Isn't the question in the subject line about "music"?

No there isn't cold, just about -5 °C.

Classic music makes me relaxed and ideas flows.

I generally don't care about which kind of music, but on the quality of it 
What's important to me is the flow of notes, sometime even classic music can be disturbing

Techno suites best since it is more or less electronic music, so it really goes well with bits and bytes.

BTW, I hate Schlager and volkstümliche Musik, any kind of other music is welcome, if I like it.

In any case the kind of music you hear is always related to the task at hand and the mood you are in

So listen and relax

Classical pop rock. Just listening to Tubular Bells, but Dark Side or Koeln Concert would be fine, too. It should be non-distracting.

Naming Deep Purple (or their albums) in the same sentence as "pop" is a sacrilege...

Oops, Beisserchen, there is no Deep Purple in my list ;-)

Well, 
"Doppelte Freud'sche Fehlleistung"... 

I clearly read "Tubular Bells" (and I like Mike Oldfield, used to have this played during ice hockey warm up during my more active days as a goalie), but then somehow made the first brain fart thinking of "Division Bells", which I coincidentally had been listening to a hour or so before. And then the second brain fart and "mixing the colors", writing Deep Purple instead of Pink Floyd. I blame the lack of caffeine at that time of day... 

Beside that, still wouldn't call anything from Mike Oldfield "Pop" either....

Back in 2000 I stumbled upon an interesting web station, Softwave.ru that played an eclectic mix of world, lounge type music interspersed with the kind of music from Russian kino films, some Polish too I think.  Then one day the station went dead bummer!
Later I found SomaFM and rediscovered some of that playlist on the Secret Agent channel and some more of it on Illionois St. Lounge.  The Lounge at DI.fm is good and played a lot of the stuff I heard on the old Russian station.  In the end I collected my own playlist from these sources and added some Aida Vedeshiva songs that I like and Viola.  Hours of listening pleasure.
