BÖC! I could hardly concentrate on work while listen to them... They make me holding my pens at the top and transform my wacom and everything I can find into a drum set :-DOriginally Posted by Coyotemax
As to the music I prefer:
If I am working on details, I never listen to music.
But for the initial ideas and major layouting, style, colour changes, etc. I usually chose a genre/band/artist harmonising with the mood I try to create.
If I stare at the country long enough
I can prise it off the paper,
lift it like a flap of skin.

Agreed, that is a serious danger! It's a hazard i'm willing to brave though!
I'll admit lately I've switched to Alan Parson's Project though. I Robot, Stereotomy, Turn of a Friendly Card, Ammonia Avenue.. The older stuff.
(yes! I'm working on a map right now, and not the new york one either.. I'll be checking with the client soon to see about posting WIP's..)

That's a good choice though - I could listen to 'The Raven' for hours ;-)

I often listen to the LOTR soundtrack while working. Another good one is Inception.
