Help me find something besides Fela Kuti to listen to while running

I'm burning out the catalog. Looking for something similarly propulsive + long-form + trance-inducing.... Yesterday I ran to that Pharoah Sanders' "Trance Of Seven Colors" thing. But that was yesterday. Thank you!

Ted Nugent works for me:

Theo Parrish mixes work for me.

I will give the LCD another go. Is there a specific Theo Parrish record I should try?

I was thinking of something more organic, people hitting drums with sticks and hands...some of the longer, double-drummer Fall Peel session tracks have moved me along too.

I guess Theo is SORT OF organic, but prolly you want something else. You could try "These Days And Times".

― admrl, Saturday, 19 June 2010 23:48 (sixteen years ago)

Maybe you just want a mix of Konono and TP Orchestre Poly-Rythmo De Cotonou. That would be great, actually!

― admrl, Saturday, 19 June 2010 23:49 (sixteen years ago)

Maybe not propulsive enough but like some Mainliner or Les Rallizes Denudes could be good. I'd have to try it. maybe not, I dunno

― admrl, Saturday, 19 June 2010 23:51 (sixteen years ago)

Actually what about some Boredoms? Super Roots 5 or Super Roots 10 or Rebore?

― admrl, Saturday, 19 June 2010 23:53 (sixteen years ago)

This is fun!

― admrl, Saturday, 19 June 2010 23:53 (sixteen years ago)

Ok I just sampled Echos Hypnotiques on eMusic and I am all over that. Thanks!

I hadn't even thought to run to Boredoms but yeah those would be good too. Also Konono, although I'm missing some of the distortion/grit on the new one.

lately i have been listening to midtown 120 blues, E2-E4 (cover connection), Pawel and Efdemin, but like CAN srsly

xpost haha Rallizes would have me wandering off into a gully and just lying there I think. I tried to run to Parson Sound a couple weeks ago and my feet felt super heavy. But maybe that was the hangover.

― Hadrian VIII, Saturday, 19 June 2010 23:58 (sixteen years ago)

Can! That's great running music...Jaki should get one of those Nike commissions.

woah, i've run to theo parrish, e2-e4, and super roots 7 just this week! 45:33 has been my go-to for years. i'm reading the murakami book about running and he likes the lovin' spoonful, lol. as far as timing and energy go, 45:33 couldn't be better imo, especially if you need a shot of energy around 17:00. that's when it's totally about people hitting drums with hands and sticks! if you don't hear "organic" than i am sorry for you!

yeah I like the way it builds but I just don't need that dude singing at me in the beginning I guess, telling me not to hide my love from him etc. Chanting and shouting I can run to...MES, James Brown...the Blurt guy. "Singing" not so much.

Motorpsycho - Timothy's Monster
Motorpsycho - Trust Us

Mulatu Astatke might be a good choice too. Right now can't get enough of what Sect did on Man of Wisdom with the Yekermo sample:

Been listening to a lot of NOMO during my runs lately.

― righteousmaelstrom, Sunday, 20 June 2010 17:01 (sixteen years ago)

That sounds slightly disgusting. Let me rephrase:

"Lately, I have been listening to a lot of NOMO while running."

― righteousmaelstrom, Sunday, 20 June 2010 17:03 (sixteen years ago)

rousing rock songs work well, i think, e.g.:

  • walkmen, the rat
  • tvotr, wolf like me
  • the nat'l, bloodbuzz ohio
  • jimmy buffett, margaritaville
lol just kidding on the last one i hate that song would only run away from it.
