Essential Focus Tracks

Whether you're cramming for finals or just taking a long road trip, focus is crucial, and this blend of electronic, modern classical, and ambient artists is designed with both relaxation and inspiration in mind. The iconic theme from Twin Peaks drifts along with a pastoral sense of introspection, as does Stars of the Lid's Lynch-inspired “Music for Twin Peaks Episode #30,” a slowly unfurling ambient daydream. Tycho's steadily pulsing “Awake” quickens the blood flow, while Jon Hopkins' “Light Through the Veins” blends soft electronics and dance rhythms to reach a thrilling peak, perfect for bearing down or drifting off in thought.
