Music to Work To!

General
Finding the right mix of music to work to is an on-going and ever changing list for me. For those who are working on anything this morning and might like some suggestions, I thought I would offer up a brief listing on some of my favorite tracks to throw on.
The trick, for me anyways, is to find [or make] a long playlist of music that is inspiring to listen to, but not too intrusive. I've found that if I make myself select one song at a time, my train of thought and general rhythm get derailed completely and I lose my focus too quickly...
Braid OST - The soundtrack to the game Braid is simply the best. There's ups and downs and it feels like a 1.5 hr emotional journey.
BT's Skylarking - Only an 11 min track, but I can easily just set this song on repeat and work. Simply a gorgeous, uplifting track.
BT Mixgasm Pt 1
BT Mixgasm Pt 2 - I'm actually more partial to part 2 of these hour long mixes. There -are- some tracks with repetitive lyrics that occasionally feel intrusive and get skipped, but for the most part this is a very reliable mix to just throw on.
Juno Reactor - Bible of Dreams
Juno Reactor - Labyrinth
Juno Reactor - Inside the Reactor - Working on expert mode! Juno Reactor has a super cinematic feel [to me anyways] and I usually throw these albums on when I'm into something more action oriented...or if I've had a bad day at work and I want something that feels more dark and moody.
