Music Suggestions

[Cuddlefish]

So, I'm looking for some suggestions for music to listen to while I'm writing. I'm looking for stuff without prominent lyrics, and maybe a little ambient as long as it's still actually musical. This is what I usually listen to: C418 and Geinō Yamashirogumi's Akira OST. They are both pretty varied, so try to give a few songs a listen to get a good idea of what they're like. I'm just getting a little tired of the same two artists, but haven't found anything else that is suitable. Any suggestions?

Lawrence Welk in the Youtube Doubler with Godspeed you Black Emperor.

Trust me on this one.  You're write until you pass out and crash.

That's actually something I would enjoy.

You're not going to believe me: Nine Inch Nails, "Ghosts I-VII". It's all instrumental. It's how I cranked out 30 Days of Eris.

Oh, my... Godspeed You is... exactly what I was looking for. Thanks SO MUCH for the awesome suggestion.

I'll check it out after practice tonight.

Isis has some vocals but it's like 40 seconds of vocals in a ten minute song. You might dig them. Agalloch is good for that sort of thing also.

You won't understand the words: DakhaBrakha. They're from Ukraine, and they're amazing.

Ulver: Silence teaches you how to sing.

Just so you all know, I've been checking out everything here. While all of it is good, the only stuff I listened to that really fit the bill was Godspeed you. The nin stuff suggested by lmno was pretty good, but had some parts that really pulled me out of my creative headspace. That said, I'd check out more suggestions if anyone has any.

Bill Laswell, Version 2 Version.

Metallica's "Call of Cthulu" on repeat until you find out the real reason Cliff Burton crawled under that bus on purpose.

DFHVN. (aka Deafheaven)

Has some black metal-style vocals in spots but again, a minute or two of vocals in a ten minute song.

Also Wolves in the Throne Room might fit the bill.

Nice list of bands! That's made for some fun exploring. Along the lines of the OP, although possibly too distracting, is the band Hovercraft. One of those Godspeed You! pieces I just heard reminds me of them. I think I would find them too much, but then again, I listen to drum & bass when working.

So, I've been listening to the 'Undertale' soundtrack. Not sure why, but I can write like lightning when this is on. Hell, anything I do while listening to this becomes less like work. Even work. Dunno why... My favorite bit is at 3:21
