Trance, but it has to have no lyrics.

Nothing annoys me more than hearing some beautiful tune get absolutely ruined by some cheesy gay lyrics about stay by my side sweet darling I miss you oh oh oh. It's amazing how many trance producers turn 5 star instrumentals into 1 star pop bullshit.

Give it a boost, listen to Rage Against the Machine or System of a Down  Smiley

Rage, SOAD, Nightwish.. the harder the better. "redrum radio" on live365.com is what I tend to go to, or a local radio station site for something a bit lighter, sonic1029.com. The faster the music goes... the faster I type. And louder, but the music is usually too loud to hear that.

Yeah, the faster and harder the music goes the more i like to work.  Smiley

Most music will distract me if I listen to it while trying to program, so I usually go for things without vocals. Just lately, I've been listening to NIN's Ghosts I-IV and Maserati's Inventions for the New Season a lot. They seem to be a good mix of energy and ambience.

The "Ghosts" albums are great...very minimal, I purchased the CD set on release directly from the NIN site.  Once you have listened to all of them a few times listen to the "Social Network Soundtrack" you will hear so much that was taken directly from Ghosts.

No music here, I prefer TV on in the background.  Usually BBC news 24 or sky news, although getting a bit bored with it at the moment with all the talk about Rupert Murdoch here in England currently.

I keep my entire library on shuffle, it's a lot of random stuff.

Anything chilled out.

I always bite my nails when coding too, so I try to chew chewing gum...

I usually put 'Death Cube K - Maggot Dream' on repeat for like 12 hours.

or 'John Frusciante - Before The Beginning'


to many words in the music and I get distracted.  

Also, if I stick to just a few songs I really like and put them on repeat I dont jam out too much

Psychedelic Trance, in all it's sub-styles, but mostly stuff like Azax Syndrom, Bliss, Penta, Rinkadink, Shift, etc.

But i guess you probably figured that out, based on my forum username  Grin
