Whatever genre ...

Let's fun begin 🙂

I will tell you mine latter 😕

For low-frequency tested, I recommend:

1. Nils Petter Molvaer, album: "Khmer", track 2: "Tlon"  (after 2:40 min)

2. Mercan Dede,  album: "Nefes", track 6: "Zefir"   (Real earthquake, subsonic!)

God Hates Us by Avenged Sevenfold, Nightmare album. From silent clean guitars to death metal in a second.

Fred Bigot :  Hot Spectrum ; Disco Pillow ; I Love You So

Plastikman : Ask Yourself

Lustmord : The Ambient Abyss ; Black Star ; Deep Calls To Deep

:Zoviet * France : On The Edge Of A Grain Of Sand (Between 1:24 & 1:33 mostly...)

Back in the day, when installing BIG speakers for a living in literally hundreds of living rooms, we had our trusty DJ flight case of LP's we knew would be a "control" for positioning, tweaking and making sure the system was installed as well as it could be.

Amongst these reference tracks, a favourite track of mine was Wholly Humble Heart by Martin Stephenson & the Daintees

Superb production - It sounds spectacular on big speakers like Penta's - really shows their depth and spacial quality ....also fine though Linn isobariks, Naim SBL's   etc etc.  Find it on his excellent album Gladsome, Humour and Blue.

Also liked to play the albums below - all well recorded, dynamic and musically satisfying LP's - It was good to play these  in houses where they would be an unknown genre, and hopefully  an introdution to new music, to go with the new hi-fi... 

Typically "Who is that, where can I buy it  ??" was the question - which showed us the Hi-Fi was doing its job -- ie, playing music in a believable/engrossing manner.

Albums included :

Steve Earle, Guitar Town - one of the fist DDD releases I think, but still OK despite that.

Johhny Clegg and Savuka - Shadow Man. (Sounds a tiny bit 80's now - the keyboards I think -  listened to it on my Beogram last week)

Nic Jones - Penguin Eggs

Martin Simpson - Sad or high Kicking

June Tabor - A Cut above

Al Green - Lets Stay Together

Hildegard of Bingen - Gothi Voices ( Emma Kirby)

J C Mellancamp - Scarecrow

Kevin McDermot Orchestra - Mother Natures kitchen.

Stevie Ray Vaughan - The Sky is Crying

Solomon Burke - A Change is gonna come.

All of the above are well worth owning.

war pigs- black sabbath

i started something- the smiths

First I will go with one hit, big hit....
