  Myself, I tend to work on things that are *just* beyond my
capabilities...sometimes as a matter of circumstance, and sometimes by
choice.  This "pushes my envelope" so to speak, so I wind up learning
*very* quickly.  Of course, this also means I'm concentrating AS HARD
AS I CAN 100% of the time, often for many hours at a time...which for
me, requires near absolute silence.

  When I'm just doing sysadmin stuff or doing non-component-level
hardware, though, various types of music help a lot.

  Try these:

  - Lush
  - Enigma
  - Deep Forest
  - BTribe
  - Juno Reactor
  - Luscious Jackson
  - Bjork
