Jon Snow turned me onto them... great shit

 

[Arjen W.]

I don't know that much instrumental albums, certainly not much of what is named in this thread. I'll check it out, I like instrumental tracks.

From the ones that I know, two albums come to mind:

When Day Descends - Transcend
Kitaro - Kojiki

I'm sure most of you are familiar with WDD. Kitaro is real nice music too, I don't think a lot of people know it. If you can find some albums, try it. Kojiki is my favorite.

 

[Nuk3m]

Morte Macabre - Symphonic Holocaust
Machinae Supremacy - Jets'N'Guns
Holdsworth & Johan - Heavy Machinary
Ulver - Lykanthropen Themes
Fredrik Thordendal - Fredrik Thordendal's Special Defects (not really a instrumental album but almost is and is too good not to mention)

 

[arzachel]

oddly enough seth...hansson completely slipped my mind. fuck. too many choices of amazing albums without vocals.

indeed. though the first minute of 'time for great achievements' alone puts attic thoughts in my top 5 . :Smokedev:

 

[Mr. Josey Wales]

birds of fire rulez. so does kind of blue, mingus ah um, and gybe.

on a side note which is better, orion or call of ktulu??

id have to go with orion right now..

 

[NFU]

indeed. though the first minute of 'time for great achievements' alone puts attic thoughts in my top 5 . :Smokedev:

attic thoughts is one of my favorite albums ever. as well as bo hansson being one of my favorite musicians and composers. which reminds me, i think flasket brinner definitely needs a place in this thread as well, although not all of their material is instrumental.
