Britney Spears - Hit Me Baby One More Time album

 

[Volume10]

Depends on my mood - I have my mixes for whatever mood I am in at the moment. My default mix is a bunch of classical and JayZ songs that I just put on shuffle. Odd I know but it works for me.

 

[Fatbat]

Great list, I'll check em out.

Cool, there's some Brian Jones and other great house promo mixes here...

Spatula City Records

Flapjack Records

both pages have a dropdown menu with a bunch of mixes.

Trance and uplifting music. Also I don't like music with vocals when I'm working because it gets me distracted.

Exactly this. No vocals for me either, or i'll start to sing along, and that ain't pretty

Check out the album "Hold Your Colour" by Pendulum. It is freaking amazing. Great for grinding as well.

Amen to that, their best album IMO.

Other than that happy hardcore and hard dance will probably crank you up when you're falling asleep building keyword lists.

For those looking for nice trance mixed albums, check out Anjunabeats Vol.1 to 6

/Agree

Most of the time I don't like music at all because it's very distracting when I'm working. Classical or other music without a lot of vocals is good. The soundtrack from the Cirque show "O" is good.

1. Tangerine Dream

Oh yeah!

Haven't listened to them in a while. I have Underwater Sunlight which I really enjoy, but I've tried a few other albums of theirs and haven't been as pleased. Any recommendations based on that?

Any recommendations based on that?

[CPAPIMP]

I throw on a trance station on iTunes and just let it run all day in the background

 

[powell1]

I have these guys in playing in the background today...kinda interesting.

daft punk

Yeah some came on while I was in the shower and I thought -- I forgot Daft Punk!

Definitely a good one to get you pumped up and working hard without distracting lyrics. More like repetitive lyrics that enhance your OCD/ADHD tendancy to focus on one thing.

I like it. I'll have to get some.

Hence the aforementioned recommendation for jackin' funky house music. Few real vocals... it's mostly all heavily filtered repetitive stabs that come and go.

Daft Punk have composed 24 tracks for the soundtrack of the new Tron movie BTW, which should be awesome.
