My "quiet study CD" was the Edward Scissorhands soundtrack :)D), but any Danny Elfman score is nice to listen to. :)

gregor and zannaz - do you like Hum? no one here ever seems to know who they are, including utopia and red eye, but i could find their stuff easily enough two years ago when i couldn't afford it...

Heard of them, but haven't heard enough of their music to make a real judgement on them. What songs would you recommend?
