Morning tunes for hiking

[Greenlight]

Anything by Nickel Creek, specifically Chris Thile (rhymes with feely), he's the most gifted soul ever to pick up a mandolin. He does impossible things with the instrument and can pull any feeling out of you he desires. He's that good. He has solo albums, collaborates with another bluegrass band called Punch Brothers, and has done jazz gigs with the virtuoso pianist Brad Mehldau...Stuff your MP3 player full of his stuff, it'll get you down the trail.

Ravel. Bolero. Crank it up!

Not so much for getting going in the morning but I tend to listen to New Age or celtic/Irish music...it just seems to blend with the world around me a little more than country, rock or anything else. Instrumental-type stuff from soundtracks are a good listen too, especially Two Steps From Hell (no, not a metal or rock band)

Good stuff!

Lately, I've been on a Stevie Ray Vaughn and Govt. Mule kick...great for a long run.

[Traffic Jam]

...a few more

Sunshine of Your Love, Cream
We Walk, R.E.M
Get Up, R.E.M.
Finding My Way, Rush
Wake Me Up, Dirty Loops
Today, Smashing Pumpkins
Hump De Bump, Red Hot Chili Peppers...I can interpret it how I want, Dogwood

Funny, I was going to suggest the same! Think it's our age where we start out a little slow but eventually get up to speed?

Perhaps. I just know that I find the mounting energy very stimulating.
It puts in the proper frame of mind for In A Gadda Da Vida. I'm going to have to get a second battery for my MP3 player.

Iron Butterfly. I saw them and they opened for The Jefferson Airplane.

I remember the 60's and can't believe I was there.

I remember the 60s too. I guess we weren't having enough fun.

braveheart track, main theme

Awesome! Back before Napster/LimeWire (which are dead now), YouTube Downloader (highly suggest getting that one!) and SiriusXM Recorder (you need to be a hardware geek but it records everything) I used to buy music. I've got two CDs of the braveheart stuff somewhere. I REALLY miss Cinemagic, it was an XM channel where they just played movie music scores. I've got a lot of stuff recorded off that channel.

Dances with wolves is a good one - any of the theme-type music works crossing balds. I kept thinking of it and the original Conan the Barbarian themes passing over the balds from Roan Highlands.
Mostly I like EDM, however. Anything Trance with flowing highs and a deep foot-stomping bass line.
Dash Berlin
Axwell/Ingrosso
Marcus Schultz
Above and Beyond
Armin Van Buuren

I generally record XM channels 52/53 and they have some great 60-90 minute radio shows. A State of Trance is sort of a louder, harder sound, and a State of Sundays has more easygoing down tempo stuff. Sunday nights they do slow easy stuff which works better for night time.

I have a decent amount of classic rock and death metal, but that's not so good for the trail.

In fact, most of the time I listen to nothing. I sort of like the peaceful quiet of my breath and the crunching leaves. But I'm also usually with a group hiking friends... and people like to talk before we spread out too much. If I were out there completely alone, I'd probably listen to more music.

I like books on tape too

[rocketsocks]

In fact one you recommended Dogwood.
"one second after"

[Dogwood]

For those inclined to Ambient, chill out, EDM, Deep House, Electronica, Trance, New Age, Instrumental, dance, etc might try

Chemical Brothers, Orbital, Opus Orange(many good ones on the Mile, Mile and a Half Soundtrack), Dario G, and Chicane.

Chicane Offshore - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h5wd...JObZPrB26Yjkbz Very Nice!
Saltwater - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ET1-6Bef9xU
Overlap - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UabX...JObZPrB26Yjkbz
Windbreaks - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WOJEN_A8dXM It gets going about 1/3 the way in.
The Drive Home - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UCXCZ17Pzt0 Very nice!
Thousand Mile Stare - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D5FQ...JObZPrB26Yjkbz

Pete Tong - I Will Rise Again (feat. Frankie Wilde remix) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D_3rb9fZMhw

Armin van Buuren's cuts are too numerous to list.

Do you want to touch me - Joan Jett

[Deer Hunter]

Good stuff!

Great music imho.

Also saw mile mile and a half and discovered opus orange. Great band. That guy "transient" posted his music here on another thread. Recorded in the Appalachian Trail, and not acoustic folk.

Slipped my mind. Reminded of it earlier.

Puts me into a Jason Bourne car chase scene mood. Right up there with some of Moby's stuff. I'm adding it. THX Gotta go go now since ...for a 20 mile run before dinner.
