Am I having a Deja vu?

I'm biting my tongue right now, trying very hard to stay within the site rules. Its not even a very good link. 4 mediocre playlists. Big deal. Ive been collecting electronic music for 15 years and this trance style music is quite boring and formulaic. The web is awash with much better mixes than these all done for free by professionals. Here are two you can subscribe to in iTunes (weekly podcasts) http://www.resident…

I disagree. Datassette and Com Truise are seriously good music producers themselves. And I think both of them and Sunjammer have very good taste and listen a lot of music to be able to put together this kind of compilations. Pretty sure you can't find most of what they listen on iTunes.

Matter of taste. Keep that in mind and you'll become more respectful.

My favorite programming music: Any of Brian Eno's ambient stuff The Field - From Here We Go Sublime The Field - Looping State of Mind Luomo - Vocalcity Boards of Canada - Music Has the Right to Children Boards of Canada - Geogaddi Pantha Du Prince - Black Noise Burial - Untrue

I highly approve of Burial for programming music, and have some recommendations of my own:

  Clubroot - Clubroot
  Explosions in the Sky - Earth is Not A Cold Dead Place (and everything else)
  Four Tet - There Is Love In You
  Bonobo - Days to Come
  Pretty Lights - Filling Up The City Skies
That said, I find I can listen to just about anything and program; Drum & Bass being one of my favorites to listen to. If you're feeling really adventurous and don't find anything non-ambient distracting, here is another list:

  Unquote - Reverberation Box
  Phace & Misanthrop - From Deep Space
  Calibre - Calibre
  High Contrast - Confidential
Probably too much listed here, but I'm an avid music listener (mostly of EDM); I also find that it keeps me focused when working.

Perhaps one day I'll get tired of

    Vangelis - Blade Runner OST (3CD)
but right now it's almost a Pavlovian trigger for me.

If you like that one check out 'Soil Festivities', it's one of Vangelis least appreciated albums but I feel it is his best.

Ambient has always been great for coding, a few of my favorites:

  múm - Finally We Are No One
  Dirty Three - Whatever you love, you are
  Steve Reich - Music for 18 Musicians
  Four Tet - Rounds
