I have no problem generating focus, but there are some albums I listen to while I’m working that just seem to carry me along, weightless, rhythmic, and hyper-focused. According to my iTunes play counter, they are:
- All Hour Cymbals, Yeasayer
- Oracular Spectacular, MGMT
- De-Loused in the Comatorium, the Mars Volta
- Takk…, Sigur Rós
- Security, Peter Gabriel
- Two Conversations, the Appleseed Cast
- Tao of the Dead, …And You Will Know Us By the Trail of Dead
- Feels, Animal Collective
- A Weekend in the City, Bloc Party
- The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway, Genesis
I’m fortunate to work in an environment that doesn’t restrict things like music, but that just means I end up on Facebook or Google Reader more often than I should.
