I’ve been writing a reasonably complex RPG4 program to extract order/shipment/invoice information from JBA and create a spreadsheet in the IFS showing shipping percentages against various targets…
I like to have some cool background sounds on that wont distract my brain too much from what I’m doing: I have been known to accidentally start typing lyrics. I’m currently loving ‘The Books’ who I discovered courtesy of SHAZAM on a long roadtrip and loved their eclectic electronic and groovy sounds.
This morning my ear buds have been expelling sounds courtesy of:
| Track | Artist | Album | Comments |
| ALL of them | Afro Celt Sound System | All of em | Probably my favorite brand of programming music. Funky, up tempo, down tempo, electro, celtic vibe… fantastic! |
| Lots of them | The Books | The Way Out | Love this! Just a very excellent mind explosion of electronic jazzy laid back but sploshy sounds. |
| everybody cheer up song | Dosh | the last take | Happy happy |
| Food Cycles | Dosh | Wolves and Wishes | Plinky plonky with big roaring sounds. |
| Homecoming | Taraf De Haidouks | Electric Gypsyland 2 | eth eth spanish russian coolness |
| it’s because | Tung | Comments of the inner chorus | Jazzy beeeeeeeee |
| a Smile | Mike UVA | Where have you been | Me likey |
| Roads must roll | Boom Bip | Seed to Sun | Kind of Romany / Egyptian cool. a bit like the Battlestar Galactica Cylon myusic in the ship kind of vibe |
| The Phonograph | Her Space Holiday | Let’s get Quiet Vol 1 | Shhhhhhhh |
| Taking Wings | Daedelus | of Snowdonia | very groovy, English folksy thing |
| Slow Moves | Jose Gonzalez | Veneer | guitar plucky cool vibes with harmonic voices |
| No Man can find the War | Tung | Dream Brother | Head noddy and electro-smooth vibe |
| To the Shore | Bombay Dub Orchestra | Bombay Dub Orchestra Remixed | Possible fave track today. Very laid back dancy instrumental. |
| Quiet place | Working for a Nuclear Free City | Working for a Nuclear Free City | Really reminds of China Crisis – a flashback to my teenage years |
| HandBum | Weevil | Drunk on Light | I think I like this one mostly because the track name ‘HandBum’ is a bit rude and makes me chuckle. |
| My Friend T3 | Mrs Jynx | Standofish Cat | Ibizaish lo tempo groovishness. like it. |
