Accoustic/Instrumental songs

[SpeakUSAorDie]

Hey guys, My Dad is starting to get into more instrumental music and I wanted to make him a CD. Im looking for ANYTHING that you guys think is good. Name any band no matter how obvious or obscure the song may be you. I just want to get my Dad some nice relaxing beautiful music. I also posted this in the Opeth section, so sorry if you had to read this twice. Me and my Dad thank you!

Don't forget Ulver's "Høyfjeldsbilde" from Kveldsjanger.. Such a beautiful acoustic song. Also "Funeral in Space" from Armageddon's Crossing the Rubicon album is very good for instrumentals.

Of course there is missing in flames

In Flames Acoustic Instrumental Songs:

Pallar anders visa
Timeless

Dham i remember a lot of ones but cant remember the titles






Timo Tolkki - Capriccio In A Minor (Classical Variations And Themes 1994) ... i think this is the worst song performed by him, where the fuck are the vibrato notes ??? this seems like a soulless warmup exercice

 

[Wraith]

I've just heard Ulver - Kveldsjanger (1996). It's completly acoustic instrumental album. I like it. Maybe you'll like it too.

 

[Ghost Tears]

Novembre's Valentine(almost an istrumental) has a very little bit of vocals in it which is why they put the almost an instrumental in the song title. I would also reccomend the Folk acoustic Ulver Kveldsjanger album.
