I would suggest Void Main’s album “Deadlock” – it’s the only music I know with a programming theme as well as being mostly instrumental and made for listening while programming. It used to be available on the old mp3.com (at http://artists.mp3s.com/artists/241/void_main.htm), but MP3.com was killed many ages ago. The artist still has the album cover and the tracks available on his home page, though. Note especially “Escape Sequence” which has authentic C++ programming sounds, and “Follow the GNU” with lyrics by Richard Stallman.
