BUMP

I'm digging long jazzy/folky funk jams that build in intensity, the kind of stuff that was fashionable when "acid jazz" was big in the 90's

Terry Callier - Candy Man
Isaac Hayes - Hyperbolicsyllabicsesquedalymistic
Grant Green - Sookie Sookie

nobody?

Ty Segall's Slaughterhouse (minus that Fuzz War feedback track) has been amazingly motivating the last couple of days for me. Newish Fucked Up record not so much.

For me at the moment it's mostly ambient or quiet stuff that i can just drift along with, but i had an amazing run recently listening to Current 93's All The Pretty Little Horses on repeat through some spooky old wooded countryside in Berkshire in the early morning mist and a subsequent biblical rainstorm

I hate running, but I like Miles Davis "Big Fun" for cardio.
I have the reissue with the bonus tracks from the Bitches Brew sessions. "Recollections" is crucial.

all the pretty horses run sounds amazing

ryan elliott - panorama bar 06
dj deep - kern vol. 01
hyperdub 10.1

theo parrish ugets are a fav, especially starting with "the love i lost"

huh funny you mention Miles. I did an On The Corner run (the two 20 minute tracks) recently. Took a bit to let myself just roll with it, but was feeling good by the end. Jack Johnson is a great idea.

I threw on Big Fun on runs last night and this morning. Really good call. Especially for running through Brooklyn & Manhattan at night.
I can see myself disappearing into an electric Miles rabbit hole for working out for a few weeks.
The last really aggressive run I did was soundtracked by Plastikman.
My other two favorites are Husker Du - Zen Arcade & Deafheaven - Sunbather. Both close to perfect length to run from my place to my girlfriends.

Almost any Fela record. I figure of he and his band can keep up the jams for 20+ minutes at a time I can easily keep moving too.

good idea

i'm not really into running with (or without...) music for some reason but if i was i would imagine this is an excellent call

but i had an amazing run recently listening to Current 93's All The Pretty Little Horses

Be careful out there :)

techno techno techno. jeff mills/robert hood/regis/surgeon... Optimo's mix cd of r&s tracks (called In Order To Edit) is good. Running with CJ bolland's "horsepower" makes me feel like the terminator.

indian classical stuff is good too.

tried Kraftwerk Autobahn today. Seemed like a no-brainer but it didn't really get me going. Maybe I was just beat. Time for a day off.
