I'd like some suggestions for killer bass tracks - just for fun. I'm not talking about thumping mid-bass of the type included in much dance music. I mean gut-wrenching, floor-shaking subterranean earthquake bass that moves air in ways only the biggest speakers can manage. Here are some examples: Yello - Takla Makan, true floor shaking vibes throughout Sting - A Thousand Years, some more room shaking vibes here Massive Attack - Angel, this one is more about very deep synth bass texture Michael Murray - Widor Symphony No. 6, Adagio, this one is not on streaming but is probably the deepest most powerful organ recording I've ever heard :format(jpeg):mode_rgb():quality(90)/discogs-images/R-2914365-1307044194.jpeg.jpg) |

The opening track on "The Capitol Studios Sessions" by Jeff Goldblum and the Mildred Snitzer Orchestra. Quite a surprise!

Great thread, I’ll try those tracks.
Here’s a few mostly very deep bass tracks
This one has bass in and around 10hz
This one’s deepest notes are 5hz I believe
This isn’t deep bass but testing plucked double bass and rapid beats
This one around the 1:30 mark is sustained amp torture bass

Blue Print - 'MLK...Check!'
I can't find it online. It may not even have been released on CD, I am not sure. It was on a kind of sampler album by The Black Rock Coalition called 'The History of Our Future'.
Deeply disturbing bass sounds!

LOL - I can't test any of this until I get home. My work speakers are small Creative units that don't have bass in their vocabulary.

In order...
Jeff Goldblum - lovely live recording, no earth shattering bass but good sound
Bassotronics - no Curtain Shaker on Qobuz, but I tried Woofer Wrecker. Feck me, that's subterranean!
GoGo Penguin - I tried All Red. Great sound, not very deep bass
DJ Droppin' - I tried Bass Abuse. Stunning deep bass, pure tones rather than textures. Moonscape is good
Cornered - Senking. The bass is really interesting and textured, I like it!
Adam Ben Ezra - Can't Stop Running - just plucked double bass, doesn't really qualify
George Duke - The Black Messiah - ditto, great but doesn't qualify
King Tubby - Zion Gate Dub, potent mid bass but no tectonic movements
Portishead - It Could be Sweet, nearly there, the walls almost noticed!

Mahler - Symphony No 8, Tennstedt, I know where to go with this one, the finale with that sustained pedal note. The Solti is far better.
Inception - Time, it's subtle but this does have some serious air movements, very good!
Rhythm & Sound - Mango Drive. It wins through potency rather than extension, but my walls are shaking!
Leftfield - Dusted, not much deep bass here
Yheti - Crack the Window, oh yes, this will given a chance, great stuff!
Nitin Sawnhey - Letting Go, yes I know this well and the whole album has some stunning deep bass
Yello - Junior B, yep they do deep bass in spades. The masters of musically interesting synth bass
Peter Gabriel - Digging in the Dirt, not bad but there is better bass in Rhythm of the Heat
