Electric Counterpoint Only: Full of fast and bouncy polyrythyms to keep the mind occupied whilst the body works. New York, Vermont and the Cello Counterpoints go very well with this, too.

Slow builders, chilled and very beautiful. Clearly defined beats are important for runners, but not so fast that you find yourself sprinting before the end of mile one.

Mix of electronic styles - like Aphex Twin but with more humour - those bubbling acid moogs give me a loping gait as much a dance as a run!

Nicely relentless and interesting to listen to. Makes me feel like I'm in an advert for a certain shoe manufacturer. . .

Soul-Jazz's flawless comp of early 70s jazz-funk-psych-samba from Brazil. Like reggae, it has an infectious sense of rythym perfect for runners.

And a little of the kosmich for those who aren't afraid of a little experimentation whilst they leap along pavements.

Prefer my own Fall comp, but that can't be bought on Amazon - this is OK though, but I have to be careful not to burst out laughing to Mark's ranting delivery and humourous asides.
