Favorite Music While Studying

Miles Davis - Kind of Blue
Dont even listen to jazz normally but the absenece of lyrics is great for studying
 
I’m listening to the Verve Jazz Masters Catalog (~40 hours of music), as I’m not normally into this kind of music, it instantly brings the mood for learning.
Oh, and if manage to study the required 250 hours, listening for these tracks for 6 times ought to make me more classy :)
 
I always put in Charles Mingus, either Blues & Roots or Mingus Ah Um, when I needed to squeeze that one more hour of studying late at night.
 
1. Morning - Depends but mostly Amrin Van Buuren “State of Trance” episodes.
2. Evening - Celtic stuff like Clannad and Celtic Twilight albums.
3. Difficult topics - Dark Tranquillity “Fiction” or “Character” albums.
