"God is an Astronaut" radio on Google Play music makes for great concentration music.

I originally found this link on the HN front page years ago and have kept it bookmarked. It's got lots of good suggestions like this. The comments on the post have great suggestions too.

Thanks for that link. I already listen to half the artists mentioned in the article, so I’m interested in checking out the others. I only recently discovered Tycho (who sound very similar to Ulrich Schnauss) while God is an Astronaut (along with Mogwai) have been on my play-list for the past decade or so. I’d also recommend minimal techno and the second wave of Detroit (Carl Craig, Kenny Larkin, etc.). I spend a lot of time listening to Warp records from the 90s. When I really need to get stuff done, I reach for Fuck Buttons (best listened to with a player capable of gap-less playback).
Post Rock in general is fantastic for this kind of stuff
