1
Gregory Porter: “Holding On”
This warm, emotionally engaging Blue Note recording is a supremely clean-sounding production. It places Porter’s famously sonorous singing at the heart of a full and deep soundstage, while the lack of background noise is made all the more obvious by the low noise and effortless transparency of the Bowers & Wilkins Diamond Surround Sound system. If you can listen beyond that wonderful voice – not easy – the other key emphasis here is on spatial placement of where Gregory’s voice is left to right. Instrumental strands and vocal elements are perfectly placed before you in this stereo image, the speakers receding into the background

Lorde: “Royals”
This muscular, minimalist slice of electropop is so mature, so sophisticated in its simplicity that it’s hard to credit that on its release, New Zealand songstress Lorde was a scant 16 years old. Proof positive that pop doesn’t have to mean pap; it’s a clever, infectious and affecting recording propelled by seat-shaking bass blended with bitingly witty lyricism. Of course, the demo cut of the disc “The Love Club EP“ is the effortlessly catchy “Royals”, but follow-up hit “Team” is a joy too. It’s an exceptional demo to show off your BMW system’s subwoofer and speaker quality.

deadmau5 featuring Grabbitz: “Let Go”
No Bowers & Wilkins demo playlist could possibly be complete without a slice of deadmau5: electro’s standout act combines endless invention with a passion for super-high-quality production, ensuring a consistently high standard across all his albums. “Let Go” is a belter, its atmospheric opening swiftly giving way to a hefty blast of angry electro groove that’s sure to test your system’s scale, spatial presentation and subwoofer power.

ZZ Top: “Blue Jean Blues”
ZZ Top’s 1975-vintage fourth album is an interesting hybrid of live and studio recordings. The first side, all live, is appealingly ‘real’ and exciting, but it’s the second side’s six-strong selection of studio works that really stuns as a demo. Of course, “Tush” is the most well-known cut, the band’s first really big hit, but our favorite song for the speaker sound test is the simply exquisite “Blue Jean Blues”. Billy Gibbons’ wonderfully dexterous blues guitar solo is a treat of technique and tenderness. It’ll image beautifully on your system, sounding stable and focused in front of you as you drive.

The Black Keys: ”Gold On The Ceiling”
The Black Keys often get compared with the equally monochromatic The White Stripes, but Ohio’s finest are an altogether more prolific and experimental outfit. Over time and multiple records, their heavy, grimy and raw-sounding garage rock has evolved into something far more complex and, yes, commercial. “Gold On The Ceiling” is the second single from their seventh album, “El Camino“: its sound fuses 1960s-style vocal harmonies with a mid-70s Glam Rock guitar groove, all underpinned by an infectiously catchy electro-bass rhythm. It’s simple, irresistible fun and a great way to evaluate the integration between the main speakers and the subwoofer in your car audio system.

José James: “Trouble”
The album “No Beginning No End“ effortlessly intertwines hip-hop, R&B and modern jazz into a compelling fusion that’s both unique and endlessly inventive. With legendary performers such as Robert Glasper and Pino Palladino in the engine room it’s no surprise that the album’s instrumentation is supremely tight and effortlessly rhythmic, but the real star is James’ sultry, soulful voice, his Sly-Stone-smooth style perfectly complementing his record’s slick, silky production values. The other standout feature and real speaker sound test is the astonishing authority of the disc’s bass. Palladino co-produced the final mixes and clearly, The Who’s post-Entwistle bass guitarist knows a thing or two about low frequencies…
