What Do I Listen to While Thinking Stuff Up

Personally I find that music is an important stimulant for the creative process.  I have a somewhat eclectic taste in music, but for a while now I've been specifically seeking out music not in English.  This is largely because I've grown bored of most of the classic rock and disco I used to listen to--and when the stuff I used to like started showing up in elevator music and the soundtrack to Shreck I knew it was time to move on.  But also, as far as the creative process goes, music with lyrics in English tend to be distracting.  The flow of irrelevant words into my brain often jams my mental gears.

My primary source for finding new music is YouTube and here are a dozen of the favorites I'm listening to nowadays:
