I know a lot of people study in quiet. I personally like to study with some music. I like a lot of stuff, but I have been listening to Gorrilaz lately for chill listening during studying, but I think I"m going to be listening to this guy more often.

Anyone else got any good music suggestions?

I can't study to anything with words in it, because I end up concentrating on the lyrics.

Classical all the way. Besides, classical music helps open neural pathways.

This. So a lot of Drum & Bass, Future Garage and instrumental Hip-hop.

Nice, all of that is great. Burial is particularly amazing. Posting some Zomby (sounding an awful lot like Burial).

I do't know his discography too well, the only album I know of is "Where Were You in '92?" which is an incredible album if you like old-school hardcore and early jungle. Here's "Float." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9FriS8EV ... re=related

He has a few really pretty tracks scattered across various EPs.
Digital Fauna is a favorite.

Classical music, or jazz.

I can't use headphones though... it needs to be background noise otherwise I'm too distracted and end up reading in rhythm to the music/not remembering what I read.

... Judge me, but I find club remixes to be most helpful with my productivity. e.g. I listened to Imogen Heap's Hide & Seek Roksonix Dubstep Remix on repeat for like half an hour while I worked on more job applications. A few days before that, I was rocking out to Glee's Thriller/Heads Will Roll. But usually, because I can never think of / find enough of these kinds of songs to make a decent playlist, I just do whatever is on my iPod.

Trance. Lots, and lots, of trance. But only when outlining because it's a rote organizational skill. Otherwise, those squishy earplugs for complete silence.

Sleep - "Dopesmoker" LP
Autechre - Incunabula
Trent Reznor/Atticus Ross - Social Network Soundtrack

Dany · Post by **Dany** » Wed Mar 16, 2011 10:01 am

I really like to listen to movie scores/soundtracks (with no lyrics). I usually pick slow ones, and my favorites are probably Moon and Atonement because they're relaxing/de-stressing.

Edit: Social Network is great, too!

TTH · Post by **TTH** » Wed Mar 16, 2011 12:47 pm

+1 for no-lyrics generally.

I don't like classical music, so I go with Spanish guitar music and zydeco music.

Nothing buy Johann Sebastien Bach, and maybe some Native and Asian flute ensembles

I for the most part don't like trance, but Tiestos club life podcast helps me zone in like nothing else. Its also free, and you can download a new one every week from Itunes. I would highly suggest it if you like trance or like the feeling of being zoned in to something.

A couple friends started this ensemble and it's one of my favorites for studying:
