It doesn't seem as good as http://musicforprogramming.net/

I concur - although that may be because I've been a huge fan of musicforpgramming.net for years, and find it an immensely valuable tool.

That said, this HN thread has an awesome resource of other new music to listen to ..

Adam from Brain.fm here! Happy to answer any questions. :) I've been doing this stuff for a while and I love talking about it. I've contacted Giovanni, our lead neuroscientist, so hopefully he'll be able to get on soon as well. I'm a regular of HN and it's wild to see something of mine up here.

I think the AI aspect could provide some interesting additional business ideas. I guess it's just AI for the uninformed, for you it's an algorithm that follows certain principles (no abrupt breaks, constant level...). Creating playlists of songs that (when mixed together) adhere to those principles would be interesting in my opinion.

Marconi union has always worked very well for me. The weightless album in particular: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nKsEqFgKhoA

I love Nujabes too. I also highly recommend Boards of Canada: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL0fSIHcxJhECMV53Llj23...

There's so many good tracks on that album that it's hard to pick out any specifics as being better than the others. But one of my favourites would be Telephasic Workshop:

its interesting. definitely something i would use. but not something i would pay for. why not have an ad-supported version for those who care about their wallets?

Great list! Listening to "Gas", I thought you might also like Fennesz - Venice: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XWAghDS6s4Q&list=PLKtI6DyKnY... And while we're at it, just a few of my favorites: Greg Haines - Slumber Tides: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RmMDkZhl_R4 Nest - Retold: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r69TiaIE4uo&list=PLaAArUShcY... Murcof - (Ulysses, Martes, Remembranza - all great): https://www.youtube.…

Best list I found in this thread yet. Am I the only one that likes to work to (mostly) instrumental sludge metal and post-rock? ISIS — Celestial (2000) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M8XN-3YZL5Y

I work to much of the same type of music, although I tend to group instrumental post-rock/post-punk (e.g. isis, pelican, russian circles, mono) with some electronic (e.g. ratatat) and small amounts of punk (tragedy/hhig, neurosis). Compared to what I usually listen to, the brain.fm focus channel didn't do anything for me.

I'so bookmarking this thread :)

I use to listen Digitally Imported streams. It offers very fine granularity in electronic styles, like (ambient, lounge, chillout dreams, space dreams). Very nice for background music doing stuff. Also, Amethystium is very nice for relaxing.

I know you probably have more important things on your roadmap about now :), but any plans to support media keys (Pause, Skip etc...)? Perhaps using something like http://www.sway.fm/api

I still can't find anything better to program to than Nujabes. I'm going to give this a genuine shot, but Jun Seba really left his mark on me for life. I find myself listening to his albums and songs at least twice a day. I think it's because of his repetitive beats, smooth strings and soft instrumentation. There's a reason there are 10 hour 'homework' edits on youtube for almost all of his songs. Counting Stars: htt…

Saved, will go through them in upcoming programming sessions :)

I recently discovered pulse emitter and I find it really improves my flow: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0c_RBU-h2Uo
