Hi, serge here; i have started to go to the gym almost daily and pursue running routinely as well. Often times in listening to trance, progressive house, techno, and electronica sets I will come across a track and it will literally send shivers down my spine and give me goose bumps followed by a shock of adrenaline that would usually last for a minute or two. To get the same feeling i usually replay the track for a while to repeat the effect... however after about 10 times it wont give me the same adrenaline rush... slightly less each time.

Thus the need for this thread. Sometimes i need some recommendations for quality tracks that will really motivate one to sprint the very last 100 meters down a 10 mile stretch, or lift that extra weight at the weightroom and such. I suppose this is similar to a "whats your favorite track thread,"... however we music addicts have listened to many of songs over and over and have grown accustomed to certain sounds or recognize certain tracks and thus they dont have the same effect on us anymore.

That is why I ask that you present your favorite track... or track that really hits you hard that is relatively new/fresh/has really been underrated or that you would recommend to put on an mp3 device while exercise or any other motivation requiring task. Thank you very much for your help in advance; motivational tracks are different for everyone and any recommendation will be very appreciated.

(post your favorite track of the week or month that you had on replay for a while and really gave you that rush)

... i know you can go on with favorite tracks and such... but i want to hear the tracks that have really given you those goosebumps lately... only a few please (your favorites that i must go and seek out wanted... i mean really blew your socks off... any genre of music)
