Music Powered Writing

Sometimes I want something that will help me write. That something, is sometimes music.

The types of music that seem to help me significantly fall into two categories:

Trance music:

This is music I tend to listen to when I want to do a long session of writing. I find it can help get me into the rythmn, or into the zone, so to speak. I typically listen to http://www.di.fm/trance/

Epic music:

This is what I listen to when I want to get into a particular mindset. Namely, the mindset for writing an important, intense scene. Listening to a songs like http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jcw8JVBFBkg&feature=related or http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EptSSXNHIfg I find myself almost physically compelled to write a huge battle scene.
