This one looks to cover most of the Ozzy years and is a remaster.

A 69 442 huh? Nice classic. Must have been like selling off your first born. I know the feeling. I just sold my Harley to help pay for the extras we are putting in our house. So if my wife starts complaining that I'm riding the quarts counter tops, everyone should know why.
The real problem were memorabilia collectors and theives. We could not take it anywhere without someone stealing a center cap or trim ring or even the numbers.
Well, if any counter top can take the weight of you or a Harley, it would be quartz counter top. We just installed ours and we love them. No sealing, invisible seam lines, non porous, and far less likely to break, crack, or fail when compared to traditional granite.
Priorities change but you may get your bike back some day. Good Luck and thanks for the suggestions.

I bet. Must have been a pain trying to make sure nothing vanished from it all the time.
That's what I've read about them. I hope they make wifey happy. It was a compromize though. She wanted a light color and I wanted dark (one of the counters would border my HT room). So she agreed to go with my color but only if we got quartz.
Maybe, time will tell. You are welcome. Enjoy.
But now I've gone and done it. Can't get Sweet Leaf to stop playing in the back of my mind. Sure hope the CD is in the car for the ride home. Da dant, da da da, na dah dant, da dant, da da da. :15:
Another good track for base is Rush's BY-TOR AND THE SNOW DOG from Fly By Night.
I. At the Tobes of Hades
The Tobes of Hades
Lit by flickering torchlight
The Netherworld is gathered in the glare
Prince By-Tor takes the cavern
To the north light
The sign of Eth is rising in the air
By-Tor, knight of darkness,
Centurion of evil
Devil's prince
II. Across the Styx
Across the River Styx
Out of the lamplight
His nemesis is waiting at the gate
The Snow Dog, ermine glowing
In the damp night
Coal-black eyes shimmering with hate
By-Tor and the Snow Dog
Square for battle
Let the fray begin
III. Of the Battle
Instrumental
IV. Epilogue
The battle's over
And the dust is clearing
Disciples of the Snow Dog sound the knell
Rejoicing echoes
As the dawn is nearing
By-Tor in defeat
Retreats to Hell
Snow Dog is victorious
The land of the Overworld
Is saved again

Not to be vague, but your best bets are going to be most rap, hip-hop, and smooth jazz believe it or not, most specifically from the past 10 years or so. For Jazz, I would highly recommend music from the rippingtons. I find a lot of jazz, especially by them, to be very bass heavy.
-
Rap and Hip Hop are certainly bass-heavy, but not necessarily a good gauge because it's typically just a thumping bass that is around one low frequency, whereas some of the titles that I mentioned actually have various frequencies and dynamics.
-
bass music
How about Fisherspooner's latest one...http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...110324?ie=UTF8
I actually like this cd - usually I stay away from this kind of music:)
-
You may want to go with trip-hop, which is also very bassy music, however most of it is not extremely low bass. I would call it mid-bass/bass. You should try Portishead's "dummy" album, which is I like very much. It has prolonged bass notes, which are melodious.
Hip-hop is also always a good bet, as previously stated. Especially if you're looking for for hard hitting stuff.
-
I'm surprised no one has mentioned Massive Attack. Their Mezzanine cd is quite a workout.
But like many posters have said, most hip hop is bass heavy only in depth but not in width. To really give a full-range speaker (and a pair of subs if you have 'em) a good workout is to play music where part of the melody is in the bass. Bach's Fugue in D is always fun (and popular enough to be played in a lowrider w/o being laughed out of the parking lot). Some other good organ music can be had from Franck & Dupre.
Another nice bassy piece is the second movement of "The Pines of Rome" by Respighi, about 3 minutes into the track - you can tell your fellow bass-heads it's the soundtrack to the Gladiator (not really, but they probably won't know that). If your system can play this without breaking up and the volume set at 12 noon, then you've got some solid speakers. I also think Philip Glass (of Candyman fame), has some impressive bass-heavy compositions.
And if you're looking for some more suggestions, SVS (the subwoofer guys) have some great suggestions on their website:

Going to have to agree with Rippingtons for sure. I didn't mention them in my earlier post but they came to mind along with many GRP disks. I have almost every Rippingtons cd but Sahara has a few way down deep bass tracks. Kim Stone likes to play at the lower end of the spectrum. I have seen them 4 times but not in the last 4 years or so.
I noticed your Dynaudio logo in your post. I have the 82s and love them. Which model do you have?

Saw your reference to Rippingtons. Checked my library and found I have four of their CD's
Welcome To The St. James Club
Black Diamond
Life In The Tropics
Let It Rip
I've never really listened to them for one reason or another. Which would you recommend I give a serious listen to first?:idea:
-
hi joe
i know your message isnt to me but although i have rippingtons, i find that its too contemp for me. i have seen steve reid live and that was much better than listening to their CDs. i find real jazz to be more interesting and rewarding than contemporary stuff.

Hi tr;
I feel much the same way about Rippingtons. I'm just willing to give them a chance seeing as I've got four of their CD's. For those who like electric/fusion give John McLaughlin, The Promise a shot. I would place it in the "real jazz' category.:cool:
-
If I can make one more plug for classical music. I'm listening to Respighi's Pines of Rome. About 1.5 minutes into the second movement, the music was extremely low, so I turned the volume way up. The music brings up images of the Roman Army marching down the Apian way at the height of Roman power. Very dramatic - makes the Gladiator soundtrack sound mild by comparison. Anyhow, it certainly gave gave my sub a good workout.
-
The entire Too short cd - life is Too short.
early pink floyd....

More material for your sub that will shake the house
Reviving an old thread as I have some new ideas:
Survival of the fittest by Mobb Deep.
Late night tip by Three Six Mafia - v. nice bass line, love it.
Light by Benassi Bros. - The beginning is the best, at 0:08;) it's simply insane.
Under the Influence by The Chemical Bros. - love the descending opening sweep.
Bass, I love you by Bassotronics - this one will show some serious excursion, if your sub's in a ported box and has no subsonic filter, you'll know what i'm talking about:cornut:
Bass Anthem by Bass Patrol - again a very good one.
Woofer cooker by Bass Hit - I doubt this one will 'cook' or fry your sub anymore than the others but a very good one aswell.
The last two I have only heard on youtube, but you can find them on the net. Don't forget about your mains if you're going to put your sub(s) to the test, they may be more sensitive to the hostile bass:yikes:
-
I'm going to admit, I haven't read any of the previous posts to this point, but if you're looking for Bass, and interesting use there of...... The Movie "Pi" check out the soundtrack for that........ that was always "fun bass" back in the day!

nice revival :)
maybe we should continue this thread :)
things that come to mind:
shoshtakovich - symphony n° 4 (the release I have), very very deep bass in this, exellent piece of classical music too
Stravinksy - The firebird, played this last night, was impressed
then,
Trentemoller - The last resort, fantastic album, those who like dark electronical music, this is it :)
Orlando Cachaito Lopez (he only has one album, named after himself), he plays the double bass, and it goes deep
(massive attack - mezzanine, but it's already mentioned)
and the CD recording of Pink Floyd - DSOTM, got some deep bass out there too
Keep them spinning,
Bert.

Thanks, I remembered about this forum not too long ago and figured I had stuff to add.
Hopefully some of you bassheads (or not) will take advantage of it.
I'll be checking out the classical and that movie:D
-
Here's another one: Hypnotize by Young Jeezy
-
Not for everyone but check out Bela Fleck & The Flecktones - Flight Of The Cosmic Hippo on a lossless format if possible.
-
I'm not saying the ones I mentioned are for everyone, but they are the best in bass:) And that's what we're after here
-
I'm happy to make available any of these songs to anyone (decent quality) minus Bass anthem & Hypnotize:)
