Techno's nice, but I prefer this kind of thing for when I'm making something. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kDTovW5Pb2w http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kDTovW5

  Ha, really? I skipped through that video 30 seconds at a time, and it was just noise and someone hitting some random (sounding) keys on a piano to me. Totally distracting. Funny how different people's tastes are. I wonder where they come from. For comparison, here's[1] a song I love to listen to while coding, mostly after about 1:45 but especially at the 3:20 mark.

    (Also my first listen). The piano repeats exactly the same 4 clusters over and over. I wouldn't call that random. It's soothing to me after giving it 60 sec in the background. Skipping ahead 30 sec at a time is definitely a sign you don't like something. What are you hoping to find at the end? :) Anyway, you're right. Artistic taste is personal. Sometimes I think the majority of our judgment is more about avoiding turn-offs than really feeling something new. Your link sounds nice to me at those times, too.

  To each their own, ambient is the last thing I want when coding.

  Beautiful. It's interesting that some (like me, and it seems like, you) want music to invoke calm while working, while others want to be energized, or even made to be a bit tense. I wouldn't be surprised if there were a reasonably simple neurochemical explanation. Pounding, building music makes uses one change, calming music makes another, and who needs what depends on your existing chemistry.
