Best Bass Demo Albums or Tracks

[BruceD]

Thanks guys, I have a few of the recommendations.
Now What about heavy percussive tracks? Well recorded and explosive kick and Asian drum albums?
Now looking for a combination of epic -40hz bass combined with ultra fast rise times.

Well as I mentioned previous post--try some Kodo

Lets not forget Primus too.. My Name is Mud from the 1993 CD Pork Soda is awesome. As is Victor Wooten's Show of Hands..

Hey guys, trying to speed up the break-in on my new speaks. Can anyone recommend a good album or tracks that can give my woofers a good workout?

Kerry, a few that come to mind include:

- The recently released A Star is Born soundtrack.
- Stanley Clarke - Live
- Steely Dan - Two Against Nature
- Herb Alpert - Colors. But only if you want your woofers fully broken in at 45 min flat. Be warned, at louder listening volumes some speakers may not survive.

Which cut on Colors John?

 

[stehno]

I think all 10 tracks except "Think About It".

Oh, and Bela Fleck's Greatest Hits with a pretty awesome 5-string bass is pretty good.

Noisia -- Split The Atom

The title track is a bass tour de force, and the whole album will test your entire system.

Another track that has bass that fills the room and carries the song along in a very trippy way:

L$D by A$AP Rocky



Enjoy!

One that hasn't been mentioned -- Mari Boine "Eallin". Try out track 7. about 30 sec in the bass hits. This album was recorded live. I love the music and the sound. She does not sing in English if that causes issues for anyone. The other tracks on this album are also nice. I think it is track 5 she plays a wooden pan flute. If you system is bright or edgy you will skip this track quickly.

A couple of years ago I took this CD to RMAF. I went in the WIlson sales pitch room (Many of you may recall this system was the new Alexx powered by 4 D'Agostino momentum 400's). After the pitch I walked up to the guys chatting at the DCS stack and asked if they would play this CD. After giving me a look of disdain they reluctantly agreed. After the big bass hit about 30 sec in the guy came up to me and asked "what CD is that?!". Later on in the show I went to the Raidho room. Again I asked the guy curating the music if he would play this CD. He was extremely enthusiastic -- "Yes, yes, yes. This is a top 10 album. We must play it." Story of two rooms. One trying to sell gear by telling you how great it is and the other by showing you by letting you listen to great music.

Thanks for the recommendation. Just listened on Tidal and love the music.

Thanks for this, I had no idea of his more recent Music, this is a bass extravaganza!

This made me investigate his other stuff and found this, not bass heavy but wow what a jam!

Flight of the Cosmic Hippo

But not via YouTube--get hold of the original track--cool baseline

IMHO

Especially the title cut.
