Recommended Phantom Demo Tracks? - Paul @ HiFi Lounge - 16-Jul-2015 Hi All, I have been having great fun here demoing Phantom to anyone who comes into the shop, the response is the same everytime, using London Grammar's 'Hey Now' the look of amazement as soon as the bass comes in is priceless :-) I have been searching through my music library trying various tracks that really show Phantom off, below are a few of my favourites so far but I thought it would be fun if other Phantom users could post some of their favourites for everyone else to try - London Grammar - 'Hey Now' Muse - Psycho Massive Attack - Teardrop Aaron Copland - Fanfare For The Common Man Nine Inch Nails - Copy Of A Machinehead - Halo Look forward to trying some other recommendations :-) Cheers, Paul.

Excellent production, heavy basslines, crazy snappy synth fx. And yet complex and intelligent music. RE: Recommended Phantom Demo Tracks? - AaronG - 16-Jul-2015 DJ Koze Amygdala (complex and great electronica) Oliver Nelson Blues and the Abstract Truth (classic big group jazz) Hilary Hahn playing the Sibelius Violin Concerto That should test it out a bit! RE: Recommended Phantom Demo Tracks? - Manoet - 16-Jul-2015 Nah... you guys are all wrong! There's only one track to effectively run thru the Phantoms and for obvious reasons; Bob Seger's Horizontal Bop!!! RE: Recommended Phantom Demo Tracks? - alandbush - 16-Jul-2015 Naturally, Flight of the Cosmic Hippo by Béla Fleck and the Flecktones, especially the fretless bass and particularly midway through.

It was brief, but the sound was impressive. I think the bass performance of the phantom is largely beyond doubt. If I was going to sit down again for a calmer, more absorbing listen, I would like to hear music that shows the character of the mid and upper tones. I think I would ask for: Vivaldi concertos in C for 3 oboes, 2 clarinets and strings Corelli conceri grossi in D (Trevor Pinnock, English Consort) Pink Martini, tracks from 'Hang on, Little Tomato' Jordi Savall, Rolf Lislevand, Michael Behringer; La Folia, or the sound track from Tous Les Matins Du Monde. Nouvelle Vague, various. Not that these are particularly demanding tracks or albums, or particularly top-heavy; just some items that we listen to often, and where I would notice the presentation of midrange and treble regions, as well as space, silence, fibrous texture.... esp. Jordi Savall. There are plenty of excellent recommendations made already; I'm just fussing around before work. > welcome DATA. RE: Recommended Phantom Demo Tracks? - Paul @ HiFi Lounge - 16-Jul-2015 Thanks the the replies so far guys, looks like the above will keep me busy for a while, I actually forgot my favourite demo track, if you really want to follow a bass line of a track try the below, funnily enough the bottom bass line just doesn't exist on a lot of other speakers - Gorillaz - Dare RE: Recommended Phantom Demo Tracks? - alandbush - 16-Jul-2015 (07-Jul-2015, 15:33)Vince_JP Wrote: One of the most impressive "Phantom Dance" I've experienced so far, came also most unexpected: no drum beat, no heavy/loud tune but a kind of deep blowing wind: try the first minutes from Artist Biosphere, Album Substrata, Track Kobresia (to be found on Spotify but maybe also elsewhere)... Although it's probably not everyone's taste, I like it to show the famous "Dance" cause it's not hurting any sensible ears and it produces most effectively the astonished faces you want to see by demoing Phantom. As Vince_JP notes, the only track I have come across, so far, that excites the bass drives without the need to crank up the volume. |
