Trance music for running

Whenever I bother, I take a run on a treadmill at the local gym. Many think that running on a treadmill sucks, but I have a secret weapon against the teadiousness...

MUSIC
And I'm not talking any music. For my taste it's always electronic music, but what kind?
The type of songs I'm talking about, is the songs that make you forget all around you, (yes! also your heavy
breathing and tired body). Music that you really connect to, in a way that you can shut all other instances
away and just run on, like an unstoppable machine.

Now I'm not talking about your average "WOW this choon makes me wanna rock!" track, nor the "THIS TRACK
ALMOST MAKE ME WANNA CRY" type.
It has to be energic like hell, but listenable, not too minimalistic, only teasingly.
I'm a trance guy, yes, I can do some psy or prog, but basically and mostly I like trance. Ranging from
From Jam X & De Leon, Prodigy to Schpongle, just as long as it's trance.

For me to be able use the music as a driving force whilist jogging/running, the music has to have melody,
a melody that makes you want to continue exhasting yourself, with a theme/melody that's interesting enough for you to keep running, LOOPS from hell that fry your mind like a microwave should be avoided they tire you (well at least me ) mentally out.
Last but least an extremely tight bassline. The song is perfect if you can run with the bassline, when each step is one beat.
This way you don't have to concentrate on the running part, only to follow the beat as it takes you miles away....Or just around the block

If anyone is actually collecting songs like these for themselves to put on their portable music-player
(they range in so many formats that I don't bother listing them all okay ?),
then I would really like to hear the suggestions of tracks that people are using...

Anyways, here's a list of my running music:
Prodigy!
They (Liam at least) have some of my favourites so far.
I blew the dust of my old Music For The Jilted Generation, and WOW what did I find?
An album that dazzled me, not at least with it's fast paced pumping don't-know-what-style-anymore...
Here's the tracks I picked from it, for workouts that is:

04 - Full Throttle
05 - Voodoo People
06 - Speedway [Theme From The Fast Lane]
07 - The Heat [The Energy]
10 - One Love
13 - Clustrophobic Sting <-- greeeat! really fast paced

Other tracks:
Dick Van Nille - Outsiders
Tin Tin Out - Twm [Jam X And De Leons Dumonde Remix]

I also use a tracks from the Rave Mission series:
Formic Acid - Eternia
Trance To Dance - 155 Bpm
Alien Factory - Get The Furture Started
Greenforce - Sleepless [Vinyl-Mix]
Alien Factory - Any Time Any Place [Original Edit]
Nip Collective - Moments Of Decision
Free Jack - Sunburst

Okay, so the bottom line here, what tracks do you listen to whilist running/jogging?

Paul van Dyk - Vorsprung Dyk Technik
DJ Tiesto - Summerbreeze
Ferry Corsten Live @ Innercity

The Digital Blonde - Legato is great, because there are no boring parts to the song. Especially in between the two breakdowns.. that's the best part of the song, when that part gives you that extra motivation.. like a mission, journey

hmmmm....let's see:

1. Cosmic gate - Exploration of Space
2. DJ Tiesto - Millenium Strings
3. Voodoo & Serano - Blood is Pumpin'
4. Gouryella - Ligaya (Original Mix or Airbase Remix)
5. Gouryella - Gouryella (Original Mix)
