the b-side to this is one of the greatest tracks ever, imho. infact any todd/martinelli production from the 80s can really show off a good bit of kit.

I have Queens Greatest Hits 1 on DVD and when you crank up Another One Bites The Dust loud it sounds amazing!!

Any track from Queen`s A Night At The Opera in sweet DTS - Seaside Rendevouz always makes me chuckle and has a fantastic surround mix.

I often use "Happiness Is Easy" on Talk Talk`s The Colour Of Spring album.
Lots of treble detail in the percussion, and some low-end fretless bass, but overall very uncluttered and easy to pick out individual instruments.

Yes agree there its a great track, very open percussion and the bass sound is superb.

I usually use a DTS CD, such as Sting`s Brand New Day, to really show off.

Enigma - Principles of Lust - Sadeness (I like the bass response in that - test car stereos on this basis, dont know how it would do on hi-fis)
