Attention Audiophiles

Post by mac » Thu Dec 17, 2009 2:27 pm

Guys,

I'm needing suggestions for "calming" music as I'm freaking out due to an exam tomorrow that I'm not fully prepared for.

I've got some of the usual stuff - Barber's Adagio, Prokeriof(sp) Montague & Capulets along with my usual Blue Nile and some move tracks (soundtrack from 28days later - although that's not so good when you find ourself the only one in a subway carraige and the train stops between platforms)

Does anyone else have a suggestion for music that will soothe and that I can have on in the background whilst I study?

Reverse psychology... something hard and rocking. If you try to chill out, you'll just give your mind lots of time to think and you'll end up thinking about the thing your trying not to think about. Stick some Queen on and get your air guitar out. Trust me, it'll work.

Works a treat
