here is something I posted a while back...

Every once in awhile you stumble across a CD that to be appreciated has to
be heard on a hi fi audio system.  That CD in question is Senking -
Senking (Karoke Kalk KK CD1).  This CD compiles all the tracks from the
Senking 12" ep plus three additional tracks from the first two kandis
vinyl only releases.  Now onto the music:

Think Pole without the pops and clicks.  Think Richie Hawtin djing 20,000
leagues under the sea.  We are talking about deep bass and mutated techno
beats (as if you were hearing the music under water).   I did not fully
realize the impact of the album until I turned on my subwoofer that is
connected to my home stereo.  The overall effect is a very laid back
projection of sound.  A wonderful album, especially with the lights out
and the sub turned up.

In a lot of ways it more basic channel than basic channel.
