I started my bedroom coding journey on a ZX Spectrum+ (BASIC and machine code) 
listening to Tangerine Dream and Jean-Michel Jarre. The music was recorded to 
cassette from CD, as our only CD player was in the lounge Hi-Fi stack. Through 
my Commodre Amiga, SGI IRIX and GNU/Linux coding years I would still listen to 
TD and JMJ to get into the 'zone'. My TD and JMJ CDs are now ripped as flac 
files on my GNU/Linux PC and played using cmus.
