Best albums to listen to while studying

Hello!
I have a very difficult test to take tomorrow, and I'll be cramming like a mother. I need some music that does the following:
1) Doesn't make me wish I was dead.
2) Doesn't make me wish I was doing anything else but studying.
3) Brings me peace and hope.
4) Keeps me motivating.
Thank you very much for your time.

Here's a track by Boards of Canada that I think may be of interest, it's from their "In a Beautiful Place Out in the Country" EP.

Hey guys!
Thank you very much for the suggestions. I was really getting into Boards of Canada. All of your suggestions helped, and I passed my exam.
Just to keep this thread going for other people that might be interested, I'll post some of my suggestions:
Israel Vibration - The Same Song Mogwai - Happy Songs For Happy People Bunny Wailer - Black Hearted Man Neil Young - Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere John Frusciante - Curtains Dead Meadow - Dead Meadow

Tycho - Dive
I was listening to this while studying for a test this weekend. I love those 80s style synths in this album.
It's like a groovier version of the Blade Runner movie.

I find that post-rock is great studying music. The band Explosions in the sky is superb, loaded with emotion but has no lyrics so it keeps your focus on what your doing. The Album "The Earth is Not a Cold Dead Place" is one of my personal favorites for when I'm writing.
Besides Post-rock Jazz music is another great choice, anything by Miles Davis does the trick. Something with more energy and modern flair is some good old EDM...Pretty lights, gramatik, STS9 and Lotus are not crazy enough to make you want to crack some glow sticks and pop some rolls but have enough energy to keep you focused and excited on your current task.
All the bands I mentioned have little lyrics as I explained above...if you want something with some lyrics to get your thoughts flowing Punk give me a good rush, Andrew Jackson Jihad, Bad Brains, Black Flag, Minor Threat, Pat the bunny, Cheap Girls etc.
Internet radio is also a good choice to keep things fresh and maybe even find something new
Also there are always the boys
