I bought Cosmic Hippo on CD last year to finally hear it and see if I wanted to splurge on an OP on vinyl. It sounded very promising and I need to listen again. I never made a decision.
I remember War "Greatest Hits" to be a very good sounding lp.
|
Sitting hear listening to "Pontiac" Lyle Lovett on Curb Records/vinyl. 1987 digital recording that sounds wonderful, bass is very good and natural.
|
I also agree with Bela Flec- Flight of the Cosmic Hippo and add Justice vs. Simian"s "We Are Your Friends"
|
The Stranglers “ Nice ‘n’ Sleazy” from their Black and White LP
|
Two songs that come to mind:
1. BTO Not Fragile and
2. Lucinda Williams Live- the song, "Essence." That song sounds like it is subterranean.
ozzy
|
Lou Reed’s “Walk on the Wild Side” with it’s distinctive bass line.
|
|
Richard Thompson "Old Kit Bag"
|
Try this:
|
2nd option;
Rolling Stones - Hot Rocks1 CD or SACD. |
Easily my reference disc since 2004;
Jamie Cullum - twentysomething CD or SACD. |
Dead Can Dance - Into the Labyrinth |
Well well well by john lennon. Sounds likes this recording could collapse
my rear wall. Clean, tight and dynamic. |
|
James Blake's Limit to Your Love--- the amount of bass is stupid |
Apparently the teens are listening DJ Billy-E these days. Much fun for a bass test. |
Eberhard Weber "Pendulum" recording on ECM has nine excellent solo bass pieces using a double bass... |
Metallica - And Justice For All |
Walking jazz basslines...count basis...basis jam... John Lennon dbl fantasy |
Humble Pie Smokin'. "30 Days in the hole"
The regular CD is pretty good, and the SHM CD is even better. |
|
The genie talking on AMUSED TO DEATH SIDE 3!
(Caution---woofer blower) |
"I'm the Greatest" on "Ringo" by Ringo! Klaus Voormann will really surprise you. Full deep sound. Fun recording to listen to. |
Jennifer Warnes "The Hunter" |
One a little more hard to find is Peter Gabriel "Soft Dog" on the 45rpm Charisma 12" pressing. |
One album with cavernous and deep bass is the Mad Season album "Above". The opening few notes of the first track sort the men from the boys when it comes to what your system can reproduce. |
"Raising Sand" @ "Icky Thump" on vinyl. Neither are perfect but if your system can make sense of it, you're doing something right. |
Haven't noticed any mention of Jimmy Smith. Prayer Meeting is a great track and - played sufficiently loud - it will relocate furniture in your listening room. |
|
High Kings. The have a Timpanist that plays on several tracks. Have to like the genre though.
Also maybe Welcome to the Machine by Pink Floyd. That should rattle the your eardrums. |
"Hello Jeff" on Journey to Love by Stanley Clarke. Will sound like whale farts if your system doesn't have low end extension and articulation. Slammin' tune though when all is well. |

Love it.
99.9% of the people on this forum won't know who they are. |
Jamie Cullum- twentysomething CD/SACD. |
Try Dead Can Dance "Into the Labyrinth" on the original 4AD LP or CD. |
|
A guy I know has dual Eminent Technology Thigpen Rotary subwoofers.......he asked for a bass disc suggestion, and I turned him on to the disc I mentioned above... "Archetribe / Earthtones"
A couple of years later, he's still in love with the Disc!

Agree with "Morph The Cat" although the bass is completely out of balance and unnatural.
A poorly engineered recording.
Surprised that a stickler like Fagan would approve it. |
"Flight of the Cosmic Hippo" Bela Fleck, I imagine is from the Fleck Tones which would feature Victor Wooten on Bass. I suggest any of Vic's own stuff. "Yin-Yang" is an excellent well rounded double album. He does an incredible version of Coltrane's Niama on his album "What Did He Say". I am a BIG fan and have his Fodera Bass. |
