Re: Music to Code/Design by

       The best background music to play while I'm working on
       a task which requires a reasonable amount of concentration
       is instrumental, moderate speed, and usually of classical
       flavor. I found an album of Telemann's sonatas for recorder
       and harpsichord which is excellent for this purpose. These
       simple two-part numbers are pleasant to listen to when you
       want to, and serene enough to drift into the background
       when you want to. The instrumental part is important; for
       some reason, I can't block out vocals. If there's someone
       singing, I just HAVE to listen (unless they're unintelligible,
       )
       The speed is significant, too. Fast, exciting runs of notes
       have a way of being much more interesting than structure
       pointers.
