Music out there with good bass

Donald Fagen's new album Morph the cat has awesome bass.

Try;
Herbie Hancock/Headhunters (the remastered CD version)

If you like "metal" and seek "pounding double bass" kick drums, check out Master's "Faith is in Season".

If you want to see just how much bottom end extension and output your speakers really have, check out Ayre Acoustics "irrational but efficacious" test disc. Starts off at 5 Hz and climbs from there using the "Cardas sweep tone". This disc CAN damage your woofers, tweeters and wallet, so proceed with caution. Sean

I will second the Maxwell "Embrya" album's bass. It opens with one of the most seductive bass lines (and song)and just rolls along from there and from the start you know it's going to be smooth sailing. It's a good album, mostly mid-tempo cuts with a few really choice tracks on it and the gent can sing, my wife LOVES him. If you want to feel a little younger and cooler than you are, put this album on in the background one evening and if your wife doesn't come closer then there's no help for you. I hate to even compare but I think he's like the younger generations Marvin Gaye and Marvin gaye is as good as it gets IMO.

BTW, this gentle did a version of Kate Bush's "A Womans Work" that put my jaw on the floor and my wife in the mood, YMMV.

if you like acoustic jazz upright bass

Brian Bromberg - wood and wood II - such technique
Paul Chambers - bass on top
Lafaro with Bill Evans Quartet
Niels Henning Ormsted Peterson - any of his work with Oscar Peterson Trio or solo
