Massive Attack's Angel, how did they manage to put that much bass in without mud?
Massive Attack's Angel is probably the go-to reference for testing bass on headphones, speakers, monitors, or audio equipment in general. I'm always baffled by this song because of how much bass they've put in it without it sounding muddy. How the hell did they manage to do it?
Wikipedia lists not 1, not 2, but 3 bass guitarists for this song. There's also this bass cover I've seen with 2 bass tracks. My guess is they probably had multiple bass tracks in this song, maybe one a synth bass?:
