Soma FM is one of my favourite things. Their stations are among my top listening while working. The lack of ads/interruption and excellently compiled playlists make for wonderful listening that truly augments my mood and ability to concentrate.
Another recommendation :
I used to listen to "Bluemars - Music for the space traveler" stream, but it has been defunct[0] for some time. However, it seems someone is trying to revive it there [1]. It is really great to use as background when coding. Eerie and inspiring.
They are amazing, and afaik live off of donations. As each of you guys discover Soma, please consider a small donation to the station to keep them going.

Thanks, and thanks to mkal_tsr for the link to Mission Control, that sounds like fantastic music for work! Here is a list of my go-to music for work:
* (mandatory, already seen multiple times on HN) http://musicforprogramming.net/
* Kruder & Dorfmeister - The K+D Sessions. Fantastic mix.
* Apparat - The whole discography, but especially Silizium, and Krieg und Frieden. Both mix deliciously electronic and violin/cello.
Two more recommendations:

Trentemoller Radio on pandora is pretty good for coding.
Subdued, but steady beats to maintain pace, with a touch of atmospheric electronics.

Let's not forget the Christmas Lounge!
