Maybe there's a topic like this already, but I need some reccomendations for artists/songs that aren't too chaotic so I can do my homework and not sit in my room in silence. :S

Sometimes they're a good idea. But more often then not, their music is a little too dark for my study time, but Campfire Headphase is okay for studying I've abused that album though and need to listen to something else whilst I "hit the books."

Brian Eno is sometimes nice, but sometimes it's just a little to calm. What do you mean by "too dark" for some reason Brian's work doesn't sound that dark to me. (There's a little influence of bleak, though. But not to the extent of Boards of Canada and Christ, or even Burial.)

The Books. Or maybe not. Their music can be very distracting.. Which reminds me does anyone know any similar artists to the Books?

check out Nick Zammuto's project Zammuto, he one half of the Books.
It different from the Books but it's still just as amazing.

Seriously speaking, I can't study to any music, except some elusive minimal techno and it actually works really well. Some dub and ambient techno with similar elements works really well too. Check out some artists under the label Tresor.

That is an absolutely fantastic interview. Thanks for posting. Seriously guys, you should all read this. A great insight into the process of making improvised music.
