I’ve been listening to Random Access Memories, an album by Daft Punk. I’ve found it quite useful for getting into a “flow” state while working, and I enjoy listening to the music recreationally, as well.
Misc:
Raiders of the Lost Ark, “End Credits” (John Williams) [orchestral]
“I Saw Three Ships”, (King’s College Cambridge) [Christmas carol]
Giants (recommended if you like Explosions in the Sky or El Ten Eleven; I particularly liked “While the Ages Steal”):
“A Near-life Experience” (Demo) [post-rock]
“The Sleep of a Laboring Man” (Demo)
“Berlin Rooftop” (Demo)
“Under The New Sun” (They, The Undeserving)
“Steps In Static Progression” (They, The Undeserving)
“The Palace Stands In Its Proper Place” (They, The Undeserving)
“Withered Life- Communal Rhythm” (They, The Undeserving)
“While The Ages Steal” (Old Stories)
“At Last, Ashore” (Old Stories)
“O’ Tide” (Old Stories)
Touhou:
“流体、ライフサイクル instrumental (Fluid, Life Cycle)” (o ben to box; miskyworks {C82}) [instrumental]
“パンザマスト (instrumental)” (o ben to box; miskyworks {C82}) [instrumental]
Vocaloid:
“echoes_teha” (声になる; HKGrecords) [trance/vocal]
“vanishing_しじみ” (声になる; HKGrecords) [electronic/vocal]
“小規模な世界の私_ぴすた” (声になる; HKGrecords) [Jpop]
Excellent Indie Album: Jim Guthrie’s Takes Time.
Metal Machine Music by Lou Reed is what to put on headphones at work when the sales guys are yammering away at top volume (yay open plan!). It is literally nothing but noise, an hour of multiple layers of feedback. Reed was quite into the amphetamines at the time, and literally intended the album as a musical version of speeding off your nut. It’s possibly one of the greatest musical trolls of all time. Of course, it’s been vastly influential with people who like horrible noise music. The whole album’s up on YouTube.
