Title: Music Recommendation - Something to help get me through hours of reading
Post by: Forgotten Ancient on May 07, 2008, 01:29:05 AM: Summer I semester is here, and with it comes an 83 page article about Cable TV Franchising as well as multiple chapters on the effects of excise and sales taxes on consumers and suppliers. My eyes are bleeding already and I'm barely 1/4 of the way through this and it has to be done by Thursday at 9am (it was just assigned this afternoon). So...I gotta trudge through this crap quick and I need helpppppppppppppppppppp

Please god guys, do something to stifle the bleeding.

Post by: crimsondynamics on May 07, 2008, 02:07:29 PM: When I'm in your situation I avoid music with lyrics - they tend to distract me from the reading and comprehension.

If you like DJ Encore, then trance is the way to go.

It's old, but Christopher Lawrence's Trilogy, Part I: Empire gets progressively more intense and the beats hit harder the further you get into the mix. It zones me in and sets a relentless pace where I feel compelled to finish whatever I'm doing by the time the CD's over.

Anyhow, music's subjective, but for some reason this mix really helps me focus.

:lol Specifically anything by Radioslave, it's the same loop repeated for like 10 minutes at a time. But for some reason I like a lot of Radioslave's productions. I like a lot of progressive breaks when I'm zoning out.
