Your 3 favorite serious low end recordings


I have recently been truly enjoying the magnificent tastes in this vast group of enthusiasts. The 'AGON RECORDINGS TO DIE FOR LIST, or favorite... whatever.... listings. I thought I would add yet another. I own a setup which includes Reimer Tetons for the fronts which go as far down as 14 Hz! I am always looking to push their abilities and have trouble finding many recordings that can get down to the 'basement' frequencies and blow my mind. I would love to build a little reference list of your favorites for all of us to check out. Of course, take into account musicianship as that appears to be important to most of us. It can be in any format you wish - Vinyl (even though I am not set up for it...), DVD-A, SACD, redbook, etc. and any style you like as well. So - for my 3 choices to get this going (hopefully....) I submit for your listening pleasure:

Mino Cinelu - self titled (redbook) I have never heard a redbook disc with such incredible low end - world music - really a terrific disc!!

Jean Guillou, organist; Mussorgsky, Pictures at an Exhibition, Stravinsky, 3 Dances from Petrouchka; Dorian CD DOR-90117 (redbook) - The 32 foot pipe on this recording is really something to behold - I am not usually the biggest fan of this type of music. However, I find this disc to really be excellent and not the total typical 'organ' type disc.

Grateful Dead - 6-85 - Hershey Park, Pa. - uncompressed soundboard recording - 'drums' section. This is the kind of recording that you would have to get through a trading circle (or from me for that matter...) Rarely do I hear a recording that 'feels' like it felt to be at the show during the drum break. Anyone who has heard this has been pretty blown away by it.

Even though I did not mention any DVD-A or SACD recordings I sure have a few. Hey - I DID say only 3 - got to stick to my own rules, right?!...

So.... what do you think?......

For organ music, which can, depending on the instrument and the organist, have the deepest bass of all instruments, check the thread Organ CDs with really deep bass.

Moby - "Play"
Flaming Lips - "Soft Bulletin"
Soundtrack to "Thin Red Line"

....and I've got Hz envy.....
Shawn Colvin, "A Few Small Repairs".
Airto, "Promises of the Sun".
Last, but not least, when the late Jaco Pastorius slamms his completely detuned E string on Joni Mitchell's "Cotton Avenue" from her album "Don Juan's Reckless Daughter" all time stands still.
The Chemerani Trio "Qalam Kar" - Persian percussion trio (father and sons I believe). Not only will it exercise the low end, but it'll throw a soundstage that'll give you whiplash.

What about The Crystal Method, Vegas and Legion of Boom... that super low bass only electronic music can give...

Also Progigy The fat of the Land (Smack my Bitch up will blow your speakers if you do't know the song... watch out for the start of this one!
