    Bloody hell, it's hard to suggest only 3 but I really have a soft spot for the Dave Brubeck number.

    That's why I thought a poll would be a good idea.

    I've voted but I think I should point out that 'Tom Jones' and 'Torture track' amount to the same thing.

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

    You don't really want something with super lush production for a test though. That's the easiest stuff to do well, that and anything with a very simple mix.

    You want something where they've used all 48 tracks and run it through a shitload of processing. If it can unravel that, it's a good-un.
