I've put together some mega playlists on Spotify for different kinds of moods/play sessions. Will plonk them here in case they're useful to anyone else. It's mostly synthwave/darksynth and other electronic, with some more ambient stuff where appropriate (I didn't touch these genres until playing his game!
). Generally avoids vocal elements that I find intrusive. I just pick one and put it on shuffle.
This one fits with dangerous/risky/exposed/high firepower situations. Hunting, being hunted, knocking heads together, being ready for anything:
DarkOperative - Elite Dangerous · Playlist · 1935 songs · 4 likes

A brighter, more colourful alternative to the above, but with similar energy level:
ChangeOperative - Elite Dangerous · Playlist · 1492 songs

One for general low key pootling, varied BGS tasks, etc. Some elements of the above two, but lighter, relaxed but generally upbeat:
GreyOperative - Elite Dangerous · Playlist · 3592 songs · 1 likes

Faster tempo for more fast-paced, continuous combat situations:
CombatOperative - Elite Dangerous · Playlist · 1497 songs · 1 likes

More ambient, contemplative, for appreciation of vistas, slow tasks, exploring, FA-off floating, being aimless:
EliteGeneral - Elite Dangerous · Playlist · 750 songs

A bonus one I use for winding down and widening focus from more intense combat sessions:
CloseEncounter · Playlist · 130 songs
