Music rediscovery

I just had one of those rare musical moments where you are listening to a song that you love, and hear something in it that you never heard, or thought you never heard before, and in future listenings, the song in question is always heard with that newly discovered element.

So for example, you are listening to a light jazz latin track, as was the case for me, and you hear a muted cowbell providing cross rhythm underneeth the solo vocals. The muted cowbell in question starts off the track, but in this particular part, I never remember hearing, or more to the point, paying attention to the underlying cowbell rhythm, as it seems that my attention has previously been focused elsewhere, either on lyrics or drum part.

Its moments like this that I always relish when listening to music. And to cap it all off, this was with a pair of your average 2.1 computer speakers. Now I know I will always hear that cowbell part, even in my good pair of headphones, or on a good sound system.
