Heavy listening mode

I’m in the mode for heavy music, fuelled in part by my recent acquisition of a pair of Ultimate Ears super.fi 5 extended bass headphones (or personal monitors as they like to call them, heh heh). Listening to them is at first like walking into a bass-heavy club. My trusty Shure E3Cs, part of which snapped off in my bag not so long ago, ouch, hence this purchase, failed on the dubstep test - some bass parts just weren’t there. Only downside of them are their size, they are a tad outlandishly large for ear-canal headphones and I might have hesitated if I’d physically seen them rather than ordering them online. Here’s my current heavy listening playlist:

• 2562 / A Made Up Sound - all the 12″s thus far available on one playlist. Can’t wait for the new Techno Dread/Enforcers 12 upcoming imminently and Boomkat’s mention of an album in the pipeline has this sucker hot with anticipation…
• Benga / Diary of an Afro Warrior - been loving this one since I bought it.
• Burial / Burial - ’nuff said, prefer this to the second by a country mile.
• John Coltrane / Live In Japan - roiling out there’ness from ‘66.
• Krust / Decoded - what happened to Krust? This is a great 12″ offshoot from the patchily brilliant Coded Language.
• Miles Davis / On The Corner + Dark Magus - the heaviest bastards from the heaviest fucker of them all.
• Scorch Trio / Luggumt - leadweight power trio features Raoul Björkenheim, Håker Flaten and Paal Nilssen-Love. If those names don’t conjure a little thrill, you’re deaf or dead.
• Signal / Robotron - this is best when it’s deafening you.
• T++ / All the 12″s - Torsten Pröfrock is god. My playlist includes his characteristically brilliant remix of Shackleton’s Death Is Not The End as well.
• Terje Isungset / Iceman Is - ice is the new metal. Or something.
• Various / … Compiled - Chain Reaction compilation, fairly rare, very heavy.
• Von Südenfed / Tromatic Reflexxions - played this to death, forgot about it, now resurrected it. Wish I could source the remixes, would love to hear ‘em, would pay to download them. Update: just spotted that they’re available on iTMS :-)
