#102i usually stream psytrance, works well for some reason :)
I went through a long Shpongle phase about a year and half ago. Great coding music, if you don't mind the heavy psychedelic feel.

Hosting seems pretty borked at the moment. And yeah would be great to be able to preview some of this without downloading a 100MB+ file...
Agreed, I didn't want to waste a hundred megabytes of the owner's bandwidth (plus the time to download) just to sample the file, so I pasted the link into a media player to stream it. However, it was not able to jump ahead in the program I used (Media Player Classic).
I made this a while back http://www.soundcloudwall.com/

I'm usually a metal/hardrock guy, but coding to that is impossible. Major le me singing and playing air guitar and air drums.

#106One of my favorite CDs for coding: Ecco the Dolphin. I'm not making it up, the CD by Spencer Nilsen is amazing, just perfect to code to. Also, the song "Water Ruins" from the video game Jet Force Gemini and anything by Opus III is excellent as well. Then there's "Just Hold On" by Jillian Aversa, and Super Metroid remixes on OCRemix, "Kindred," "Avien," and "Solitude." And I have dozens of trance CDs for coding too.

#108Side question: why do you think so many coders prefer electronic music to be productive? Based on the comments here, electronic music (whether it's ambient, trance or dubstep) appears to be the assumed genre.
1. As vishaldpatel notes, the pattern resembles meditative mantras. However the mind reacts to religious chanting, "trance" resembles that and invokes similar focus to the exclusion of other distractions. Indeed, we call the music "trance" for a reason. 2. The music does not demand attention to itself. Most other music is created with a "drop what your doing and pay attention to ME" sense, and we go to concerts and p…
Music for 18 Musicians is usually my first choice whenever I want an hour of uninterrupted productivity. The piano and mallot lines are like a rhythmic propulsion system.

#109I typically just listen to my rockabilly/psychobilly station, I can't handle the trance/techno/ambient/whatever music everybody else seems to advocate. A good Reverend Horton Heat track has a good beat and fast pace too, it's just a lot more fun for me.

#110I used to find http://musicforhackers.com/ the perfect background to coding, but they're down, and I've never worked out another source of the sort of stuff they played.
All my upvotes. I started listening to this 15min ago and it's been 100% perfect so far. Thanks!
