I'll add a couple:

* TRON Legacy OST

* Amelie OST (when I feel I need a change of pace, and something lighter)

Gah! I didn't know Clint Mansell did the Moon OST. Must acquire. I have been listening for The Fountain soundtrack (by Mansell) while programming - and I love it. I also just discovered he did the Pi soundtrack.

Other OST picks: Tron (and Tron Reconfigured) and Nick Cave / Warren Ellis soundtracks - particularly The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford.

Abroreal - The Flashbulb (a lot of his stuff is good)

benn's pale blue dot is a great ambient album to work to.

Thanks - I downloaded everything he has ever done and wasn't sure where to start

Both the Inception and Social Network soundtracks are excellent - check out the Batman Begins soundtrack if you get a chance - I like a lot of Hans Zimmers soundtracks and really dig that one too.
