Favorite Instrumentals

BloodRed, I'm always a bit apprehensive and quite frankly, borderline frightened by what you might post, but these were quite good.

On a serious note, you labeled each song as death metal, black metal, doom metal, etc. As I am not nuanced in the genre, can you enlighten me to the differences? Seriously, because I don't know.

On a less serious note, maybe they should just eschew vocals altogether. :-D

Guitar solos as songs, bbs

Here's the definitions for Black metal and Death metal, but it's probably best to listen to songs from a few key bands of the genres to get a real understanding since they're very different from each other and are both semi-complicated to explain.

Doom metal has slow tempos and very low-tuned guitar tones, Black Sabbath were pretty much the first doom metal band and laid down all the basics, while later bands that came after them defined it into what it is now.

Hopefully this was helpful to you, RW.

you might dig this. Bongrippers album Satan Worshiping Doom is easily one of my favorite records of all time. I listen to it once a day at least. pure instrumental, doom, sludge, metal..it's HEAVY.

You're welcome, planet Earth. The build up to this song is incredible and the climax is just that.

Nice :-D Warren Ellis + Nick Cave = Guaranteed Bad-ass-ery

Interesting to see how Frankenstein evolved over 35 years.

1973


2008

Might be cheating as the POTC music doesn't have lyrics to start with but He's A Pirate, rock version by Hayatebune.

 

[HarmlessSquirrel]

@SweepTheLeg I really like Cloudkicker's stuff. :thumbleft:


One of my faves:

Porcupine Tree - Signify (live)

 

[Just Me]

I am surprised that classical music has not been mentioned in this thread. I suppose it is possible that no one here enjoys classical music. There are some opera's mixed in here, mainly from Bach of course, sorry.

 

[SweepTheLeg]

I love classical music, I can thank cartoons at a very young age for increasing my interest in music. Just never got around to posting any in this thread.

Let's get in the mood for Halloween!

 

[Kavin Martin]

I love Tiësto's Chasing Summers . Beautiful Instrumental.

 

[emptiedglass]

I'm surprised no one's mentioned this one yet. They goofed on the song's name, as it's actually Battle Without Honor or Humanity.

Sometimes i just like to see talent. Each person has a different opinion of what that is, and I evaluate talent on an individual basis. I am also a musician, so I can appreciate the difficulty of things that a casual observer might overlook. Here are some examples...

Hi, God!
Just use the part after the v= to put a video on here, like this.

OK, let me try this again...

Hard to top one of the best ever.
:-D



Of course I can't leave out Jimmy.



And another great one from one of my all time favorite albums.

 

[Jillybean]

I'm really not sure if this counts, but I've been playing Faster Than Light on Steam lately. The background music is so peaceful and pretty! I think it's one of my favorite things to do homework to. The game is frustrating as hell, I still haven't beaten it, but at least the music keeps me calm.





There's a lot more on YouTube.

 

[AdamAdamant]

I would like to hear more songs with the church organ.

 

[CallipygiEnthusiast]

I listen to this a lot:

 

[Brad]

Technically only half this song is instrumental but it is so beautiful!!! This one is for you Mags.
:thumbleft:

 

[Brad]

I also really love this one by Samuel Barber called Adagio for Strings.

 

[Nordling]

Another "almost instrumental." Nearly the first four minutes are virtually a violin solo (with some piano for rhythm) by the amazing Don "Sugarcane" Harris.

 

[Maggy]

Testament - Musical Death. A surprisingly delicate piece of instrumental music for an 80's speed metal band.

 

[Maggy]

And Itzhak Perlman's Theme to Schindler's List. I can never listen to it without tearing up.

 

[Sevrin]

This was the first modern instrumental record I ever bought. I'm a Roxy Music fan and Eno had just left when this came out, so I had to have it. There's this guy in the subway who plays the flute to a looped backing track that reminds me a little of this. Flip side is pretty good too.


This was a BFD when I was a kid.
