Thanks to the iso50 blog I came into contact with this Emeralds track called Candy Shoppe. Its a beautiful blippy piece of beatless electronic music that has got some great chord changes amidst the squelches that prove to be inspirational if you can stay within the chaos of the overlapping textures (huh? - Have a listen and you will see what I mean).
I find this sort of stuff great to listen to while coding or designing - like a wall of sound but not so dense that it's rendered impenetrable. The film clip is also pretty awesome - really helps to enhance the old school analog sound. Enjoy.
