feel guilty about doing 2 hours in 2 weeks off.
stop it i say!

or the microphones, Air is a good one or Night Ripper on repeat for some reason makes you really productive.
boo revision. ):

along those lines, how about boards of canada, god is an astronaut, four tet et al... sigur ros also tends not to intrude too much, cos the words dont make any sense so as not to derail your train of thought...

as i say i listen to everything from mogwai and mono to 65daysofstatic and pelican when working.

Stars of the Lid
Message to Bears
Goldmund
Balmorhea
Gregor Samsa

please?

by Jonny Greenwood does the trick.

listen to Geogaddi by Boards of Canada a lot, especially when revising for maths exams.

Scholastic Deth
Charles Bronson

PRAM I would wholeheartedly recommend for this purpose of revision, which I have thus far not got round to. Good luck to us all.

Here's a muxtape that I made to do my revisings. It's not so... ambient. More... fun.

It does feature Mark Lawrenson! And the voice of David "Salad Fingers and Jerry Jackson" Firth! Plus I made reference to "Rudebox" by Robbie Williams in the title. Enjoy.

*misses the muxtape thread with style*

boards of canada (as others have said)
the octopus project

'cause then I'm not distracted by singing/playing air instruments and I don't end up writing the song words in the margin.

Xiu Xiu and Architecture in Helsinki

oh and occasional spurts of I'm From Barcelona when I need waking up.

the microphones now- think i need more high tempo. obv boards of canada is my favourite music ever. stars of the lid i often listen to to sleep. gregor samsa - beautiful but words. i really want to check out johnny greenwood - just trying to find it at the mo. holy fuck am seeing tomorrow night. sigur ros again - great stuff but i know it too well. spazz, scholastic deth etc. sound like they're not what i'm looking for. xiu xiu and architecture in helsinki - again too many words.

stuff like trans am / the field - more up tempo - energy giving stuff????

as it brings your heart beat down to the right level. so no drum'n'bass then...
my teacher gave me mozart. i prefer jonquil. i listened to his album 'sunny casinos' on last fm today and it was really relaxing

But I find listening to music with a good beat great when Im revising, maybe its the monotonous of it. So I like Simian Mobile Disco or Daft Punk, just on quietly.

Alternatively, Portishead and Kraftwerk are both great.

If you want more relaxed stuff, classical music is always good, the There will be blood OST is beautiful, or I really like revising to Devendra Banhart or Bright Eyes-Im wide awake its morning

work for me. lovely, mellow ambient stuff, rather upbeat and optimistic too.

boards of canada
and erm, probably nothing with vocals
gorecki

Ex slowdive members form an alt-country band, record an album with lots of pretty female vocals and slide guitar. Bam! One of the best records of the 90's.

Very nice to revise to.

I revised for one set of exams to Survivor by Destiny's Child on loop. I did okay.
