Recordings with BASS

For setting up subs REL recommends the sound track from "Sneakers". I have it and it is quite good for both bass and musical content.

This is incredible for bass-testing or simply listening:

Artist: Anouar Brahen.
Recording: The Astounding Eyes of Rita.

Anouar plays the oud; Klaus Gesing,bass clarinet; Björn Meyer, bass; Khaled Yassine, drums of various tpes. I stumbled across this via YouTube. Track #5 was playing in the background of a Rega turntable "ad". Thought it was just beautiful, sent a note to the audio shop. Best music/musician discovery in a long time for me.

Paula Cole, 1st song on This Fire album "Tiger".
Soundtrack from the first Pirates of the Carribean movie.
Better tack down mammas antiques when these two play. They both also hit both ends of the sonic spectrum and will put your system to the test.
Have fun, John

Every single one of Anouar Brahem's 8 albums is a gem in its own right. If you like the Arab drum I also suggest you check our the album Nafas by Rabih Abou-Khalil.
