"melodramatic, over-produced, formulaic and not forward-thinking music"

Haha. I do see much of that. Although I can't say it's always bad. What's your take on this track? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U80l-YzcGsQ

Liking this stuff you linked. I know what you mean by some music being too attention-grabbing to listen to while coding though.

I don't know, it's compelling and I do have soft spot for this kind of stuff, but I find it as "melodramatic, over-produced [and] formulaic" as anything on Anjuna. Sometimes I'm in the mood for that, but it doesn't satisfy me at all intellectually. It's like candy: tastes good while you're eating it, but doesn't feed the body like food or the soul like a warm cup of tea. I think in this analogy, programming music should be like gum or a cinnamon stick!
Thanks for the response. I was hoping you would slap it with the labels you mentioned earlier. It means I'm not crazy! I like the analogy as well.

Thanks for the replies, and the music. Have a good one.
