Carbon Based Lifeforms - Super Seed Carbon Based Lifeforms - Tensor --------------------------- Really most CBL is good.. :) but the best albums are --------------------------- World Of Sleepers Interloper Hydroponic Garden --------------------------- Theres also artist like --------------------------- Asura Solar Fields Koan Aes Dana Sync24 (side project from one of the CBL guys) Ooze Ott ---------------------------…

I'm surprised not to see Murcof's downtempo piano-heavy work on this excellent list

I actually didn't know about him.. i'll check it out for sure !! I actually also like to listen to piano heavy stuff.. My favorite by far is Ludovico Einaudi. My favorite albums from him is "Divenire" and "In a Time Lapse". The list should be much longer :) this was just what i could remember right off the bat.

I've listened to Brain.fm since this past February, and it is truly amazing. They have Focus, Relax, and Sleep, but I've only ever listened to Focus. It's like this steady stream of some kind of electronically generated music that changes each 30 minutes. I set it to 2 hours, and then I usually take a small break when it ends. I'll turn it on and literally get into the zone immediately; writing line after line of cod…

I have also been loving Brain.fm—no other "focus music" I have tried has worked so well. If anyone here tries it and likes it, there is actually a pretty good discount on various subscription types that expires in a few hours: https://shop.theawesomer.com/sales/brain-fm-lifetime-subscri... The discounts are not actually as steep as the site claims (for example, lifetime is normally $150, not $200), but they are still…

"Lifetime" subscription? What does that mean? The lifetime of brain.fm?

I checked out brain.fm and it is really good; I enjoyed it while studying but I will not pay for it. I listen to somafm.com drone zone station and defcon station for studying they also have a variety of stations for other occasions and it is ad-free! if you like it donate! Cheers!

Funny nobody mentioned MixCloud. I love that service, much better than SoundCloud.

I'm now listening to this: https://www.mixcloud.com/mirtakinex/veek-luxal/

I totally recommend exploring different genres for coding:

- Ambient

- Deep house (non vocal)

- Dub techno ( https://www.mixcloud.com/joaquinjimenez/ )

- Techno

- Liquid drum and bass (or other sub genres)

Or just dig to my favorites :) https://www.mixcloud.com/szasz/favorites/

Do they have any examples of what it sounds like that I can hear without creating an account?

Yes, you can use the trial: https://brain.fm/app?v=0000#!/trial

Just started listening to it. The Focus tab so far sounds like a simplified version of music by early electronic composers of the german school: Klaus Schulze, Tangerine Dream, etc.

Thank you. Tried it out, liked it a lot (felt improved from when they first launched), viewed the regular pricing and was trying to justify it... then found your link. Just purchased!
