Yeah, testing out an awesome sound system that I bought with a few friends tonight/tomorrow night, and I need some epic music that bombards you with.. sound really. You know, the type where you sit back and think "woah, what just hit me"

I have nothing really, though I'll play Fuck Buttons' Surf Solar, because I can only imagine it's even more immense on a nice system.

Cheers

p.s. unless your friends are electronic aficionados, they will hate the music

but it is motherfucking art, dont you doubt

I'm listening to it on YouTube atm (yaya, lol etc), and though it's not something I'd listen to every day, it's exactly what I'm looking for.

Though I doubt it'll get much playing time.. What was that electronic song that was relatively "hard core" that you linked to some months ago? 'twas on Vimeo, video was just a visualization.

all autechre is pretty good. it's... 'prettier' than SND, but fundamentally the same aesthetic. complex rhythms, computer-coded geekery.

The Legend of the Black Shawarma - Infected Mushroom

The last track would be pretty good, lots of highs and lows and everything in between. It's been well produced and mastered, if not a little repetitive in one part.

probably.

Tradition in Norway to buy a bus with ~30 friends, pimp it and party for a month when graduated. Which is why it's shared.

What's the sound system?

I assume you want it for bassy music?

I don't really get this thread. Most music will suffice - so long as you like it, and know what it's meant to sound like.

well, I can play Miley Cyrus on it, but it's not exactly going to blow me away, is it? Looking for something that really shows me what it's got.

Not really true. Music like Stairway to Heaven will test the intricacies of the tweeters, whilst stuff like Eastern Glow - The Album Leaf will test the speed and accuracy of the bass. It's not exactly "throw any song you have at it and see if it sounds okay".

that 96Hz, 24-bit SND album that i recommended is in an incredibly high-quality format. it is also incredibly complex. the sound and production is polished to near perfection and will test every individual component of a speaker system to the max. it is sound-art - sound experimentalism, more than 'music'. absolutely bloody fascinating. will give you a headache if you play it too loud for too long, though. it's like machine music made for hardware-geeks .

Hey can't get 96KHz, lol... A USB input device can only go up to 44.1KHz.
