Your Personal Soundtrack

I've been listening to the first batch of 25 Blue Note SACDs from Analogue Production. These are fantastic.

I find that I can read with much more concentration when the music has no vocals, so jazz gets a fair bit of my time lately. Just finished the Stieg Larsson trilogy - whoa, what a ride.

Regards,

Generally I enjoy classical music for the solo piano in the mornings, classical music for the orchestra in the early evenings, and jazz for small groups and vocalists during the day, mostly as background for other activities.

This is all subject to mood and occasionally I'll listen to some folk music, blue grass, and pop vocal.

Sunday A.M. - Gospel Bluegrass; Bluegrass; Alternative Country/Americana.

Reggae or some upbeat Pop or Rock - for Working in the house

Wehn writing/working where concentration is important - Smooth Jazz or Classical; or some other non verbalizing audio.

Dinner time - contemporary jazz; Jazz vocalists

Just for fun - Blues; Folk; Country; Various Jazz; Alt Contry; Alt Rock..

When angry - metal; hard Rock.... loud... but usually on a second or third system.

Falling asleep..."Stars of the Lid" a station I set up on Pandora named after the duo's band. Evenings..."What Your Soul Sings" another Pandora station named after a track by Massive Attack.

Hope you will check them out.

Reggae is great while trying to get things done around the house. Bob Marley or compilation cds to keep away monotony.
