Music to listen to while you're studying

And perhaps the neighbours are noisy and you needed to cancel them out, or you just don't want to fall asleep.

How to categorise that?
1. Not too slow or soft or soothing that you might fall asleep.
2. Nothing and I mean nothing that can distract you, (so you should not listen to any songs in languages that you understand or can sing along to).

These are the choices given by some people:

1. Brian Eno - Music for Airports

2. Boards of Canada -- > ooh I've been meaning to get their music.

3. Sigur Ros - They make me trip. I can't use this for studying.

4. Chicane - Ooh nice... must get their music.

5. Kaskade - Nice nice... Must get them too!!

6. Cirque du Soleil - oooooo?



Someone suggested these:

• Sigur Rós - any of their albums are great, especially their b-sides/EPs
• Mogwai
• Boards of Canada as mentioned
• Haibane Renmei - "Hanenone" - excellent soundtrack to an excellent anime
• Any of the Final Fantasy Piano Collections (well, except IV and V, they're pretty unimaginative)
• Film scores (particular favorites of mine are "Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within," "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon," "Hero," "American Beauty," and "Crash")

I must say, Mac users are way cooler.... Their suggestions are good!! http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=249125

My personal all time favourite has to be JAM and Yuki Isoya (solo effort), Shiina Ringo (given to me by accident). When I hear JAM, I just want to start Xcode or pick up my notes.
