Guest Edwin MacPhisto Report post Posted September 2, 2002 Any of Trent Reznor's Nine Inch Nails instrumentals are great--all the superb musicianship without the occasionally deeeeeply whiny lyrics. "A Warm Place" is great, and any of the instrumentals off of the Still disc of And All That Could Have Been are absolutely wonderful. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Incandenza Report post Posted September 2, 2002 I can't think of too many absolute favorite instrumentals at the moment, but Red House Painters' "Cabezon," the first track on their Ocean Beach album, is a bright, summertime-y type piece that I enjoy, and which provides a stark contrast to the moody and melencholy material that follows.

Guest Zero_Cool Report post Posted September 2, 2002 The instrumentals from And All That Could Have Been rocked, as Edwin pointed out. My favorite is "Orion" by Metallica. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest evenflowDDT Report post Posted September 4, 2002 Most of the song's off Freddy King's Just Pickin' album, including "Hideaway" and "The Stumble". Pretty much anything by The Ventures (dude, surf music is totally awesome!) also makes the list, including "Walk Don't Run" of course and "Wipeout" and "Pipeline", but my favorite Ventures instrumental is actually "Ghost Riders (In the Sky)". Also, the Mahavishnu Orchestra has some good instrumental stuff but I can't remember the songs right now (I think they're all instrumental). I also recommend Ghosts and Vodka, especially "Futuristic Genitalia". Great song. In the vein of hip-hop instrumentals, pick up instrumental versions of anything by Dan the Automator or Dr. Dre (I don't like Dre the rapper, but as a producer he's SWANK~!). There are many many others but I can't think of them right now for some reason. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Dmann2000 Report post Posted September 6, 2002 Pink Floyd: Echoes (a 23 minute song with hardly any dialoge is an instrumental.) I disagree, Echos is a song, it has lyrics and a chorus, it just has a very long instrumental bridge, like a free form jam that just keeps going on. One of these days, from the same album Meddle, is more of an instrumental, online one line the title is repeated Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
