Not quite ambient, not quite drone… and certainly not boring.
I write software for a living, and I'm always on the lookout for music to accompany doing that. I primarily listen to house and techno mixes, with some ambient stuff thrown in when I want a change of pace. Very high BPMs (above 130) are a no-no as it's difficult to concentrate, and some vocals absolutely ruin my thinking. A lot of the ambient work I listen to, while very pretty, simply doesn't keep enough of my brain from wandering off, or has jarring cuts between pieces of music. The Music For Programming manages a superb balance between being unobtrusive but interesting, keeping parts of my mind occupied while allowing me to concentrate. If I had one criticism, it would be that some of the music is *so* lovely that I have to note it down. The track listings included on the site help greatly with this. Overall, utterly superb. I can't wait to hear more episodes, and maybe contribute one of my own some time.Read full review »
