With the resurgent discussion of PRaT on the forum, I thought it would be fun to share those recordings that we feel really shows this capability on our Naim equipment and gets that foot tapping...
As many have streaming services and / or sizeable music collections we should be able to sample the recommendations.
"Nice emotional rhythmic drive in a traditional English folk style sung in a contemporary way"
Sounds like a Recipe for success.

TOBYJUG, this is the album, it's fantastic... The lyrics really resonate with me having grown up and brought up my own family in modern rural England.. And great music and PRaT... from the cover I guess you can see what sort of social commentary is being sung about

Aphex Twin / Windowlicker and produk29. electro rhythms and timings to slightly catch you out... If you have flabby speakers or bassy room resonances don't bother trying to listen.

Faith (As Rain). The Detroit Escalator Co.
Shades of John Cale under the influence of something sad and robotic. This will sound good on an AM radio, but more temporal resolution = more magic.

"Ivo" would be my first choice but a great album altogether.

Listening to Wolfganf Voigt.. I trawled through some other jazzy/techno, and tracks by Air Liquide and 4-E are worth listening to

I much prefer the live version on the Time Machine (Live) album rather than the studio version - I find the latter a little dead - perhaps its me??
