"Some oldies! Did you listen to Orb, Autechere, The Future Sounds of London, Squarepusher, or orb? (little fluffy clouds was my fav). That stuff brings back memories. heheeh You might like the clickhop stuff that came out a few years ago. Danger Mouse's Gray album was pretty sick, and prefuse 73, Jimmy Edgar, Dabrye, and Daedelus are all newer artists that remind me of the older stuff, its just more glitchy."
I'm amazed at your taste in music!

Showin the love today. I don't have my Traktor here, so they're not mixed, but still good stuff I threw together whilst wasting good agency time. Most of its slammin, but there are a few slower tracks which you can shuffle past on a run. Its mostly hip/click hop, synth and electro. And yes there are a couple chick track in there. (suck it up boys) enjoy the goodness...

I listen to f*king Jungle!!!
sometimes I may throw in some not very fast punk tune..I like drum n bass a lot because it goes at the right speed for running, as in every time I take a step is a clave on the beat.
Some tracks (andy c mixes after the 2nd track) get too damn fast and I can't keep the pace, same with punk.. (animal boy by ramones)
Example:
Excellent pace for running: (7 Years : Nu-Tone (Matrix Remix)
Too fast: Join The Dots/Screamer VIP - Andy C & Ram Trilogy
- This is why I listen to that Makoto mix. It's rather easy to concentrate in my footsteps with a repetitive beat. :o)VectorMasked

- nice! That means you don't suck so much anymore. Just got that too a few days ago! :o)VectorMasked

So now that this thread has turned into a music thread...
Anybody know of any artists with a similar sound as Aphex Twin?
Just got some Squarepusher last nite. It rocks.
Or possibly something mellow like Mogwai or Sigur Ros.kthxbye.
- boards of canadabrandelec
- forgot to mention...
anything other than boards of canada
;o)VectorMasked
- Meeklo0
aphex twin, on the frantic tip I'm guessing since you liked squarepusher?
you could try Autechre
Jega
- Jega doesn't have a video, but that is his track "aerodynamic"Meeklo
- i loved autechre. MTV amped used to be my favorite shows. Chris Cunningham was a really ahead of his time with video production back in those days. Remember the portisthead video?flutter
- Woah! Autechre's awesome. Just checked a few of their tracks n I am not disappointed at all! Thanks dude!VectorMasked
- Actually that video was done by Alex Rutterford: http://www.warp-net.…Meeklo

Vector - AFX is a side project of Richard D James, who is aphex twin. Try Autechere, Fluke, Future Sounds of London, The Prodigy, The Propeller Heads, Wagon Christ, The Orb, Photek and maybe Goldie. (just get the mtv amped cd that came out 10 years ago or so)
For the chill stuff you might like múm, Hilmar Örn Hilmarsson, Fly Pan Am, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Explosions in the sky, Kraftwork, and Stars of the lid.
check out these links...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spa…Didn't mean to turn to a music thread. running/music! never shall the two separate. (unless you're running with team in training, they don't let you wear headphones... bastards)
great job on your milestone Meeklo
- oh and to find more in similar genres and make channels go to http://www.last.fm in case you don't have the links alreadyflutter
- Cool. I'll look at those. Got prodigy already and stuff by Richard where he goes by Caustic Window, AFX, Polygon WindowVectorMasked
- I basically have anything I can think of from Richard D James, but have a hard time finding similar intriguing stuff from othersVectorMasked

Dear Meeklo, i am now 4 weeks into my running career. I have a twisted knee and a torn achilles tendon. I rock.

Lately I have found myself running a lot to Little Wonder by David Bowie. Tune's good, but like the effects and overly precessed guitars and the beat is nice, and... love how the tempo increases around the 5 min mark and that helps me to speed up my pace for about 2 mins.
- I always hated that video..
don't know why, I like the track thoughMeeklo - really? I like that vid. I personally like Floria Sigismondi's stuff. Very talented woman.VectorMasked

hey QBN's, i joined the race in the last minute. :-)

- AHAHAHAHAHAH!!!! WTF!!!
funny dude. Welcome anyway. The freelancers need ya ;o)VectorMasked - been siting way too much. plus, it clears the head. for awhile.akrokdesign
- true dat.
2 days left dude! u better ran one more time before it ends!VectorMasked - nice man!Meeklo

OK who is freelancer and who is agency? I swing both ways and never sleep.
Has anyone had this issue with their plus system? Now it will tell me when I hit my first KM/MI, then it won't tell me anymore, even after I hit the middle button. Polar needs to come up with a better system than this crap. But I have to hand it to nike for the design. Form over function. Like a VW.
is there only 2 days left? I thought we had 3 more??
- well 2-3 is like the same thing. we all got like 2 more runs.VectorMasked
- flutter swings both ways!!

Well, this thing is almost over.
:o)
:back to music ;O)
Been listening quite bit to Autechre... hawtness!
Also found out about a british duo that goes by the name of ISAN.
Pretty awesome shit imo. No vocals just digital shit in a mellow and chilled fashion. Will def try to set a playlist for myself with only ISAN and Autechre for my next run.:o)
and oh yeah... my left knee is hurting. damn glad this is almost over.
nothing serious, just an annoying discomfort I've always had since I had surgery back in my teens.
