I think his soundtrack to Scorsese's Kundun is also excellent programming background music, I've listened to that soundtrack from beginning to end countless times.

Music in 12 Parts is one of my favourites for coding.

Ha. I was once on a street corner playing a copy of his 'Passages' record (with Ravi Shankar) when a stranger walked up to me and fondly recounted spending an entire summer digging holes with a crew to that record.

It seems that there may be a quality to his music that makes it well-suited to working.
