Anyone know any decent running tracks or albums, currently running too Dave Pearce trance 2008 which really gets me in the zone! But need some more, any ideas ladies and gents feed back would be much appreciated.
Energetic, repetitive, driving, plus for me you get the occasional big tune kick in which drives you on. With long mixes you can also quickly check your MP3 player and see how long you've been running.
Film soundtracks are fantastic to run to. I don't mean the songs from films, I mean the actual composed music. Hans Zimmer, James Newton-Howard, Michael Giacchino are all great.
My personal favourites are the Bladerunner soundtrack (Vangelis) and the Inception soundtrack (Hans Zimmer). In fact, I'm just going out to run now, with both of those on my mp3 player!
Oh yes i have a Sansa clip+ with a 24gb microSD card... All for £55.... Win!!!! What difference Does rockbox do to it as I thought about rockboxing mine?
Anyone care to post any updates on this? I bought last year's Ministry of Sound Ibiza compilation which had some good tracks but too many fillers or stuff that I've heard ad nauseam when the kids insist on listening to Capital in the car, so I don't want to go for another one of those compilations as I get bored listening to it. I just want something that is quite fast paced so it keeps me interested while running, vocals optional I suppose! I've looked on iTunes and other than the compilations I don't really know what I'm looking for. I didn't much fancy the MoS running bug compilation for the same reasons above.
TBH, I've bought the last two MOS running albums, including the marathon edition and they were a bit samey. Bought the MOS Superstars DJs album and guess what, its pretty much the same as the other two!
If you're using a smartphone, consider signing up for Spotify and paying the £9.99p/m fee and you can pretty much download and stream as much music as you could possibly want. Get the share my playlist app and you can pick someone elses playlist on genre and you discover all sorts of new music that way.
