Yeah I have heard Sandstorm before and I like the Heavy Trance but I'm not sure what I think about the Psi trance. That's when I got the 41 solve so I switched back XD lol

Yea, it took me a while to get used to Psy Trance. I noticed that your not excluding the best and worst solves in each average of 5. Sandstorm is a beast to listen to with bass boost during a solve. Try it again!

 

[Novriil]

I actually cube better listening to music I hate.

ME TOO!! I got 12-13 sec solve today (lucky but still) And bunch of sub-20-s that I mostly don't get.

But usually I listen to radio

 

[calekewbs]

lol i did it in the last solve. so yeah I got a nice time on that one.

 

[calekewbs]

well, I'm gonna go make some lunch. But be sure to leave some suggestions for when I get back.

Things I haven't tried yet:
Rap
Country
Polka
Hip-Hop
Disco
Songs with killer guitar solos
Insanely fast songs
Slow songs
Songs about certain topics.

give me some examples!!!

 

[JTW2007]

Cool experiment. I listen to Ratatat when I'm solving.

1. Are you serious?
2. Try speedcore or extratone.

 

[calekewbs]

hey if it's out there, i'm gonna try it. lol I'm surprised you didn't say anything about polka! or disco! klol

 

[miniGOINGS]

1. Disco is similar to Euro House and Happy Hardcore (other forms of Electronic Music).

2. I play the accordion .

 

[d4m4s74]

I think everything with a bpm slightly higher then your average tpm will help. In my case most rock tracks have the right BPM

 

[calekewbs]

lol so you would know some good polka? spill!!! lol

 

[miniGOINGS]

lol so you would know some good polka? spill!!! lol

Haha, I said I know how to play the accordion, I never said that I know any good polka songs.

 

[calekewbs]

lol darn! and yeah That's why i'm gonna try out some songs of differetn speeds. right now... DRAGONFORCE!!!!!!!!

 

[miniGOINGS]

lol darn! and yeah That's why i'm gonna try out some songs of differetn speeds. right now... DRAGONFORCE!!!!!!!!

1. Soldiers of the Wasteland all the way.
2. Maybe some TtFaF.
3. Operation Ground and Pound is pretty decent.

Those are my favourites from them, although I don't listen to DragonForce anymore.

 

[KubeKid73]

I like Revolution Deathsquad. I don't really listen to them anymore also.

 

[happa95]

Personally, I think the best music for cubing is mathcore, such as Between the Buried and Me, Protest the Hero, and The Human Abstract.

Interesting choice.

 

[anythingtwisty]

I listen to the killers or 2pac.
