That is strange. I like the song though, thanks for passing it along. Like one of the other commenters, I will be testing out its effects.
Do you think if you listened to the song every day, or 3 days a week, or something, the effect on your productivity or peace of mind would dwindle? If not, do you plan to continue listening to it a disproportionate amount relative to other music?

In case anybody asks how I was able to research and write two posts from scratch today:
It’s largely because I’ve had Ray Lynch’s ‘The Oh of Pleasure’ on continuous repeat ever since 7am, without a break.
(I’m so not kidding. Ask Jasen Murray.)
If this actually works reliably, I think it is much more important than anything in either of the posts you used it to write—why bury it in a comment?
I don’t know if it’s the song or the placebo effect, but it’s just written my thesis proposal for me.
Congrats!
Well there’s a piece of music easy to date to circa Blade Runner.
Maybe tomorrow I will try the Chariots of Fire theme, see what it does for me. :)
Hmmm. I wonder what else I’ve spent an entire day listening to over and over again while writing. Maybe Music for 18 Musicians, Tarot Sport, Masses, and Third Ear Band.
I just came across Tarot Sport; it’s the most insomnia-inducing trance I’ve ever heard.
I liked that song but then ended up listening to the #2 most popular song on that site instead. It provided me with decidedly less motivation. ;)
I just listened to four seconds of that song and then hit ‘back’ in my browser to write this comment. ‘Ugh’ to that song.
Just listened to it. The first minute or so especially gave an effect about as much as a strong coffee. A little agitating but motivating.
How do we know that it’s you writing, and not the music?
(Just kidding, really.)
Edit—please disregard this post

I don’t believe this is really the cause, but I’m going to listen to it at work tomorrow just in case.
