Best Instrumental Track?

[WeekendWarrior]

New topic !
What do you think is the best instrumental songs out there?

Personally I'll mention :
Metallicas - Orion
Dream Theater - Erotomania
Symphony X - Death Of Balance Lacrymosa
Avantasia - A new Dimension
Finntroll - Svampfest
Moonsorrow - Tyven
Ayreon - Chaos (energetic!)

I think these are great instrumentals. Keep em coming!

 

[Symphony]

Are we allowed to count stuff from instrumental only albums?

 

[anvil(old)]

Megadeth - Into The Lungs of Hell

 

[Symphony]

Vicious Rumors - Electric twilight

 

[WeekendWarrior]

Are we allowed to count stuff from instrumental only albums?

Yes, that's perfectly ok

 

[SteelFrett]

Well I would have to say Medwyn Goodall 'Moonlit whispers'...Doubt anyone would have heard of that. But as for metal goes I will have to dwell on it further before giving a true vote.

 

[Ayeka]

Iron Maiden - Transylvania, The Ides of March
M.S.G. - Into The Arena

I know there are more out there but I can't remember them! >_<

 

[WeekendWarrior]

Power Quest - Distant lands
well that's maybe more like an outro..

Finntroll - Krig
cool atmospheric instrumental

 

[heavenly]

Heavenly - Break the silence

I think that this instrumental song is so great but there is an other Heavenly song which is so wonderfull:

Heavenly - Lonely tears

For those who hadn't heard it, you have to do it. Thanx Fred "rocco" Leclercq for this wonderfull song.

 

[WeekendWarrior]

Yes, those Heavenly instrumentals are good.

It's ok to take instrumentals from movie soundtracks too.. to make it more interesting

The Time Machine Sountrack - Godspeed (Klaus Badelt)

 

[looseunit]

the theme music to Shrek

called "S" is an awesome piece of music

also Spirit and the Tarzan sound tracks are great !!!!

pick of the litter though IMHO

Erotomania - Dream Theater

shivers down the spine every time

 

[Andi]

Morphing inot Nothing of II=I by Andromeda is great

 

[heavenly]

Starship troopers - drop to klendathu (basil poledouris) awesome song

Meta/Rock:
Annihilator - Liquid Oval
Gamma Ray - Induction
Human Fortress - colloseum
Rainbow - Snowman (Love the version on Bent Out Of Shape)

[PopcornDave]

Iron Maiden - Transylvania

Outside of the metal/rock world, too many to list. But there are lot of great soundtracks in Final Fantasy games, Suikoden games and the original Wild Arms (haven't played the sequels).

 

[WeekendWarrior]

Yeah, lots of great music in the final fantasy games, and the zelda games as well..

rhapsody - elnor's magic valley (irish folk music !)

 

[PopcornDave]

Ooh, speaking of Irish folk, The Pogues' Repeal Of The Licensing Laws and Metropolis are two awesome instrumentals.

 

[WeekendWarrior]
