Random question - Typing music? Help needed

[internetjef]

Hello all

Apologies this isn't strictly glasto related but i get all my music suggestions from here, and need some help.

As part of my job i need to do a fair bit of typing. I am allowed to listen to music but anything with any significant amount of lyrics in it breaks my concentration, or worse i start singing out loud in office or typing the lyrics in by accident ha.

Something with a decent bit of speed to it helps to get into the rhythm, but normally i prefer bands as opposed to djs/techno

Stuff like Todd Terjes last album has worked a treat but i need to expand. Caribou ok but perhaps a bit slow, Hearing some Public Service Broadcasting on radio (Go/Progress songs) could be a goer.

Any tips on some good music i can listen to to destroy the monotony of typing without losing concentration??

If its someone playing Glasto this year then double points ha

Help

When I worked in an office I found trip hop used to be a pretty good genre to type to, although that can be a little of the slow side for you

Do you like Bonobo?

You'll be knocking out 100 pages a minute.

Instrumental? Band? Quite fast? How about 65 days of static?

I find London Elektricity and Etherwood both quite good for working. Yikes! by LE is a particular go to

Excellent shout this

And you might find yourself singing along to this but just try to keep up with the drummer

I know

Listed as London Elektricity Big Band so sounds like it'll be his own stuff rather than a hospital records DJ set. Going to be all over that one

Daft punk? It's quite upbeat but not many lyrics

[themuel]

Hacienda classical? When they announced themselves I started listening to them while I worked.

Fuck 'em! Listen to what you want to listen to, and feel free to sing out loud -

 

 

as you effectively, but possibly unknowingly, mistype your resignation on to a letter headed invoice!

I second Bonobo, Sleeping At Last have lovely instrumental versions of their songs (which I think I prefer!) and City of the Sun are also good, they sound like they should be a South American or Spanish group, but they're not, good sound though

Penguin Cafe Orchestra. not strictly dance, or up beat, but I imagine it would fit in well in an office environment
