Favourite Instrumentals (Title changed for Soulnet, but will now be incorrect for some other reason)

I had no idea about any of that.
Thank you for sharing.

I still have the 7" single in my collection. It’s quite the haunting tune.

7 year bump, from 2017 doesn’t compute in my mind. 7 years ago was like 2009 wasn’t it???

Does instrumental include electronic instrumental music? Something like Tycho?

This album by Yu Su has been on high rotation for a while

Here’s some I like that I don’t think have been mentioned above:

Sharon Shannon - Cavan Potholes

Floyd Cramer- Last Dance

Angelo Badalamenti. - Twin Peaks Theme

Vangelis - Chariots of Fire
Mason Williams - Classical Gas
Flatt and Scruggs - Foggy Mountain Breakdown
Glen Miller - In the Mood
Herb Alpert - Lonely Bull
Enya - Watermark

Plus heaps of good acoustic music released on the Wyndham Hill label.

I’d forgotten :rofl:

Metallica - The Call of Ktulu
- Orion
- To Live is to Die

Sofa #1

Rumble - Link Wray
Shambala - Bestie Boys
The Ecstasy of Gold - London Music Works
Einsamer Hirte - James Last Gheorghe Zamfir
Children - Robert Miles
Clubbed to death - Rob Dougan

Again stretching the limits.
There are vocals in this song, but no actual words.

Anyway, this song generally calms me down and makes me feel good.
And yes, I know the sample.

Ok there are vocals on this track, and some actual words, but it’s still an instrumental! Plus some amazing drumming.

cannot believe no-one has mentioned this beauty :stuck_out_tongue:

Clapton’s best playing and composing over the last 40 or so years has been on various soundtracks. Apart form the Rush soundtrack, he has also featured on 3 Lethal Weapon soundtracks plus these, the original TV series of Edge of Darkness, and Homeboy, which does feature a couple of vocal tracks, but a lot of great atmospheric playing.

My favourite track from Homeboy is The Bridge.

Victory is Won - SANTANA
