The reason I ask is I helped set one up yesterday - and we had to choose what to play first to test it out.

For the record we went with shine on you crazy diamond from wish you were here with the quiet opening and punch when the rest of the band kicks in. Sounded great.

Something will silly bass to give it a workout. Maybe techno or dub. DJ Muggs, Green Velvet, Lee Perry, Aphex Twin kind thing.

I’d save Albert Ayler & Diamanda Galas until it’s broken in a bit.

You go for the bass. Me, I’m thinking Hallelujah, the Buckley cover.

You’ve lost me on the Buckley thing. Cohen first, then Cale…then maybe if we have time Buckley.

Yes, Aphex Twin - Collapse was going to be my answer.

Funkadelic - Maggot Brain, but either from a cd/vinyl or properly ripped flac.

I like flac as it’s versatile and I can transcode it without fear but it would surely take an actual mutant with a few million in stereo equipment to tell the difference between flac and a decent lossy rip.

Shaggy - Angel. I don’t even like the song that much but the mixing engineer really did his job on this one. The mix is outstanding.

But more important is that you play a song you know well so you know how it should sound.

I’m going with “Change of The Guard” by Kamasi Washington because it’s amazing. “ The Leper Affinity “ by opeth is a close second.
