Can you give some examples of the "ambient spacey" music? Video game music too? In other comments: If you listen to music can you list some on youtube we can grab? By the way, if you're music mac, bsd or linux, you can use Youtube-dl to download youtube / video site music: pip install youtube-dl youtube-dl --extract-audio --audio-format mp3 <url>

  This sounds nice. So this bandcamp site, is it like an indie itunes? I notice you can sample the whole song without paying. I use soundcloud is good for free music. I'm kind of thinking it'd be nice to have a monthly what are you listening to while working thread.

    Bands on Bandcamp usually pay more for their equipment and concerts than they earn from it. Those tiny independent bands are the most honest bunch of musicians you can find who do music by themselves and for the sake of music -- not for the sole purpose of generating revenue. There are people in there who rehearse in their own basements and who pay with the own money for recording sessions just for you to be able to listen to it. You can listen to whole songs on Bandcamp because they want you to hear their music and they want you to enjoy it. That is the most important aspect (in contrast to these money-making, oppressive, DMCA-take-down-wielding music giants). If you don't like it, move on with your life. But if you like their music, consider tossing them a few dollars. It's a better investment than anything else related to buying music. Support the music you like! (Or there won't be any left of it...)

QuantumRoar's reply is pretty well-aligned with what I do for space music. I usually just grab random playlists on Youtube for "space music." As for video game music, I'm currently partial to Assassin's Creed and Deus Ex: Human Revolution. And when it comes to the intersection between the two, music from the Myst games is good.

A nice intro would be some of the channels over at http://somafm.com/ http://somafm.com/ particularly Deep Space One, Space Station Soma and Drone Zone.

My favorite ambient music for working is by Lucette Bourdin: http://www.lbourdin.com/ http://www.lbourdin.com/ Some free downloads here: http://relaxedmachinery.com/earthmantra/artist-detail.php?id=17 http://relaxedmachinery.com/earthmantra/artist-detail.php?id... CDs can be bought at: http://darkduck.net/ http://darkduck.net/ I think her work strikes a nice balance -- it sounds nice when I'm actually listening, but most of it is easy to tune out when I want to focus on something else.
