9 Albums To Play When Doing Creative Work

Big beat electronic producers Will White and Alex Gifford only produced one full-length album, 1998€™s Decksanddrumsandrockandroll. For most people, the only familiar track is Spybreak!, which was used as the music in the lobby scene in The Matrix. But if you look up the source album you€™ll find a wealth of good songs to work to: the James Bond tribute track On Her Majesty€™s Secret Service, the funky Take California, the saucy Velvet Pants. Some of them might make you hit the skip button (360 Degrees, You Want It Back) for their rapping vocals, but the throaty Shirley Bassey number History Repeating is always worth a listen. Like TCM, this is for the energy-power folks.
