Nice tracks!

Art of Noise, “Close to the Edit”:

Child of the 80′s. Can’t help it!
But words usually trip me up when I’m trying to focus, so my preferences while making things tend toward the instrumental, and frequently minimalist songs and composers. A couple that spring to mind are:
Penguin Cafe Orchestra, “Telephone and Rubber Band”:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZygIVDql8Bk
and “Perpetuum Mobile”:

Of course Philip Glass and “Koyaanisqatsi” need to be mentioned (especially “The Grid” sequence – about 0:44:15 in)…though maybe this is better described as “music for things falling apart.”

I love that ZZ Top song. Great playlist. I would probably add the Talking Heads song, “Found a Job”.
