This has recently become my favourite song. It's so emotional and beautiful. Maybe it just hit me at the right time, but 2:30 onwards really sweeps me off my feet.

That's post rock for ya. If you like the more melodic kinds, like EITS you should check out God Is An Astronaut and Burn The White Flags Slowly. But my favorite bands are the more slower and "epic" ones i.e. Yndi Halda, Evpatoria Report and Godspeed You! Black Emperor. Then there are the classics, Mogwai, Slint, Tortoise and Sigur Rós.

Thanks for the recommendations. I've heard of Mogwai and Sigur Rós. I'll be sure to expand my collection of this genre now

Best music for cubing?

I apologise in advance if this has already been discussed but i have not found it when i search- anyway i am wondering what the best music for the best performance speedcubing as i want to improve my times any ideas?

 

[Rubiks560]

Listening to music isn't going to make you faster.
But I like to listen to rock/metal.

 

[Magix]

Absolutely personal preference. Some people do good with music, some people get distracted. People like different types of music, there is no way of determining the best style that would fit with cubing.

Just listen to something that you like, something that relaxes you, helps you focus. For some people that might be death metal, for some it might be classical music.

If music could really improve performance, I'm sure we'd know about such things.

 

[Magix]

Music is known to help you concentrate

More concentration = better results

But that doesn't mean that everyone has to listen to one specific song and will get 50% faster times all of a sudden. : D

Something up beat and fast, good examples would be techno, some faster rap, some rock/metal, some current hip-hop (most popular music in the U.S. currently...) I prefer metal like disturbed/mudvayne, the rapper Tech N9ne. Just experiment till you find something that suits you.

 

[Vinny]

Yeah I listen to metal, mostly Protest the Hero. It doesn't really do much, I just like to tell myself it helps.

 

[Dylan]

Im going to buy some techno off itunes .

 

[Magix]

Generally, if you listen to music regularily, you know what you like and what will help you with solving.

If you don't listen to music regularily, it's not going to help you with cubing anyway.
