I noticed pretty quickly that I could not translate to music that was short and bouncy, I tended to listen to much to the music and not concentrate enough on the words of the text. At the same time, I needed the music to translate and I needed it to be loud. So, I quickly found some stuff that worked and even though it was way more than this, these are the albums I think I listened to the most while translating tokyo suckerpunch:

• jesu - heartache
• jesu - eluvium (split)
• jesu - pale scetches
• jesu - sunrise/sunset
• swans - swans are dead
• swans - the great annihilator
  
• red sparowes - every red heart shines towards the red sun
• my bloody valentine - loveless
• twelve - 03
• twelve - houston we have no problem part 1 and 2
• killing joke - killing joke (1980)
• mogwai - young team (remastered 2cd)
• the cure - pornography
• amusement parks on fire - out of the angeles
• bauhaus - go away white
