Music Made For Headphones

I would say early Yes I used to love to listen to their music with headphones on. Still do actually but back then it was awesome.

 

Lustmord sounds amazing on cans.

 

Heck, ALL of LZ II is made for Headphones....

And that is.... how I first heard my (RL) LZ II LP in October of 1969 ! !

It was Astounding !!!!

It works well on Loudspeakers too....

I mainly listen with headphones. Some of my favorites are-

While not made for headphone listening, I like them best that way.

 

Walk Between raindrops - The Nightfly by Donald Fagen

 

Beatles - Abbey Road, Side Two.

HUGE on headphones!

 

Do you listen to the CD or to an LP ?

I remember the LP sounding fantastic. I don't think the CD is close. How do you see it ??

 

APOSTROPHE by Frank Zappa - blew my 15 year old mind in 1981 and still sounds good through headphones, even without the bong hits.

 

Well, both for me. It's the whole experience of the production and performance, the ebb and flow of the music along with the stereo mix.

 

I can't find it in a search, but I recall a Suzanne Vega album was mixed with headphones instead of monitors.

 

a good bit of electronic dance music is mixed in headphones vs. on monitors.

 

"Honey Honey"-ABBA
"Sugar Sugar"-Archies
"(I Live In A) Split Level Head"-Napoleon XIV
