I can't listen to anything with words (even in another language), but voices are ok, as long as I'm unfamiliar with the piece, that way I can't sing along. I prefer mixed instrumental or orchestral as opposed to a single instrument, otherwise I focus too much on the one instrument.
I need to listen to things that I'm not used to hearing, otherwise I just focus on the music. It needs to be somewhat unpredictable without being a cacophony. I'm getting too familiar with my usual rotation. Need some new stuff.
Stuff that works: the brandenburg, handel's water music, eric satie's gymnopedies and gnossiennes and others, some of schubert's string quartets... can't remember the others.
Doesn't work: vivaldi's 4 seasons (well, winter is ok, but the other 3 don't work)
Any recommendations would be much appreciated.
Ironically, I have also used the first three things you mentioned that work for you to study with. Chill classical music is great background noise!
A couple of other things I have used, which may or may not be helpful to you:
> Long rain "tracks" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mQ9OWMsJBTk)
> Venice Classic Radio (http://www.veniceclassicradio.eu/)
> The Bluemars and Cryosleep stations (http://bluemars.org/cryosleep.php)
> Sleepbot Environmental Broadcast (http://sleepbot.com/seb/)
