Decent Instrumentals?

Post by Trolldor » Wed Apr 28, 2010 10:47 am

As title says.

Nothing 'epic' like Scores, just instrumentals.

"Astronomy Domine" (sp?) by Pink Floyd. Rush has a few, "La Villa Strangiato", "YYZ" come to mind immediately.

No 'doof doof' faggotry. Nothing orchestral/classical, I've got plenty of those. Other than that, not really.

Here's a couple that spring to mind. I could come up with some others if I wasn't so brain dead right now.

This has been in my head all morning ...

God has no place within these walls, just like facts have no place within organized religion. - Superintendent Chalmers

It's not up to us to choose which laws we want to obey. If it were, I'd kill everyone who looked at me cock-eyed! - Rex Banner

Anything by Ozric Tentacles.
Mike Oldfield - His early stuff is mostly epic, but many tracks started getting shorter & shorter from the 80's onwards. Try QE2 for a start
The Alan Parsons Project - Tales of Mystery and Imagination
Depending how mellow you want to go... George Winston does very relaxing New Age solo piano.

Pink Floyd: Terminal Frost. Awesome Sax and Piano sounds and sends a chill up my spine every time i hear it.

Also, not really an instrumental unless you consider the voice used as an instrument, but Pink Floyd's The Great Gig in the Sky. Clare Torry has one hell of a voice.

Well, so far one of the more tolerable ones.

I prefer psychadelic/mellow to any of the heavy stuff. Much easier to turn on and listen to at a whim.

You probably wouldn't like "Yes", then.
