Miles Davis - Kind of Blue Dont even listen to jazz normally but the absenece of lyrics is great for studying
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.
- 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.
None. Can’t study to music.
