> Industrial, death metal, and recordings of rainfall all work just as well for me Death metal is surprisingly conducive to productive work. I mostly like music with a heavy repetitive beat and minimal lyrical content. The music I find effective drowns out surroundings and distracts the mind a bit while being very simple and repetitive so that it does not engage too much mental energy. I really like classical music but find it to be no good for programming because it is to varied and complex and so i will get distracted in appreciating the musical composition.
