Ahh, I remember when I got MBV Arkestra to go louder once. I couldn't find the remote control to turn it down, and by the time it got white pounding lights moment (four - five minutes in), I was moving to the furthest point in the house as I couldn't get close enough to turn it down without destroying my hearing.

Friends shouldn't have professional PAs lying around their small houses - still high pleasure.

That's happened to:

My wife (girlfriend then)
My daugher Amber (age two then)
And Alice (age two then):

Switches hi-fi on
turns up volume, no sound.
Looks at amp, presses radio button
Music starts at max decibels
I come in to see wassup

Discharge "Hear Nothing See Nothing Say Nothing"

― peepee (peepee), Friday, 9 January 2004 13:01 (twenty-two years ago)

Nektar "A Tab in the Ocean"
Klaus Schultze "X"
John Barry "Dances with Wolves" soundtrack
Anglagard "Epilog"
Genesis "Nursery Cryme" (esp. "seven stones")
Messiaen "Turangalila Symphonie"
Saint-Saens "Symphony No1"

Generally anything where the music swells. Basic loud rock music I find is just the same but louder. We used to play lots of stuff at earthquake volume when I was a PA engineer - The John Barry soundtrack listed above was the best.

"We used to play lots of stuff at earthquake volume". - this reminds me of a great phrase I once read on some review on amazon.co.uk (quite possibly of an Electric Wizard or High on Fire album): PLAY AT WAR VOLUME

― M Carty (mj_c), Friday, 9 January 2004 13:46 (twenty-two years ago)

The bass pedal notes on the opening track from "dances with wolves" did actually make the floor shake.

― Pashmina (Pashmina), Friday, 9 January 2004 13:47 (twenty-two years ago)

First Time! The Count Meets the Duke
Nothing's Shocking
Black Man's Burden
Quadraphenia

See that Glen Branca thread below...also, I can't ever seem to get Univers Zero's "Heresie" as loud as I'd like to hear it.

Television's Marquee Moon, although most albums recorded before 1990 or so seem way too quiet to me now.

― Nick Mirov (nick), Friday, 9 January 2004 18:22 (twenty-two years ago)

The horns on "Ante Up (remix)" could always be louder.
