It's been quite a while since I posted a track, especially one that isn't a free download. But I think this one is worth the 99c or so you'll have to pay to download. Its the Omar Souleyman's remix of Bjork's track Crystalline. Its got this awesome eastern, desert nomad sound, with Bjork's crazy Icelandic manic melody. Just lovely. Plus I have to give a heads up to my pal Niall for putting this into my Facebook feed. He's got great music taste.
The BPM is 90 so perfect for a 180 SPM run. If the desert world sound isn't for you, the original version is also 90BPM.

Hip Freak
If you want to listen to all the recommendations from last month, check out this playlist on Spotify. Also I just noticed that Epitonic have put up the AlunaGeorge's track, that I recommend in the post My Every Move. Click here to start the free and legal download.
So today's recommendation is for a piece by Zoë Keating called Exurgency.
Zoë is a cellist, that uses electronic sampling to make a sort of experimental music, that sounds classical but also with some structures you'd expect in electronic dance music. I am a total sucker for anything with a cello, well except straight up classical music. I discovered her, though being a big fan of Rasputina (who's already appeared on this blog here) and she also played on Amanda Palmer's album Who Killed Amanda Palmer. I LOVE LOVE LOVE Amanda Palmer. So Zoë is one hip cello freak woman!
Exurgency has a BPM of 91, so good for a 180 SPM run.

Exotik Schweizer Musik
I haven't been posting as frequently as usual, because after coming back from a week of vacation, my internet got mysteriously turned off and it took free.fr two weeks to turn it back on again. I have internet access at work, but well I am supposed to be working at work, so not so many posts. But now everything is back up.
The other reason is that I am a little depressed about not being able to run much. Over a year ago I got a running induced stress fracture, on the cuboid of the left foot. The fracture itself didn't hurt that much, and I ran on it for a week with my foot twisted inward just slightly, which lead to a very painful case of posterior tibial tendinitis. The doctor said it takes about 6 months for a cuboid fracture to heal. That was over a year ago! My foot feels OK, and every week or two I do a test run, 4 or 5 km and the see how it feels the next few days. So far it hasn't felt good. Mostly I stay positive, after not being able to run for a long time, even little runs feel amazing! And I do a lot of MTB. But this last week or two I've been feeling a little sorry for myself again.
Well time for some music. The song in this post is Zumurud, and it is really different from what I usually recommend. Its official style is 'world'. Mich Gerber is swiss, and I'd be willing to be bet a whole lot of money his native language is German. Germans (German speakers) are really good at getting all ethnic and into 'eastern' cultures and music, and Mich Gerber, certainly is doing a great job of channeling some oriental desert musician here. The BPM is 90 so great for a 180 SPM run.
