Great, but the one sample of the woman going "I shouldn't!" over and over is pretty distracting.

beautiful! but how does it work? can we look at the source without decompilation?
No unfortunately not. Maybe I'll put it on my GitHub soon. I was thinking maybe I'd find some way to make money on this, so I haven't released the source yet.
As to how it works, internally there's a modular data processing pipeline. I wrote a number of modules that serve a specific purpose (sine wave, square, etc, and reverb, gain, etc). They all get connected together in a driver class. Each driver makes heavy use of random numbers. Those in turn decide the notes played and durations. The durations are extremely short, leading to a granular synthesis of sorts. The notes are chosen from classes I structured around standard chord theory and classical modes.
I have an unreleased version that processes mic input, but it's not ready for prime time yet.
Edit: I decided to release it, probably under AGPL license. Keep an eye on this page: https://github.com/hollingsworthd/ApplPi

It depends on my mood. I find productive music to almost always lack vocals. I will list some artists and their respective albums, of the top of my head. (subgenres) Many of these artists have great discographies. Electronic 1. Glenn Underground - Atmosfear (house) 2. Aphex Twin - Ambient Works 85-92 3. Moby - 18 4. Space Dimension Controller - The Pathway To Tiraquon6 (soul-house) 5. Boards of Canada - Music has the…
Thanks for this list, I went through everything you listed and found a few new albums which fit my coding music tastes. Along the the same lines as fumar's suggestions, I recommend: 1. Music from Braid (yes, the video game) 2. Black Swan (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) 3. The Social Network Soundtrack
Inception OST is insane too.
Live long, Hans Zimmer!
