Artists discuss the 13 records that shaped their lives

13. Kosmischer LäuferThe Secret Cosmic Music Of The East German Olympic Program 1972-83, Volume 1

I just love the whole background behind it. I think it’s really good fun. Supposedly it’s music that was written for the East German Olympic team to train to, but I think it’s just a recent artist who has created that world. It’s an album that I put on if I need to get work done. There must be something about that bpm.
