It's not a distraction,  just the opposite.  Any familiar music serves to
quiet the parts of my mind that are too restless to let me think. I suppose
that IS a distraction of sorts.
And while the album of choice is by no means quiet nor simple, after 35 odd
years of repetition,  there is a Pavlovian response now. My brain
recognizes the sound and prepares for a specific task, much as hearing
"We're off to see the wizard" might lead a person to skip instead of walk.
I thought this over while driving to work today, and listening to 2112. I
also found a way to simplify some code I wrote last night, quite by
accident.
Interesting topic.
