Long Songs for the Long Run

http://vox2.cdn.amiestreet.com/band-picture/Pharoah-Sanders_2IexzU4x8LIx_full.jpg

Lately Ive been getting bored with my usual techno, metal or hip-hop running playlists so Im trying something new for tomorrows long run (18kms)..........

1. Afro Blue- John Coltrane
2. Piya Re Piya Re-Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan
3. Southern Man- CSNY
4. Machine Gun' Hendrix
5. Dark Star- Grateful Dead
6. The Creator Has a Master Plan- Pharoah Sanders
7. Free Bird- Lynyrd Skynyrd

They are all massively long songs and 1,2,5 and 7 all have a driving meditative quality that help with the dissociation......you can kind of dissapear into a trance-like state for a while....Ive run to Fateh Ali Khan once before and felt pretty amazing........Ive got plenty more than I need so will experiment...

  1. Nice eclectic list. I'd also recommend "Faith Healer" by The Sensational Alex Harvey Band and anything from "On The Corner" by Miles Davis
