How does this one work for you?  You wouldn't guess the bass from the pic 😜 Sorry it's in Swedish. Chorus is "you must dance on my grave" |

Going to check out the rest of the album, but on my PC speakers of course …

Yikes - I’m actually afraid of that track destroying my speakers!! Going to check out the rest of the album, but on my PC speakers of course … Hehe, Some tracks just hit that spot don't they. I always tell myself - my bass drivers can handle 1200W peak, 600W continuous and 6.7mm Xmax (max cone displacement in each direction). The max required displacement in the tapped horns @ 1W / 105dB is 1.5mm. However as the cone is pushing a column of air in the horn that weighs perhaps 1 or 2kgs the risk is the coil punches clean through the cone if things get over done😳 Try this track for size The Spotify version is bassy as hell. The Qobuz version lightweight in comparison. Then there's this. Nearly blew Martin's doors off! This is still the daddy, or is it mummy (Veronica Maggio), for sustained room and sofa vibration effect! |

The Melissa Tallon track '21' is good without blowing the doors off.
It's hard to beat Yello for musical but gut-wrenching bass. Takla Makan from Touch, for instance.

Yes, not surprising as they're both Aussies.

This set my sofa a vibrating. Not gut wrenching
open.qobuz.com/album/yhh94ydgxzkuc
Interestingly, i find the non hi res version has more bass?!
Spotify is a whole lot more bassy and pressured!

Here's an interesting bass one.
It isn't trad gut wrenching but in Spotify it plumbs the depths and is under control.
In Qobuz it is just too much, boomy, room modey, as if the medium playing it had feedback that adversely affected it, somehow!
Very odd.

Nope, don't like it at all. How long can music sound like it's about to get started without ever doing so?
Lots of background tape/flaw noise.

I like the music, but the recording that they've dug out from somewhere, is dreadful!
The best version I've found is the Mole Label, Blues For The Fisherman, recorded live at Ronnie Scott's in 1980. Make A List is another great track.
Art Pepper and Milcho played wonderfully there and the recording was quite acceptable.
Unfortunately it's not available in the streaming services.
So I cast about and you find some weird recordings - in the race to add content?
Some stuff is clearly taken off vinyl, complete with pops and clicks!

Yes, one of my favourite classical pieces on Spotify is lifted from an LP - but rather that than not have it at all. I suspect the master tape may have been lost.

Here you go Martin.
If this doesn't hit the sub spot, well!?
It's short and to the point.
Listen to Nurse Droid by Ludwig Goransson with Qobuz in high-fidelity.
And on the web on open.qobuz.com/track/83290003
Actually most of the album has brief gut wrenchy passages (no wait that came out wrong 😀)!

Oh yes, that's proper air moving infra-bass. Other tracks are good too, as you say. It's still recognisably Star Wars, isn't it?  |

My grandfather had the original soundtrack cassette, still in a Grundig cassette player I inherited in late 77. The rest kinda washed over me. Why are the Storm Troopers so laughably useless at successfully storming anything 😀 I like the bar scenes and droids though. |

The bar scenes are the best! Yes, the freakier the better. Swedes do like their sub bass don't they! Apart from Marie, she hates it! |
