I’ll note that these tracks I posted require sub 30hz in room to get a true sense of their overall character. Well recorded and tasteful (imho), but deep reaching subs will extract the most.
My Druids are good, but I have to enact the RELs to get all the way down.
+1 to an Hans Zimmer soundtrack.
Also like Brian Eno’s Apollo album.

The Roy Haynes Trio - Sippin at Bells (John Pattitucci on upright - my favorite recorded jazz album)
Bela Fleck & The Flecktones - Live Art (both discs, particularly Amazing Grace) - Victor Wooten live
Radiohead - House of cards - haunting pulse
Marcus Miller - Live & more album - Funny - insane synth underneath 4 string fretted and 5 string fretless)
Cantate Domine - Candide Noel (crank it and feel the pipe organ)

My pleasure. The song Frontin' features a classic Piano trio. Here the listener hears a piano being player in Melodic and Percussive nature. This Trio really swings as well.
Happy Listening!

Sweetback is an English band composed of members from the band Sade, not including the frontwoman Sade Adu
If just one song Sweetback Arabesque
The whole album uses deep deep bass for its foundation. I just can't figure out if I want to turn the subwoofer up or down, in my mind it it must be too much but I like it.

If you want to test bass, Erykah Badu's first album, Baduizm, will shake the glazing panels out of the frames, with the right system of course... :). Now that is just big bass from a machine, but if you're looking for something more musical, then I think the Eagles and the live version of Hotel California. In that jam, there are congas, a deep kick drum and some other percussive stuff. I listened to a fellow audio nut's system that had these gigantic Soulutions amps, and Raidho floor standing towers that looked like they were taller than Yao Ming (slight exageration, but you know what I mean...). That was something to behold; wow, it was a drool worthy experience.

Yes interstellar is great.
Any of Hans Zimmer movie scores are excellent

Etta James Miss Pitiful
Bass that makes me want to move
|
Try this. Nuclear test Upshop Knowhold Test "Annie" at Atomcentral.com if still posted. Recorded at a distance of 5 miles
The crack of the shock wave is the suprise.
Real time modern audio, no comments. Shock wave will test your tweeters, then LF to about 4 Hz for the bass. Audio floor excursion is under 1/2 inch.
|
Ulf Lundell - Bartender
Maxwell - Gestation
Just anything with Maxwell or José James
|
Burford's Bop by Jimmy Thackery from the album Guitar.
|
"Way Down Deep" on "The Hunter" by Jennifer Warnes.
Also worth mentioning, since it's on the same album, there's a nice drum roll at the very beginning of "I Can't Hide." Both Vinnie Colaiuta and Tom Brechtlein are listed as drummers on that track.
|
Try Bosz Scaggs album Dig esspecialy the track Desire you know immidietly if your drivers an resonance of your speaker cabinet are fine or not.
Play loud enough.📢
|
I looked up something Fremer said showed off bass...it was utterly unlistenable synth crap. I prefer well recorded acoustic bass and drums or if actually testing (phase of subs or new speakers) I like my trusty Stereophile test CD.
|
For my ears, deepest recorded bass, acoustic, goes to TBM Artist tune by Isao Suzuki Quartet, from lp "Blow Up", Aqua Marine. His strings go so lo and resonant, makes my cheeks shake. The bowing is articulated through my Plinius system with detail and decay between the notes, not just thunder.
As for electric bass, well Marcus Miller does that well. But he would agree that one of his and my heroes is Richard Davis, age 91. He played on a disc you must get. Thad Jones/Mel Lewis Big Band called Consumation, track called Ahunk Ahunk. Best bass driving a big band ever, for my bucks. Careful to have your neck brace handy, you will severely snap yo haid! Good bass pumps but doesn't splat!
Have fun bass heads. Alejandro

The deepest bass I have heard in my system is Keiko Matsui - Dream Walk. I'm sure the neighbors felt it too.
|
Mannheim Steamroller[ Saving The Wild Life ] LP has plenty of low end which is tight and fast and on my Magnepan 20.1 no subs needed,plenty of low end power.
|
Jesse Cook "Beyond Borders" from the CD of the same name. I take no responsibility for damage incurred....diz.
|
Beck "paper tiger"
The Band "the weight"
The Beatles "come together"
Curtis Mayfield "New World Order"
|
|
Ray Briwn and Co. have a lot of great recordings on Verve, Pablo, and Telarc for those loving the upright bass.
telarc's 1812 Oveture and The Great Fantasy Adventure album have so material that goes down to single digit hz if your into floor rattling and vibrating living space.
|
Lot's for me to check out in these lists! I have two references I use when I change equipment around:
Trouble Man performed by Rickie Lee Jones (Very dynamic string bass)
Afterglow by Lydia Ainsworth (Big synth swoops into subwoofer range)
|
"Teen Town" by Weather Report, from Heavy Weather, Jaco Pastorious on electric Fender fretless.
|
Beflla Fleck and the Flecktones album Flight of the Cosmic Hippo track Flight of the Cosmic Hippo
Special EFX Global Village track 7 Global Village
|
I Like Jen Chapin’s hires album Revision on Chesky Records for bass reproduction.
|
|
Marion Herzog/Chris Jones: No Sanctuary Here. a bass demo tune used by many audio booths in the big shows
|
Shriekback's "The Sign." Pushes my VMPS speakers to the MAX!
|
1. Grace Jones LP Nightclubbing...Robbie Shakespeare bass, whole album is great. I use the last track "I've Done It Again"as a test track for bass
2. Celso Fonseca album Rive Gauche Rio ..Luiz Alves bass...Second track "Por Acaso Pela Tarde" great test of a well recorded acoustic bass.
|
Stanley Clarke, East River Drive is a good bass test CD
|

"A Child Is Coming" - Blows Against the Empire - Paul Kantner/Grace Slick/"Jefferson Starship" (really, The Planet Earth Rock and Roll Orchestra, or PERRO) - at about 1:27, Jack Casady’s bass becomes the lead, then the solo instrument.
"Laughing" - If I Could Only Remember My Name - David Crosby/PERRO - Phil Lesh on bass, all the way through.
Both albums were recorded at the same time in the same studio in San Francisco. PERRO is a group of musicians drawn from the Jefferson Airplane, The Grateful Dead, Quicksilver Messenger Service, CSNY, Santana, and including Laura Allan and Joni Mitchell.
