    Olive
    "Extra Virgin"

    "Falling" was used for a subwoofer shootout a few months ago.

    The CD is one of the best I own for other reasons also.
    Most people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them.

    No you want to get the SACD.It is hybrid so it will play on a standard cd player if you do not have sacd capabilities.Great tight bass.

    It is song #6 on that awsome CD for 3.00+ that you found. GET IT! listen to song 4 and 5 for something AMAZING.;-)

    Here you go and everybody else should give this a listen too. I've turned 100'ds on to this by demoing my speakers when selling them.
    It's worth the 13.00 amazon is charging...Believe me!!

    I kinda like that DARK rythmic overtone without grunge type screaming. Pretty cool stuff with a female singer at times also.

    This is a country band but more modern, almost folk. But a very well recorded CD.

    I like to crank up the drum solo tracks off the Sheffield Labs Drum album.

    A really good bassy tune I find is by Bass Mekaniks - Low Roads, that song is awesome to crank up.

    Or if you want retarded low that CAN bottom out, Basstronics - Bass, I love you

    Madonna's American Life and No Doubt's Girls Get The Boys In The Back (remix of Hey Baby found on No Doubt The Singles CD) are my two go to tunes for true torture of system bottom end. They really show off a systems low frequencies. WARNING... turn the bass down if you can adjust. These songs can toast drivers.

    Blue Man Group "Audio" (CD).

    Only one track on the album, but the song Way Down Deep on Jennifer Warnes' album The Hunter is great for diagnosing loose screws on one's loudspeakers (or pretty much anything else loose in the house).


    EDIT: Oh, and of course, any good recording of Copeland's "Fanfare for the Common Man"; quintessential "boom-boom" music. There's nice (early) Telarc digital recording - which I have on a cheapie Telarc CD sampler from years back - and a fine sounding analog version on the Direct to Disk (the vinyl kind) album Sonic Fireworks, Vol. 1 on Crystal Clear, from those Wild and Crazy Seventies.

    the hsu forum has a thread on great bass tracks to work out the sub. Same with svs that highlights both music and movies that give a heck of a workout... For a different vibe, Saint Saens (classical) the pipe organ goes unbelievably low if you have a good setup.

    Gotta be a dozen threads on this topic, but looks like some new contenders here...

    There are a lot of CD's with a track here or there that'll dust the rafters for you, but I know of none that matches Portishead - Dummy from start to finish.
    More later,
