#172I tend to like stuff by Will Wood. Always good enough to not skip a song, enough variety I'm not tempted to change to something else, large enough discography to not get distracted by repeat tracks, and insightful lyrics that have "the hacker way" if that makes any sense. Also partial to wendy carlos or whatever The Current (local MN radio station that has really good taste and pulls some deep cuts pretty often) play…
Minneapolitan here! Just had to agree that The Current is a treasure. For the benefit of others, you can stream it here, if you're curious: https://www.thecurrent.org/
Not revealing where I live, but I'm not too far away from there myself ;)

Agree about the lyrics. Phillip Glass is one of my favorites for flowing. His style usually involves a lot of repetition, which I find meditative.
Steve Reich is my favourite of the minimalists. Electric counterpoint and Music for 18 Musicians are regulars in the line up.
Yes, Music for 18 Musicians is such a wonderful companion for sustained focus. I look forward to checking out Electric Counterpoint more closely.

#174In the morning I listen to chill electronic music without lyrics: Tycho, Emancipator, Blackmill, Jon Hopkins Later in the day I listen to more energetic electronic music (a lot of which is from the Hotline Miami soundtrack): M|O|O|N, Dan Terminus, Carpenter Brut, Daniel Deluxe, 1788-L, Pendulum
For me it's the soundtracks to Deus Ex (basically all the games), Mr. Robot, and Halt and Catch Fire.
That is so specific, I can't believe there is someone else out there that flows to Deux Ex. I've had whole sessions with Human Revolution on repeat.

The Moebius FM and Frequency channels have many nice long mixes.

#176I listen to psytrance. Mostly full-on. It usually does not have any vocals and has a groove or beat. But nothing really surpasses silence for thinking.

#177I survived my Microsoft internship in 2001 by listening to Weezer blue, pinkerton, green album on a continuous loop.

I vary a lot but when I do classical music Mozart has occupied quite a lot of my stats, in particular a clarinet concerto by Katherine Lucy [1] and also things like Beethoven's 6th (pastoral, it's beautifully featured in Fantasia) or Grieg's morning mood. - [1] https://open.spotify.com/album/1R6rh9My8CTK4DqZorJR0V?si=3Ct... If you have specific song/interpretation recommendations I'd love to hear them.
I've really been enjoying this series of Mozart concertos on Alpha, highlighting young(er) performers: https://outhere-music.com/en/collections/next-generation-moz...
Thanks. This Is awesome

#179The soundtracks for SimCity 3000, 4, and the 5th one titled just "SimCity" are written specifically to be played while doing some fiddly micromanagement tasks.
Which brings us to: SpaceChem's soundtrack.

#180For me nothing beats 90s ambient dnb for coding. There's something about drum and bass that really gets me in flow.
for me it's Liquid DnB, anything by Liquicity is amazing, especially their year mixes and the couple that Maduk did on youtube during the pandemic
