The View From this Tower, Faraquet, "Cut Self Not," Jeff Boswell

it is very fucking tasty.

Seconded.

Yank Crime, Drive Like Jehu, "Here Come the Rome Plows," Mike Kennedy

I'm also tempted to say...

Young Team-Mogwai-'Yes! I Am a Long Way From Home'-Dominic Aitchison...certainly a bass-heavy album, and one of my all time fav 'bass records', to be sure

This might go into another thread of 'Bands who dropped the ball after creating amazing debut album'

starts with a drone (a keyboard of some sort, i believe) with some accompanying dialogue/tape...the bass comes in almost a minute into the record...

Prince Charming - Adam & The Ants "Scorpio"

Fattest three notes ever!

That's not a bass. It's a guitar through one of those Digitech Whammys.

two of my favorite records start off with woman bass players:
1. Black Flag - Slip It In. Okay, the title track is cool until the singing/lyrics start. Kira was awesome. This is to me, the best sounding Black Flag record they did. Kira also starts off "The Bars".
2. Melvins - Ozma. The sound that opens up the record is Lori Black standing on her tippy toes to turn on her double Ampeg cabinets with two heads gear. It is her gear warming up. I have seen her do this quite a few times when I used to hang out with them in S.F. The visual impact of this very tiny woman turning on this massive stack of gear was very impressive.

Does anybody remember "The Goats"? They were a Rap act that kinda dissolved in the mid 90's. They had a great song called "Not Your Typical American" that has an excellent bass intro. If you like references to Bush Sr., David Duke, and "Jack in the Box", then try to find their album "Tricks of the Shade". It's out of print, but you can download it somewhere.

uncanny. This is the second 'goats' reference I've read here today, one was in one of those PE threads. "Tricks of the Shade" was great, but in hindsight, it doesn't hold up as much as the chicken little skits do.
