Robert Slap - Fitness Walking, Tape 1-4 (1990)

Happy Fourth Of July! And here we have four tapes in a series released in 1990 by the good 'ol Great American Audio Corp, the Fitness Walking series. There were a number of installments, the ones here are Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced, and Expert. There are other versions that include country or big band music, but these four are all great, fast paced, dreamy electronic masterpieces by Robert Slap. You couldn't ask for anything better than this. Think of a cross between Drive and Sedona: The Psychic Vortex Experience Soundtrack. Each tape has a faster pace with a metronome keeping in time to the music to show how your walking pace should be. Needless to say, I'm considering using these myself while walking to see how it goes. I'm gonna put 'em all in one folder for your convenience. It looks a little overwhelming, but it's worth going through it all.

David Storrs - Aerobic Music Exercise (1983)

Hello again! Here's a second release I have for you today. This one's extremely rare - I've known about it for years and didn't think I'd ever see it, but here  it is! David Storrs' 1983 release Aerobic Music Exercise. This one's a bit of high paced synth music and an ambient "Cool down" track. It's great, and I highly suggest listening.

Karl Schaffner - Pagan (1993)

Here's a rare one, I've never even heard of this one before! It's always nice to discover a new Schaffner album, Here's what I think about it.

Track 1: One 2 Seven- Almost reminds me of Jam Hammer's Miami Vice theme, pretty funky synth stuff here. Very 80s sounding.
Track 2: Bluebodies - A tribal/jungle feel to this one. Pretty cool. Gets really good with guitars more than halfway in.
Track 3: Starbound - Reminds me of music from a late 1990s Playstation or N64 game. It's pretty good.
Track 4: Serpent - More tribal drums. gets a little boring though.
Track 5: Fancy Dancer - My favorite track on this release. Nice guitar work.

This is clearly not a new age album to meditate to, but a pretty funky album with some world music influences. I suggest checking it out, great background music for working and such,

Robert Slap and Steve Powell- Drive (1990)

Drive (1990)
This release isn't like any other releases from Valley of The Sun. This isn't as much of a new age release as it is a synthpop-esque instrumental album. It's a fine album.


Fun fact: Robert Slap is credited as "Bobby Slap" in this release. That makes me laugh but I don't know why.
