What do you listen to when you're 'crafting?

There's not much else you can do whilst designing, customizing or constructing a toy except listen to music. I listen to down tempo, jazzy instrumental hip hop and breaks. Currently on my playlist:

The Cinematic Orchestra - 'The Man With A Movie Camera'
Solid Steel: 20 Years of the Broadest Beats
A Tribe Called Quest - 'The Low End Theory'
Hyde Out Productions: First Collection
King Geedorah - Take Me To Your Leader

How about ye guys?

Nice tunes guys, I see ye all have impeccable taste. Man Justice are getting damn popular. I listened to those guys a lot a few years ago but I always preferred their DJ sets rather than their live gigs, most folks will tell you that when it comes to an "anything goes, throw it all in the mix"-type set that 2ManyDJs or Solid Steel have it sewn up, not so - Justice were playing everything from Wild Child to The Knack to France Gall, Daft Punk, Goblin and even Gilbert O'Sullivan! in their sets, trully they have an all-round love for music and it shows. On top of that they started out as graphic designers, bet they love their paper toys too!
