Stemming from late night college days my old standby used to be the TRON Legacy soundtrack, but recently stumbled onto this great Donkey Kong Country 2 Arrangement

I don’t have any particular coding music, but my music consumption is more on a yearly cycle so depends where we are within that cycle.

For example in Feb-May I’m basically listening to the current year’s Eurovision playlist on repeat. Then from May-Jun I’ll move to my general Eurovision Bangers playlist as a way to cope and slowly come down from the high of the contest.

But if I’m feeling particularly aggro or in need of extra motivation I’ll just tell Spotify to play me a metal mix and go from there 😅

I don’t know if I could focus on work when I am jamming out to a song about drinking Pina Colada’s with my friends :D

My two most frequent listens are a combined playlist of the SimCity 3 and SimCity 4 soundtracks, and The Yes Album. If it’s not those, it’s almost certainly progressive rock of some kind. Nothing else comes close for productivity music for me.

Though really, these days I find myself working with a twitch stream in the background more often than with a playlist on.

Got into 65daysofstatic thanks to the No Man’s Sky soundtrack, so mostly their albums on repeat. Also been liking maybeshewill. I get distracted by stuff with lyrics so I tend to stick to instrumental stuff.

Oh yessss 65DoS is so good. You might also enjoy ‘God Is An Astronaut’! Pig Powder is a personal favorite.

I like some chill electronic music like Ben Böhmer or Jan Blomqvist.

The Social Network Original soundtrack is another good I like to listen to while working. TRON Legacy has always been one of my favorites as well!
