Agree that Satie would be good in the winter riding
wave; definately
Wagner in the rotor. Mahler's 1st symphony (Titan)
would be my choice
for ridge running.

Wagner is also my music of choice for the T21 - imagine
it with a pair of speakers to make sure the local paragliders
get full benefit. The other music for the T21 is marches
- Dambusters, 633 Squadron and their ilk. Both T21s
I've seen have RAF roundels which is partly where the
feel for the marches comes from.

So many of the gliding videos have edgy pounding music
and it reminds me of DJs on the radio busy telling
me I'm having a good time. If someone is having to
tell me I'm probably not. I'm wth Nyal that the general
feel of gliding music is calm, flowing, a touch ethereal.
Some of the Bach solo cello & violin music also has
the right feel.
