What do you listen to at work or while focused on something else?

I listen to a decent amount of synth and electronic music. My favorite in this genre has been Mort Garson’s Plantasia, which feels like a soundtrack from a lost early-PC-era point-and-click.

Some other favorites:

A Rainbow In Curved Air - Terry Riley
After The Heat, Apollo Atmospheres and Soundtracks, The Pearl - Brian Eno
Suddenly, Swim - Caribou
Crystal Cult 2080 - Legowelt
New Energy - Four Tet
Promises - Floating Points, Pharaoh Sanders - this one is ethereal. I love the atmosphere in it.

Probably I lean towards music without lyrics so I can focus on what I’m doing.

What are your favorites to listen to when working (or at least doing something else if you don’t listen to music at work)?

Not so much for work but I do listen to a lot of ambient. - Ken Jan. 22 11:13 PM
