What music do you listen to while mapping?

[Blindkingofbohemia]

Stuff like 'The Dawn' by Dreamtale, to Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin =D

Well, while mapping I enjoy some norwegian "quasi-jazz" like Jan Garbarek or Nils Petter Molvær.

But I could also listen to the non-lyric songs of artists like Nine Inch Nails or VAST. Despite their reputation, they can make very moody and atmospheric songs which enhance my world-envisioning capabilities.

I listen to trance/techno or folk/melodic metal

Lets start this up again. It's time for some new track rotations...
I signed up for a spotify account (new to the USA market) and I didn't like it. Played & displayed ads everywhere.

Here's some gems you might like.

Oddly...I tend to turn on Fleetwood Mac radio on Pandora.

I have an EXTREMELY wide range of musical taste and like to have iTunes set on random shuffle. I never know what I'm going to get from one moment to the next. Mike Oldfield one minute, Public Enemy the next, then Johnny Cash, and then maybe some Nine Inch Nails. I'm very erratic like that.

Mumford and Sons is probably my favorite newer band.

Mumford and Sons is probably my favorite newer band.

I've been into Mumford and Sons lately too! I don't do much mapping, but when doing it (and writing, for that matter) I tend to enjoy more "epic" music, like E.S. Posthumous, or Paul Oakenfold... Movie soundtrack such as LOTR, Last of the Mohicans, Pirates of the Carribean, or Braveheart are great too. Anything melodic and relaxing yet inspiring. I also like listening to classical music while mapping: Beethoven, Bach, Giuseppe Verdi, Haydn, Mozart, etc.

[Veldehar]

The Legendary Pink Dots, writing and mapping, are a common choice.

Except for the Public Enemy bit your playlist sounds a lot like mine I only ever put mine on random shuffle with the headphones on...or else my wife busts in every few minutes with a "what the hell's that" look.
