I've found Music for Programming's mixes to be pretty good.

Dream Chimney's mixes on soundcloud also.

In general, something classical, ambient, or minimal techno fits the bill.




Hope it's OK for me to take the chance to plug my own ambient noise mixing app:

I find ambient noise (at a low, safe volume) to be helpful for concentration.


Oh awesome, I sleep with this on in the background most nights.


Music for Programming has some interesting stuff, but personally, I need to systematically avoid anything with lyrics to have a hope of being productive while listening.


...?

I could be wrong, but the vast majority of MfP doesn't have lyrics. It's all atmospheric, vague, kinda droning music.

Groove Salad / SomaFM or Digitally Imported / Chillout Channel.


I use http://focusatwill.com/ and it helps increase my concentration.


http://noisli.com is really great. Mix your own ambient sounds.
