Despite some acoustic treatments, acoustic curtains, I can’t have this track playing well on my system and room.
The bass isn’t tight, there’s some booming.
Can you try it and say how it sounds in your room?
The track is « repercussions « .

Not my favorite music - so too risky to buy. Steaming qobuz not possible

Not great, I have to say. But only through my UQ1/Neat Iotas whilst main system is temporarily out of action. Seems a bit of a weirdly recorded track all round to be honest. I assume deliberate, or isolated to that track? A quick spin through some other tracks on the album didn’t turn up anything untoward. Stings for example sounded much better!

No booming here. I’m assuming it’s synth bass rather than electric bass on that track.

Sad, would be curious to know with your system.
I presume you played it on Qobuz during 30 seconds or YouTube?
There’s like a distortion. But in HH system it’s fine.
I love the interactive play between the drummer and bass player, with the synthetic keyboard too.
Here the personnel. Can’t respond for the bass, but generally it’s a fender bass , as seen in most YouTube videos.

Not my thing, really, found it a bit boring TBH. No bass looseness, though, in my system. Mind you, I use Space Optimisation on my Linn streamer, which does a pretty good job of tidying up room resonances.

Deep but controlled bass, somewhat “splashy” cymbals in places, otherwise sounds decent and defined.
I’m now listening to the whole album via Tidal. The opening track again has very deep bass.
NDX2/XPS2/252/SC/ SNAXO362/SC/3x250 Active into Kudos 808 speakers.

Okay found on Tidal FLAC 48kHz 24bit.
The sub bass on the track does trigger a room mode interaction – the very deep synth/drum beat is over exaggerated.
On Naim system my room induced peak is 38Hz which passive room treatments don’t really touch.
When I apply a convolution filter to deal with this interaction the track plays with deep but not overbearing bass as intended.
From reading personal information on the artist, on Roon, I don’t think I’ll be listening to them again.
Good luck with finding a solution.

Not my type of Jazz, but streamed on Qobuz. Sounds a bit synthesised, a bit repetitive and dull.
Clear and no booming, bass is deep but tight.
Played on Linn Select DSM; Edition Hub into Kudos Titan 606 loudspeakers.

I know that you will be thinking ‘he would say that, liking his Space Optimisation’
…but…
That is very clearly an acoustic double bass, playing a very clearly textured and easy to follow tune, along with the rest of the band.
I have explained why I think that SO does work and why room treatments don’t work in the past, so I will not reignite an argument though.

No booming or boxyness here.
Top end sounds a bit loose but I think thats the way its recorded.
Nice find though, thanks.

Sounded terrible until I placed my system in an elevator and then it sounded perfect.

Will definitely be played by Gilles Peterson. Quite soothing. No SQ issues.
