Ask HN: What are the top 5 albums you listen to while hacking?
- danneu 15y agoWell, here's all of BBC's Radio 1's Essential Mixes since 1993: http://soundcloud.com/das-boy/sets/essential-mix/ http://soundcloud.com/das-boy/sets/essential-mix/ Pretty huge. As far as hacking goes, you can't really beat a 1-2 hour long seamless mix.
- bigohms 15y agothanks for this. bookmarked
- redrory 15y ago"Give Up - The Postal Service"
- jackkinsella 15y agoThe Field - From Here We Go To Sublime Minimal electronic album that places you into a rhythmic trance, yet doesn't distract your attention away from the task at hand.
- keiferski 15y agoH.u.v.a. Network - distances. Think space ambient music with an imaginative beat.
- achompas 15y agoI'll throw in some soundtracks: Deus Ex (thanks @_danilo), Machinarium, and The Social Network (and Reznor/Ross's new tunes for Girl With The Dragon Tattoo...and Ghosts). and for some other instrumentals: Andrew Bird's Useless Creatures, any non-vocal track by Broken Social Scene, Nosaj Thing (anything he makes, really), and James Blake.
- bartonfink 15y agoInfected Mushroom - Converting Vegetarians Anything by DJ Decryption, he does intellectual rap that's interesting to listen to. Pink Floyd, specifically the Gilmour stuff.
- OWaz 15y agoIt All Falls Apart - The Sight Below. Skulltaste - Mux Mool. World Class Listening Problem - Don Caballero. Hitman soundtracks by Jasper Kyd. I came across The Sight Below and Mux Mool from the excellent ISO50 blog. Browsing for music through the site can be a real time-sink but you'll definitely find something new. http://blog.iso50.com/category/music/ http://blog.iso50.com/category/music/
- ja27 15y agoLord of the Rings and Last of the Mohicans soundtracks and almost anything from Apocalyptica.
- starter 15y agoTrent Reznor's "The Social Network" from the movie.
