I once heard a plane!

...true story.

I still marvel at the sound of that crazy silencer equipped shotgun Bardem's character had in No Country for Old Men. There were some scenes where the air in the theater vibrated quite significantly whenever he used it.

The Halle Orchestra in Manchester when I was 8 years old. School day out thingy. Wonderful memory!

The synth sound used in She Sheila by the Producers. Everytime I hear it I am catapulted back to 1982. Riding in my 71 VW convertible with my Sony Walkman.

Geez, I'm old

Mark Deutsch's Bazantar tickles a part of my soul that I hadn't even known existed 'til I heard him.

Too many Brian Eno moments to mention, but here's a start: THAT sound from "Sky Saw", the synth on "An Ending (Ascent)", everything on "Spider and I", those 29-odd pianos on "Some Faraway Beach"...

Jaco Pastorius' glorious bass harmonics on "Portrait of Tracy".

John Coltrane's searching, soulful tone on anything & everything he ever played.

The wordless vocal on Duke Ellington's "Transblucency (A blue fog which you can almost see through)"

The voices of Nina Simone, Billie Holiday, Howlin' Wolf, Tom Waits...

The sound of a wooden matchstick igniting as I prepare to burn another one.

Without a doubt the coolest sound I have ever heard was the sound of a large hammer drill putting a deep hole in the ground next to the freeway. The hammer drill was about 30 feet tall and was pounding a steel pipe into the ground.
The kicker was that I was doing about 80 miles per hour in my gmc typhoon and I was passing the drill as it came down with a large metalic sounding klang. So there was a doppler shift to the sound causing it to stretch in a way, accept I was moving so the doppler was not usual at all and it was very etherial.

The singer from Mazzy Star, Tool live, Faith no More live, The bass on Children Of The Grave by Black Sabbath, the bass on Bonkers by Dizzee Rascal and a Stradivarius violin.

Children's laughter. Best sound ever.

Even better when it's my own kids.

What's the best sound you ever heard?
