That's very nicely recorded. Brian Blade has some serious percussive chops.
Most things by Kodo tend to have some interesting bass effects (for instance, the album 'Ubu Suna' or 'Irodori') and great music. Korn's 'See You on the Other Side', my favourite being 'Coming Undone'. Bill Bruford's 'Footloose and Fancy Free' (Live in London) is fun and closely mic'ed. Those recordings all seem to track the dynamics quite well and with compression reduced to a minimum.
More compressed but just as much fun might be 'The Power' by Snap. Tears for Fears were always big on bass power 'Songs from the Big Chair' and though he's very mainstream, Justin Timberlake's album 'Futuresex' is well produced but few people hear how good it is (even on typical lucid but anaemic/dynamically compromised audiophile systems). Timberlake, of course, will tell you that he modeled himself on Michael Jackson.
