Global Underground: Cape Town: Dave Seaman

2 people recommended this item

Description

Global Underground consistently puts out great DJ compilations and, along w/Sasha and Digweed, Dave Seaman is one of the best DJ's on their label. Hypnotic beats, big crescendos, and uplifting, pounding anthems make this a must-have. Excellent for grinding out a brutal trail-ride or a serious session of pulling-down in the climbing gym.

nuun hydration tablets

Description

These things really seem to work and they taste pretty good too. You don't have to swill quite so much after you enduro sweat-a-thons. I hate having water slosh around my belly. (via Alyson)

Marware Sportsuit”„¢ Basic sleeve for iPod nano

First to recommend

Description

Marware makes my fav cases for my Nano- good construction, reasonably priced (@ least in comparison to other Nano sleeves), and good design. I like the SportSuit the best- slim form factor, control pad works well thru the plastic face, and neoprene that looks cool while protecting the nano.

Great for travel and outdoor sports.

Apple iPod Nano (old)

First to recommend

80 people recommended this item

Description

No big surpises here- I love the Nano and use it extensively in my car to listen to podcasts and audiobooks. Because I don't have a direct connection to my car stereo, the audio quality in my car is not great for music but it is fine for spoken word stuff.

The software is also good in that it remembers where you were in a track so you can skip around betweenn audiobooks w/out losing your place.

Nike Triax 35 (Super)

First to recommend

Description

This is my favorite watch I have ever owned. Great for all sorts of sports: timer, alarm, lap/split functionality, backlighting, and big display. True, it is a little odd looking but the UI is so good and it seems pretty indestructible. Highly recommended for outdoor fun. I tend to wear it w/my biz suits which I guess is not really the best look ever. But I figure that if Bill Clinton could get away w/wearing an Ironman watch, I ought to be ok in meetings w/my Triax.

Revo RE 3039 Curve Sunglasses

First to recommend

Description

My current favorite sunglasses maker. Lots of good styles. Mostly, I really like their lens quality, especially their polarized lenses- really good at cutting glare. Plus the polarization turns the sky different colors as you tilt your head- vaguely trippy effect.

Orbital 2 by Orbital

First to recommend

2 people recommended this item

Description

These guys totally rock. I have seen them live. Anyone who tells you electronic music is not exciting live has obviously not seen an Orbital show.

Orbital 2 is another classic. Less ambient and more in line w/the minimalist style of composers like Steve Reich or tribal drumming, Orbital takes the discipline of layered percussion to new places w/their powerful beats, rich sounds, and somewhat tongue-in-cheek humor.

Need to get fired up- listen to Orbital 2. Halcyon is a particularly beautiful and haunting track.

Lost Horizons by Lemon Jelly

First to recommend

Description

One of the all-time best electronica/downtempo albums. Lemon Jelly combines wit, great hooks, cool ambient elements, and great beats. Lost Horizons tends to be a very happy, positive album and you get a sense that Lemon Jelly loves to celebrate life. Ramblin' Man is a perennially inspiring song to me.

Great for long trail rides or runs, as well as those times you really just want to focus on listening to music.

The Magical Sounds of Banco de Gaia by Banco de Gaia

First to recommend

4 people recommended this item

Description

Despite the lame cover art and cheesey album title, this is an absolutely fantastic example of electronica as a complex, culture-blending, and highly lyrical (in the sense of telling an overall story w/the music, not w/lyrics per se). An arresting mix of ambient overlays and pounding beats. Excellent for a high-adrenaline or endorphin-inducing work-out trail-running or mtn biking, as well as when having to bang out an inspired power point.

This album has remained on my top 10 favorites list for years and I never get tired of it.
