Man I love this subject. For me music is to code what condiments are to food. It gives aroma. It also helps me get/stay in the zone and boost productivity. Only listen to electronic music, but depending on the mood very different:

- Stressed? => ambient, glitch (like Tim Hecker) calms me down

- Unmotivated/Mind Wandering? => some old school goa trance picks me up (like Shakta)

- On a normal day => maybe psybient (CBL, Solar Fields...) or some modern progressive (Frisky radio has some good stuff)

New stuff doesn't bother me, but words/verses do, hence there are almost none in what I listen.
