Soundtracks as background music

I tend to prefer working with some sort of audio in the background. My only frustration has been finding music that’s low-key enough to not be distracting, but still interesting enough to make it worth listening to.

I picked up the Halo 3 soundtrack the other day, and after listening through it a couple times I’ve started searching for additional soundtracks — game or movie — to add to the collection. I was really impressed with how well it fit into my workflow without providing any distraction.

Does anyone else have any favorite “background” music?

    Not soundtracks, but very cinematic music:

    • Explosions in the Sky
    • Sigur Ros
    • Mogwai
    • Godspeed! You Black Emperor
