Looks like I might be a bit late to this conversation, however if
you're still interested. When I was going through online university a
few years ago for my BSCS - Mainly web programming, Java, PHP, and UML
etc. I'm a lifer when it comes to electronic music. The music that got
me through school and subsequently anything intense I need to do for
work I listen to a minimal techno station called www.deepmix.ru, it's a
shoutcast stream. I highly recommend it. It's not annoying and you can
let it run for hours.

my brain will switch to "analytical listening mode'.
I have found any instrumental tonal music from the early baroque up to
Mozart (not all works and Beethoven onwards tends to distract me) very
good to help me concentrate and pleasurable at the same moment. I
guess it's the 'reassuring' and 'familiar' aspects of that kind of
tonal music which (like it or not) are now hard-coded in my brain.
But I also guess there's always a personal quid to it...

http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user I don't listen to music much now, because of
consideration for
neighbours (most of my music collection is best loud) and different
music tastes to my partner.
Anyway, I'm just listening to The Prodigy's "Invaders Must Die" which
reminded me of many a time staying up all night with mates playing on
Xbox/Playstation listening to electronic IDM/DANCE/ETC music - which
is conducive to shooting people, hijacking cars, racing anti-gravity
craft, beating people up, etc. But I find it a bit too distracting
while trying to program.
Anyone have any recommendations for music good for getting them into
the frame of mind for programming?
Thanks,
James.
For me, it's any music of any type as long as it's something I know
really well so can automatically 'not hear' it if I need to *really*
concentrate.
