Can someone point me in the direction of some good ideas for control room and studio lighting? I'm looking for nice, dramatic but functional mood lighting. Wall sconces? recessed? spot?

Tracks are cool!
I use track lighting in most of my studio. Tracks are cool, because you can direct the individual cans to where they are most needed... (Music Stand, Mixer, Keyboard etc) Then the lighting is directional and really makes the room cool and classy.
I have several banks of colors and white tracks. I use the colors during vocal overdubs to change the mood a bit.

Part of my studio design is to suface mount all of my electrical and data wiring. Taking the path of least resistance, I am going for the industrial look.
Everything is going to run through 3/4" conduit that is mounted to the walls. So we are running conduit at the outlet level and up high on the walls about 6" below the ceiling. These are the light fixtures we are using. They don't require a box, they have conduit connections right on the fixture.

My studio has the following lighting (its the loft of a two car garage, to give you a perspective in size):
The vocal booth has on the ceiling track lighting, faced at the walls (which could go straight down), with 25W halogen lights in each. Total of four lights. There is track all around the perimeter of the ceiling, so the four lights (and about six others which are in a cabinet) could be moved, changed, and relocated for comfort to the artist inside. I also have incandescent bulbs that could be swapped. The track lights are controlled by a master dimmer in the vocal booth, as well as bypass switch in the console room, so I can flip them on "full" regardless of the dimmer setting so people can exit/enter the booth safely.
The control room has track lighting (with 40W halogen spot bulbs) overhead, also on a dimmer. This allowed the engineer to adjust lighting to his/her tastes, usually being me, and I prefer dim lighting myself.
Also in the ceiling of the room, I have 40W 4' flourescent lights which I use when I'm wiring, moving furniture around, upgrading the room, etc. These are primarily work lights, but I mounted them permanently just so I don't have to sling worklights into the room when I need them.

I use Hamilton Bay 12 volt track lighting. The track is 120 volt and the 12v transformers are in the light fixtures. There is a special dimmer for this type of track lighting. also I use Malibu out door 12 volt lighting very cool and very cheap and can also be dimmed. Dimming introduces no noise
