Umm. I was joking too. Oompy-Loompy? --------------- My basic objection to religion is not that it isn't true; I like plenty of things that aren't true. It's that religion grants its adherents malign, intoxicating and morally corrosive sensations. -Philip Pullman |

Hadn't thought about them for a while but they are truly good. Would probably choose Horse Stories as my favorite album though. |

I forgot to mention this one. I think it's far and away Mogwai's best. -------------------------------------------------- I have no race prejudices, and I think I have no color prejudices nor caste prejudices nor creed prejudices.

Agreed. There are some gorgeous melodies, and heaps of highly controlled energy. ---------------------------- There's an ember in the rafters and it's gonna burn this whole thing down. Shadrach on LastFM |

I guess I don't consider Mirrored instrumental. I can see the argument about the vocals serving as an instrument, but there's still lyrics.
Most of my favorite "instrumental" albums actually have some lyrics: Hypermagic Mountain, You, You're A History In Rust, and to some extent Mirrored. I love Clark's Body Riddle (which does contain four words, but they're quiet...), From Here We Go Sublime, and pretty much everything Aphex Twin has done. Explosions in the Sky are good too. I like "Moya" from Slow Riot For New Zero Kanada (since the second track has words, even if they're recordings, I guess). I actually bought f#a#(infinity), but inside the case was Slow Riot...

Hmm, instrumentals huh? Let’s see.
There are all of the symphonies by Beethoven (nine), Tchaikovsky (six), Brahms (four), at least a dozen from Haydn and at least 30 of Mozart’s. That would be a pretty good start, then we can get into other stuff. But yeah, you should check those out. ----- Never say you miss her, never say a word. And do everything she'd never do. |

All of the music listed so far is very very good. I would have listed all of these albums, but I'd like to add that I really like...
Tristeza-Dream Signals in Full Circle Four Tet- Rounds Flying Saucer Attack Further anything by M83 Saxon Shore Four Months of Darkness Fennesz=Endless Summer Neu! Unwed Sailor- The Faithful Anchor Great board! My favorite music tends to be instrumental because “music is louder than words, and brighter than pictures”. Goodbye! |

Probably because this is the indie rock forum...hmmm... Anyways, it's a good list, and the jazz stuff you chose is all amazing. ------------------------------------- Will the fight for our sanity be the fight of our lives? http://www.last.fm/user/crob3888 |

A good instrumental/electronic release for this year is Glider by The Sight Below. I think fans of the Field should like it, though it's not as obviously beat driven and is leans more towards ambient. Does this recommendation belong in this thread?

Qualification: These are either purely or mostly instrumental. I think the focus of all these albums is their ability to convey certain mindsets [i.e. emotions and whatnot] through instrumentation alone.
Squarepusher - Music Is Rotted One Note Mogwai - Young Team Battles - Mirrored [essentially instrumental] Disco Inferno - D.I. Go Pop [same as above] Sunn 0))) - Black One Boredoms - Vision Creation Newsum Tortoise - TNT Tim Hecker - Imaginary Country and Harmony In Ultraviolet Fennesz - Endless Summer Talk Talk - Laughing Stock [Do vocals-as-instrument count?] Sigur Ros - Ágætis byrjun [Hopelandic cannot be called vocals] Rodan - Rusty Lightning Bolt - Wonderful Rainbow & Hypermagic Mountain [really underrated I feel] That's all I can think of off the top of my head. |
