Whenever I try a new pair of headphones, one of the first tracks I throw at it is Tomcraft's Silence. The CD version is superbly mastered with great dynamic range and clarity, not to mention it's a fantastic track. Rest in peace!

Loneliness was a catchy track I used to like on the radio growing up. That King of Rock remix is lovey, never heard. RIP.
