Suggest some Instrumentals?

[Lietuvis]

Pink Floyd - My favorite band, along with Opeth. Although there aren't many songs completely without vocals, many pieces are mainly instrumental. I highly recommend checking out the following albums:
"Meddle"
"Wish You Were Here"
"Dark Side Of The Moon"
"Ummagumma"

They are their best, in my opinion.

 

[Rawr]

The intro to Dimmu Borgir's Puritanical Euphoric Misanthropia, called 'Fear and Wonder' is simply amazing... As is their song 'Sorgens Kammer' from Stormblast..
Cradle of Filth have some really good instrumentals (on anything up to Cruelty and the Beast), even though they're primarily intro's and interludes.

(Not even a big DB of CoF fan, but these tracks rule!)

Furthermore, all Opeth instrumentals are really beautiful! Especially Ending Credits..
Probably a lot more tracks i like but can't think of right now.

 

[Hypnos]

Pink Floyd - Marooned
Laliya - Terre De Sacha (the whole album is instrumetal. incredibly brilliant music!!! Appalachian Dulcimer + Djembe + Didgeridoo)

 

[FRUGiHOYi]

Oh, I got some good ones. All the "Soulfly" songs. For those who don't know, they have an instrumental entitled "Soulfly X" on each album where X is a different number, corresponding to the album number. They are all excellent.

 

[Rocky Raccoon]

Camel - The Snow goose

Whole album is instrumental and most importently good!

Fuck yea, this album kicks ass!

 

[Risquit]

Check out Neil Zaza's cover of Prince's "Purple Rain". Absolutely killer instrumental version of it.

 

[Tybud]

Pelican - Last Day of Winter

 

[Lothlorien]

yes, yes, Pelican is the greatest. Get all of Pelican's albums.

 

[BloodSword]

Porcupine Tree -- "Sky Moves Sideways" Mahavishnu Orchestra-- Meeting of the Spirits, Vital Transformation, Dance of the Maya. Just pick up the album "Inner Mounting Flame" the whole thing is instrumental. Jason Becker-- Perpetual Burn.

 

[melancio]

Pain of Salvation - Pluvius Aestivus

Blood Avenger - Didn't Like Your Tone

Steve Vai - Tender Surrender
Steve Vai - For the Love of God
Steve Vai - Touching Tongues
Joe Satriani - Midnight

 

[Raistlin Majere]

after forever-ex cathedra
orphaned land-calm before the flood
orphaned land-rainbow
clint mansell-requirem for a dream soundtrack
sirenia-seven sirens and a silver tear

 

[Liquid Diamonds]

I'd like to mention 'Ad Astra' by Arcturus. I know it has some vocals in it, but they're not really at the forefront of the track, and for some reason I always seem to think of it as an instrumental. And it blows my mind

Lots of cool instrumental stuff out there. Explosions In The Sky's album 'The Earth Is Not A Cold Dead Place' comes highly reccommended, as does Pelican (especially 'Sirius' IMHO).

isis - maritime

someone may have said it but i think this is a truly awesome track. its so gentle and calming. and it doesnt have isis vocals

 

[soundave]

Mybe this is a totally different genre than you're interested in, but:

The Allman Brothers Band - "Jessica" and "In Memory of Elizabeth Reed"

I can actually even sort of imagine Opeth doing a heavy version "IMOER"...

 

[FullMetalCornflake]

Pelican
- The Fire In Our Throats Will Beckon the Thaw (any thing by Pelican)

Kaki King - her two albums "Legs to make us longer" and "Everybody loves you"

 

[vampyrouss]

isis - maritime

someone may have said it but i think this is a truly awesome track. its so gentle and calming. and it doesnt have isis vocals

Yup, me! And I will say it again, as 3 mentions still isn't enough!

isis - maritime
