One of my go-to tracks if I'm trying to assess an audio system, especially the speakers, speaker placement and the sound-stage. Grace Jones - Don't Cry, It's Only the Rhythm
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=abWFNDOM7iA
Trevor Horn doing some nice production work in 1985.
Other reference tracks for me, Robben Ford - Mystic Mile
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Row83ujjXkc
Even the YouTube links for these tracks are useful. Volume level for each track is not uniform though, adjust accordingly.
Steely Dan, Aja (from the album Aja) and Gaucho (from the album Gaucho)

And any track from Love Over Gold by Dire Straits (Mark Knopfler)

I didn't mention Chesky Records, a studio that uses the purest recording techniques with minimal studio production.

Great recordings, they really showcase your stereo. You can hear it, most of the production is pre-production, specifically room choice and mic choice and placement.
My favorite recording style, without all the studio isolation booths you can really hear some music.

Example, Mark Whitfield - Live and Uncut, Changes for Monk and Trane (live)

Now argue that that is not beautifully recorded.

Great tracks! One of my favourite GJ tracks was always Walking in the Rain https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ifhcWeXIOZs
Recently found out it's a cover of a slightly obscure Australian band Flash and the Pan (Vanda and Young songwriting legends in Australia), I like their version as well.

Robben Ford, live. He was in Miles Davis' band for a tour, I think. Anyway, an amazing guitarist...

I've posted it often, it's the definition of cool, and another great track to check your speakers with. Grace with Sly and Robbie, 1981.

One of my favorite trivia bits and track from that album (Nightclubbing) is Demolition Man, written by Sting. I guess he gave her the song and it was released on this album, and then The Police released it soon after on the album "Ghost In The Machine". There's no comparison, Grace's version blows Sting's away. It's not even close, Sly and Robbie and the rest of the band crush it.

I'm getting a Frank Zappa vibe from this. Sounds you've never heard before, played in a familiar style, which results in music that is uncomfortable to listen to. Nice post!

The first track is almost unbearably jazzy, sir. Lies!
Another for stereo testing, DJ Shadow - Ghost Town (2016)

Gorillaz with Beck - Valley of the Pagans (brand spanking new). It's familiar material, but they do do it well. Do do, I say!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QWAPZ7t1s6k
Zero 7 with Lou Stone - Outline (brand new, live). I was looking for Take My Hand from the studio album which I just heard on Spotify, but I can't find it on YouTube. Anyway, this video and track are pretty great.

Chet Faker - Low (brand spanking new)

Thanks for that one! They've got an interesting selection at the moment, mostly things I haven't heard before (apart from the Police with "Can't Stand Losing You". I've just heard Francoise Hardy with a song called "La Nuit Est Sur La Ville."

Prog-rock goes psychedelic. A new release, I think, Ozric Tentacles - Stripey Clouds

Break out your headphones, the mix on this is fantastic.
