All Instrumental Releases?

[AttilaJ]

I can't get enough of SX, but every so often when working I love to listen to instrumental music, but I want something with an edge. For example, when I write simple web code, write a marketing proposal, or whatever, I can't concentrate with music that contains vocals, but I get a sense of adrenaline when I listen to things like Michael Schenker's last two instrumental releases, Vinnie Moore, Solaris, Tangerine Dream and soundtracks like best of John Carpenter. Can anyone suggest "all instrumental" releases that my fit my taste with a bit more edgy prog rock guitar and keys.

My overall taste includes a wide mix of metal and prog: Halford, Judas Priest, SX, Shadow Gallery, Rush, Kansas, Yes, Genesis (early), MSG, etc. Pretty much rock and roll with talent.

My apologies if this topic has been discussed before.

Thanks.

Chris Brooks, Stride, Gladiator soundtrack, my fav Tony Macalpine 'Maximum Security', man there's so much but those come to the top of my mind.

Gordian Knot, Planet X, Ozric Tentacles, Djam Karet...there's an entire universe of great instrumental prog out there...

Try Bozzio Levin Stevens. Cool stuff. I think you'll like it.

Goblin- they're BACK with the same original penchant for dark prog.
Claudio Simonetti- a magician keyboardist
Steve Hackett- you know him right?

Try some Eric Johnson... his albums aren't completely instrumental... about 50/50, I guess... but he really does some amazing things on the guitar... I have "Ah Via Musicom" ("Cliffs of Dover" is one of the greatest instrumental tracks ever... and so is "Trademark") and the excellent "Venus Isle"

I agree with polyeidus I also like the Bozzio, Levins , and Stevens discs.
