Animals as Leaders wakes up my brain like nothing else. I think my brain is vaguely aware that what I am listening to is some sort of complex puzzle, but I don't have the knowledge of music theory to crack it, so instead it's just primed for whatever coding / math tasks I'm working on that I can solve.

I've been on a Jazz kick for the past few months -- cocktail jazz, cooking jazz, lounge jazz playlists on spotify -- but it's starting to lose its effect coding.

Animals as Leaders is exactly the tangent I needed. Thanks!

Thanks for this! Cthonic looks interesting. What album would you recommend starting with?

Takasago Army is great both musically and lyrically. It is a fictional story with historical (World War II) background. You really have to dig into the translations of the lyrics to understand it though - they are in native Taiwanese dialect.
