Recordings with BASS

Eberhard Weber "Pendulum" recording on ECM has nine excellent solo bass pieces using a double bass...

Apparently the teens are listening DJ Billy-E these days. Much fun for a bass test.

James Blake's Limit to Your Love--- the amount of bass is stupid

Well well well by john lennon. Sounds likes this recording could collapse
my rear wall. Clean, tight and dynamic.

Dead Can Dance - Into the Labyrinth

Easily my reference disc since 2004;
Jamie Cullum - twentysomething CD or SACD.

2nd option;

Rolling Stones - Hot Rocks1 CD or SACD.

Try this:

 

Richard Thompson "Old Kit Bag"

Pink Floyd

Lou Reed’s “Walk on the Wild Side” with it’s distinctive bass line.

Two songs that come to mind:

1. BTO Not Fragile and

2. Lucinda Williams Live- the song, "Essence." That song sounds like it is subterranean.

ozzy

The Stranglers “ Nice ‘n’ Sleazy” from their  Black and White LP 

I also agree with Bela Flec- Flight of the Cosmic Hippo and add Justice vs. Simian"s "We Are Your Friends"

Sitting hear listening to "Pontiac" Lyle Lovett on Curb Records/vinyl. 1987 digital recording that sounds wonderful, bass is very good and natural.

I bought Cosmic Hippo on CD last year to finally hear it and see if I wanted to splurge on an OP on vinyl. It sounded very promising and I need to listen again. I never made a decision.

 

I remember War "Greatest Hits" to be a very good sounding lp.

The two Steely Dan lps released as 45RPM have nice bass

Two Against Nature 

Everything Must Go

The Chemical Brothers - Block Rockin Beats

MC 900ft Jesus - The Killer Inside Me

Meat Beat Manifesto - Nocebo

Dar Williams "I'll Meet You Here" lp, has some really low bass info.

Lots of good ones already mentioned.  I'll try not to repeat, here are a few more:

Almost anything from Yello or Boris Blank

Chocolate Chip Trip - Tool
