Bass that will burst your heart !

Portishead - Dummy track 6

That track blew two sets of my speakers!

Bassy music is fantastic - my Dad's a very good bass player (session, Bob Marley, etc) so really do LOVE good non chavvy bass.

Trentemoller - Last Resort. Seriously good bassy album.

Thaiman:Big Chris:Thaiman:

Big Chris:Sub bass in metal isn't particularly common. 13th Step by A Perfect Circle has very low bass. Obsolete by Fear factory has a lot of sub bass drops. ('Shock' has loads, 'Hi-tech hate' has a nice long one that ends the intro) Strapping Young Lad like to drop in the occasional sub bass too.

Slipknot and Soulfly

Never got on with Soulfly. Slipknot? Haven't heard much sub-bass in Slipknot. Will have to listen again. (Oh yeah. Don't forget the new one's out on Monday.)

Have you seen the new song's music Video? They seem to cater for all now a day, not just a screaming teens....superb.

No, not yet. I'm hoping the CD is waiting for me on the doormat when I get home from work.

;-)

Hughes123:Bass that will burst your heart? Madonna Vouge on a JBL PA system with 11,000 watts of power resulting in 132db listening levels in a room 18ft by 21ft made the air move...you could feel the air pressure changing! It was awsome!

Indeed. 'Frozen' has nice super-low drops during the Arab-esc strings middle 8. 'Power of goodbye'( I think it's called that) is VERY bassy.

Where was that?!

 

[Big Chris]

Eh?

Pendulum - In silico (pretty much the whole album)

 

[Anonymous]

Oops - meant to quote the 11k watt Madonna "experience" - as in where was that heard?!

Surf Matt, where do you surf?

 

[Anonymous]

Octopo - live near Truro so mostly beaches near here (e.g. Porthtowan) but grew up in Polzeath. Also went to uni in Swansea so surfed there a lot too. And did a surfing honeymoon (5 months in Oz and NZ). Used to compete a while back.

Two pics from last October at Godrevy (yep - they are me):

Do you surf too?

Fantastic photos Matt!

Your obviously further on than I ever was. I spent nearly two years working out on the east coast of Oz and decided to buy a board. I ended up buying 2 moving from long to short board. I reckon I got to an average level (nowhere near competing level) then came back home with the intention of keeping it up, we did one trip to Cornwall and I broke a fin on a rock. Haven't had it fixed yet three years later...

Cheers!

Sounds great with the Oz stuff - where were you based? We went from just South of Sydney up to Byron (stunning barrelling waves there!) then did the whole of NZ.

Been a good summer for waves here in Cornwall - slightly makes up for the dire weather!

In the local village hall! Me and my dad borrowed a mates system which he uses for his band tours and it kind of reinvented loudness - we were hitting peaks of 142db from 2m away! I didn't know that sort of volume was produced by speakers!

We used to have a house in "Port Gaverne" near "Port Issac". Cornwall is awsome and surfing sure is too - just I'm not that good at it!

Know it well! Lived in Trebetherick then Trelights.
Surfing is hateful to learn but worth the effort - I think!

Trust me, RC helicopters are the hardest thing to get in the air - I just bought one and I've broken it already!

Oh, and our friend used to live down Marshalls Way in Trelights!

You try getting a surfboard into the air - REALLY hard!

Tiny bit of air in that top pic but not a lot (above)

Only flown helicopter simulators - it is indeed tricky - must be even harder when you're not in it!

....But much, much safer.

Got two mates that are helicoptor pilots - one private, the other RNAS.

From hanging out with them for many years I've come to the conclusion that it can't be all that hard to do! But yet, they do crash and there's no ejector button or "glider" options if the engine goes (you can autorotate for a bit but it's not the most reliable way of landing!)!
