Death Is the Road to Awe, Clint Mansell

matth2• 19 years ago

The entire soundtrack to The Fountain is pure excellence. The Last Man is my favorite track off that album, after Death is the Road to Awe. Very haunting and beautiful.

"My Red Hot Car" is one of my favorite songs. Gotta get the extended version though.

Thank you! That used to have a permanent spot on my playlist ~5-6 years ago and I had completely forgotten about it. What a gem.

rms3• 19 years ago

Kenna's new album was OK, but his first one, New Sacred Cow was a masterpiece. Definitely my favorite album of 2003.

This is the video of the first single, it was adapted from an Oscar nominated short film. www.youtube.com/watch?v=owS1coeoWEc

Explosions In The Sky - The Earth Is Not A Cold Dead Place

Post-rock is nearly ideal coding music.

altay• 19 years ago

Definitely -- Tortoise is an old standby.

The name "post-rock" feels a little absurd to me, though.

MisterMerkin• 19 years ago

Exactly. 'Post' implies it ended at some point. And that's something no one will ever agree on the when or if it has ever really died in the first place.

SwellJoe2• 19 years ago

I'm picky about my post-rock, but I like Jesu a lot, Neurosis occasionally, and Pelican OK. Most of it is just too vague and meandering...but records that lack lyrics (or identifiable ones, anyway) are best for my productivity.

ctkrohn2• 19 years ago

Great choices... I've seen Jesu and Isis live in the past month or so; they both were great.

jraines• 19 years ago

The last song I heard that really blew me away was "The Catastrophe and The Cure" by this group. I agree that it's good coding music too.

ivankirigin3• 19 years ago

Actually, I find talk of music coming up a lot in programming circles. People need to focus. Music helps them do that. Headphones as an isolation & concentration device are key to my development setup.

I just uploaded this today to share to a friend. Prepare to laugh a lot: http://kirigin.com/music/dc.html

I've been listening to Timbaland's "Give it to me" and "The way I are" for about 2 weeks straight. Normally, Autechre, Tool, Boards of Canada, AphexTwin, Radiohead, and NIN populate my playlists.

Earlier today I was listening to the new record from the New Pornographers.

Cat Stevens, foreigner suite. Something none of you have listened to and probably never will.
