I prefer music you don't listen to but still gets you in the right mood or a certain shooting rhythm. Music you don't listen to is usually electronica.
At the moment I like Digitalism a lot. The song Pogo is great, it's not intrusive and doesn't get annoying even if repeated. Amongst my all time favourites are a couple of chemical brothers songs, too. House music compilations work well, too. Experience in electronic music by Forrest Funk is the best compilation I know, so that's what I'm listening to a lot whilst playing Oolite.
There are only 10 types of Jamesons in the Ooniverse. Those who understand binary and those who don't.
