Oh yeah.......Im a throw back head banger from the 80s.

I like Norah Jones first CD and Extreme's Three Sides to Every Story. Both have good dynamics and a wide range of instruments that test your system pretty well. I also like the Counting Crow's August and Everything After CD.

Have you heard their second album, Awake? The opening track has a very nice drum intro that would be good to test with. Some of the other tracks also have some directional sounds that would be useful. Not to mention that the album as a whole is really good. Anyone interested, give it a try.

Hey, if your going to talk throwback, don't forget Holly Cole's version of "I can see clearly". I have been using the new Matchbox 20 ep for demos as well. It doesn't have a lot of percussion, but it has some good acoustic tracks, and when younger people are here with their parents it is something they can all listen to and identify with. It does a great job teaching kids about listening for imaging and staging as well.

My all time favorite "demo" CD was Spyro Gyra Three Wishes.  They are contempary Jazz.

The disc was DDD.  Extremely tight bass, but never too heavy or overdone. 

A very wide variety of different instruments, a very tight and killer album. 

Also, if you like  "new age"  stuff any of the Hearts of Space samplers CD. 

Real High Fidelity........
or forget it.
