It's quiet out there on the frontier, so it's good to have something to listen to while exploring unless you like the silence. I personally think drone and ambient music really fit exploration because it can really reinforce the atmosphere of being alone in the vast openness. I'm wondering what you other explorers like listening to whilst jumping from system to system?
What do you listen to?

i usually have pandora going in the background tuned to Deekline and Wizard, Aphrodite, or some other breaks or drum and bass station.
I still listen to all in-game audio (cranked to 11 in surround
).
At work and in my car I listen to Radio Sidewinder. They have an app so that makes my RL commute more enjoyable. My Jeep Patriot handles like a T6.
The R.S. Galnet reports are fun to listen to and some of the mock ads are hilarious. Music-wise they play a pretty eclectic mix of space-oriented tunes.
I keep meaning to send a request to have them add this song to their playlist that was released late last year...

Afraid I'm rather unimaginative for music:
Thomas Bergersen, mainly "Sun"; love the histrionics of track 14;
Jean Michel Jarre - Oxygène for when I'm picking on NPCs and feeling dramatic.

Right now - the thumps from Download and I'm 3 miles away!
I like to listen to the Space Ambient series von Andrew Rader:

Sun Ra really hits the spot for me when exploring in ED.....

That reminds me, friend of mine linked this. Works really well for me in the early hours when I'm unwinding.

If you like 80's action movies, that is.
Otherwise some good electro/alternative/goth stuff. Darker the better.

Oddly despite generally being a rock and metal kinda guy I don't feel that stuff fits with Elite.

A bit of Electric Wizard or similar tripped out doom works very well for me
Good call, hadn't even thought about some doom. Decided to look up what the dudes in dying bride were up to.
