Sorta. I mean,sure, if you want to call those oompa-loompa sounds vocals!

It was a joke.. I agree that they are instrumental.

Umm. I was joking too. Oompy-Loompy?

I mean, they sound like an oopma-loompa who had some helium fun..

..anyways, darn this internet! Always making it a challenge to tell jokes from serious. You kid? I kid!

Dirty Three - Ocean Songs
Do Make Say Think -WHCHSH

Dirty Three - Ocean Songs

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.

Agreed. There are some gorgeous melodies, and heaps of highly controlled energy.

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.

Do Make Say Think - Winter Hymn Country Hymn
Do Make Say Think - You, You're a History in Rust

These are two of the best albums you will ever listen to.

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!

Metal heads - and even those who aren't - check out Behold...The Arctopus. This is kewl stuff.
