steve Posted August 29, 2001 Share Posted August 29, 2001 Fiona Apple's "Sleep to Dream" has absolutely the most bass I have heard on my system. Fleetwood Mac's "I'm So Afraid" from their "The Dance" runs a close 2nd. This is from almost a collection of 1800 CDs. Run KHorns, Adcom GCD750, Adcom GFP565 preamp, Assemblage SET tube amp, and a Carver MKII subwoofer. The others listed (that I have heard) are great choices!

steve Posted August 29, 2001 Share Posted August 29, 2001 "Sleep to Dream" from Fiona Apple's first CD has absolutely the most bass I have heard..I have to kick the subwoof off when I play this! Fleetwood Mac's "I'm So Afraid" from "The Dance" has a lot of bass also! I run KHorns, an Adcom GCD750 CD player, Adcom GFP565 preamp, Assemblage SET tube amp, and a Carver MKII subwoofer.

Tillerman Posted August 29, 2001 Author Share Posted August 29, 2001 Here is a link to check out if you are looking for bass music and other information: http://www.contrabass.com/pages/frequency.html I had to believe that there is more than the pipe organ and synths for really low bass music.

RossVTaylor Posted August 29, 2001 Share Posted August 29, 2001 And, to add one more... Although I wouldn't buy the disc again, I appreciate the "different" nature of the Blueman Group's music. It's certainly not something I'd sit down to listen to more than a couple of times, but on track 9 there is an incredible low bass note that'll get your pantlegs shaking. It's very impressive.

cc1091 Posted August 29, 2001 Share Posted August 29, 2001 Another vote for Joe Satriani here. A different album though. His first Album (that I am aware of): "Flying in a Blue Dream" First track, same name as the album. Bass line mixes in some extremely deep bass notes. It is my favorite track for testing low end response of speakers. There are three notes that are a part of the bass line and regularly repeat. If you can't hear them, then the bass response of the speakers doesn't extend to below 30 hz (I hear them fine with a speaker rated for a low end of 27 hz). Be sure to get the digitally remastered CD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lynnm Posted February 25, 2002 Share Posted February 25, 2002 The Celtic Album - Keith Lockhart and The Boston Pops -Cut 4 - The Theme from Braveheart. Trust me THIS IS NOT YOUR DADDY'S BOSTON POPS!! In fact I recommend that you stay near your amp as there exists a possibility that your amp and room cannot handle the bass notes and you will find yourself rearranging your speakers in order to accomodate this recording. The good news is that - having adjusted my speaker placement,(for the umpteenth time),my system has gone from great to BREATHTAKING. ------------------ It is meet to recall that the Great Green Heron rarely flies upside down in the moonlight - (Foo Ling ca.1900) This message has been edited by lynnm on 02-25-2002 at 09:07 PM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Youbotwhat! Posted February 28, 2002 Share Posted February 28, 2002 Try Earth, Wind, and Fire. They tend to use a lot of horns and bass in their music. Play "Let's Groove" if you want to piss off the neighbors and make the cat run for cover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voodoo chile Posted February 28, 2002 Share Posted February 28, 2002 I like Kruder and Dorfmeister, some European guys that mix up some great Trip Hop techno. Like a mello version of the Chmical Brothers. I like the Tool stuff too!! V Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boa12 Posted February 28, 2002 Share Posted February 28, 2002 also check out Yes Live at the House of Blues. some real low stuff there from the synthesizer. though it's somewhat funky at times. though it's actually a music/concert dvd. ------------------ My Home Systems Page This message has been edited by boa12 on 02-28-2002 at 08:01 PM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike stehr Posted February 28, 2002 Share Posted February 28, 2002 What would be good pipe organ material for the one song that Tchaikowfsky(Yikes!) did. The one that is the theme for 'phantom of the Opera' I am interested in finding good pipe organ material. THANX! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheEAR Posted February 28, 2002 Share Posted February 28, 2002 Not bad,not bad. Any under Telarc label with a bass warning in the CD cover should give you great subs bass. Pomps & Pipes label Reference Recorings,track four has some 16Hz wall shaking,sub busting sub bass.Its quiet at first and then the cone flies back and forth.No sub will like this one. Enya,good sub bass and in general good bass.Great choice Anything Chemical Brothers,Prodigy and company.I have loads of electronica with ultra low bass. Herbie Hancock's Dis Is Da Drum,the first tracks will set the cone(s) in heavy duty action.Plenty of low bass,with this CD I can do demolotion work.Some tracks have boomy bass,others the bass is deep and hits hard.

Thoriated_Tiger Posted March 1, 2002 Share Posted March 1, 2002 Magic! That's a CD recorded last summer at the Wanamaker Concert Organ in Philly's Lord and Taylor. 32' SubPrincipal and Contra Diaphone. (16hz) 64' (resultant) Gravissima. (8 hz harmonic) 'nuff said It's on the Dorian label. The sense of ambiance is incredible.

chuckears Posted March 1, 2002 Share Posted March 1, 2002 The soundtrack from "American Beauty" (the score, not the collection of pop songs from the film) has some of the most gut-wrenching bass I have heard; it is also one of my favorite film soundtracks of all time. The thumping drum in the last cut on REM's Out of Time (I think the song is "Me In Honey"), while not being the lowest bass I have heard, is nonetheless one of the most revelatory tracks I heard after hooking up my sub... ------------------ Klipsch Fortes, Oiled Oak Klipsch KLF-C7 Center Channel McCormack DNA-1 Power Amp McCormack TLC Pre-Amp Sony 5-disc changer NHT SA3 Subwoofer Amp Hsu TN1220 Subwoofer Old Akai cassette Deck Akai AAR22 used as tuner Nordost Solar Wind interconnects Kimber 4TC Speaker Cable (Future upgrades to include): Klipsch RS-3 Surrounds Outlaw 1050 AV Receiver This message has been edited by chuckears on 03-01-2002 at 08:58 PM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
