Beautiful.

It's interesting that some (like me, and it seems like, you) want music to invoke calm while working, while others want to be energized, or even made to be a bit tense. I wouldn't be surprised if there were a reasonably simple neurochemical explanation. Pounding, building music makes uses one change, calming music makes another, and who needs what depends on your existing chemistry.
