To concentrate, I use computer game soundtracks (e.g. from Humble Bundle; particularly the one with Eufloria and Waking Mars), and to drown out voices of coworkers whose volume dial got lost in the laundry, text-heavy music in a language I don't understand (alternating between Czech hip-hop and Finnish hummpa).

I regularly the Fez soundtrack by Disasterpeace, and musicforprogramming();[0] has quite a few ones (esp. 06 and 08) that "just work" with my brain and make me zoom right into the zone in seconds. Also, This Binary Universe by BT.

Yay for musicforprogramming. I listen to their mixes quite frequently.

I wish they'd do a 24 hour mix that omitts vocals and sharp sounds altogether, that'd pretty much be the best ambient music I could imagine.

Agreed. (The Sims 1 Build Mode Tracks/Skyrim OST/Skyrim Atmospheres CD) + RainyMood. Done and Done.
