I find lyrics in music very distracting when trying to concentrate, so my go-to focus music when I need to Get Things Done is jazz. John Coltrane, Bill Evans, Miles Davis.
That said, the first album in my "Concentration" playlist is actually "Music for Airports" by Brian Eno [1]. It's ambient music from the late 70s that was actually intended to be played in an airport. It's light, airy, and awesome. It's a four track album where each track is long: 17 minutes for the first track.
If you've never heard it, give it a listen.
