David Bowie Little Wonder should do it if not Elton John Funeral for a Friend. If these two dont wake up your Woofers they may be DOA.
I wonder what music Sir Elton had at his wedding?

I use this disc anytime I setup a sub...not the type of music you asked for but worth owning even if only for it's deep bass as a test cd, although I do like the music on this cd because it's fun! (Archetype: original pattern or model; a (collective) unconscious pattern of thought. Tribe: group, family, community. Archetribe: an instrumental project that blends numerous universal world-beat/ambient elements to produce an accessible fusion of sounds & influences) Pick it up here if you want: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00005UCBK/002-4518496-2515206?v=glance&n=5174&s=music&v=glance Dave |
I'm afraid this is not a truly practical recommendation, because it's hard to find, but for the desirable combination of speed and bass energy I like to use "Le temps passé" from Michel Jonasz' "La Fabuleuse Histoire de Mister Swing" (WEA). This track gives you a chance to check rhythm with the lows while there's not much else going on. For the really low bass, of course, no bass guitar track is adequate. I think you have to go with organ music for that, perhaps the Saint-Saens organ symphony. |
Get the Burmester, Audiosysteme Vorfuhrungs-CD III. Cut 10 is "Poem of Chinese Drums", by Yim Hok-Man. This very unusual 10 min. piece features multiple large drums playing in unison. The strikes are so sudden, and the impact so high, it is startling. Your entire room will shake. Then the drums echo back into stillness, while you hear them continue to reverberate. I have never heard any sub capable of responding as fast and sounding so real as the V5A on this piece. |
Check out the thread here on organ recordings with really deep bass. Nothing has deeper bass than a large pipe organ: a 16-foot pedal pipe produces a fundamental of 32 Hz, and a 32-foot pedal pipe produces a fundamental of 16 Hz. These babies are difficult to record, but fortunately there are some recordings that capture this prodigious bottom end and will truly shake your floor and rattle your windows. |
