Couldn't find matching thread, so made one myself. So here it goes: Anathema - Violence Deftones - Sleep Walk Isis - Firdous E Bareen Katatonia - Inside the City of Glass Laura - Is There No Help for the Widow's Son? Mogwai - Like Herod Mono - A Speeding Car Oceansize - I Am the Morning Pelican - March to the Sea Red Sparowes - The Soundless Dawn Came Alive As Cities Began to Mark the Horizon Sigur Rós - Mílanó This Will Destroy You - A Three-Legged Workhorse Kinda post-rockish list
There, all done. Let's see, hmm...so many to choose, well what the hell.. I'll begin with Katatonia (duuuuh) Katatonia - Elohim Meth (so depressingly beautiful) Katatonia - Dancing December Katatonia - For Funerals to Come (if it counts as a intrumental) Katatonia - Instrumental (Oh yes) Katatonia - Inside the City of Glass Opeth - Patterns in the Ivy Opeth - Ending Credits Opeth - Epilogue Opeth - For Absent Friends Porcupine Tree - Wedding Nails Porcupine Tree - Up the Downstair Porcupine Tree - Tinto Brass Porcupine Tree - Moonloop Porcupine Tree - Burning Sky Porcupine Tree - Oceans Have no Memory Anathema - Destiny is Dead Agalloch - Every instrumental on The White EP Agalloch - Basically every other instrumental they've done Burzum - Tomhet Camel - Supertwister Camel - Lunar Sea Deathspell Omega - First Prayer Lifelover - Förspel & Intrång Lifelover - Avbrott Sex All instrumentals by Taake uuhhh..that's enough for now..
Off the top of my head, New Order's Elegia, and Porcupine Tree's Navigator and Rainy Taxi come to mind when I think of good instrumental songs from a non-instrumental band. Rather than listing individual songs, I've decided to list some cool instrumental bands and CDs. Keep in mind not all of these are entirely instrumental. The American Dollar- The Technicolour Sleep and A Memory Stream Eluvium- Copia Explosions In The Sky- The Earth Is Not A Cold Dead Place and All Of A Sudden I Miss Everyone God Is An Astronaut- The End Of The Beginning, All Is Violent, All Is Bright and Far From Refuge Godspeed You! Black Emperor- F#A#∞ Hammock- Raising Your Voice... Trying To Stop An Echo and Maybe They Will Sing For Us Tomorrow Helios- Unomia I Hear Sirens- I Hear Sirens Lanterna- Elm Street M83- Digital Shades, Vol. 1 (Also recommended are Before The Dawn Heals Us and Saturdays = Youth; the latter of which is one of the best cds released this year) Mogwai- Happy Songs For Happy People Tristeza- A Colores Ulrich Schnauss- Far Away Trains Passing By The Workhouse- The End Of The Pier Hope that helped. I might not have listed individual songs, but hopefully people will read this and check out some of these bands.
EUCHARIST - The Eucharist Metallica - Orion Metallica - To Live is to Die Sentenced - The Golden Stream of Lapland Sentenced - Mourn Sentenced - Konevitsan Kirkonkellot Morbid Angel - Desolate Ways Porcupine Tree - Ambulance Chasing Porcupine Tree - Mother and Child Divided In Flames - Timeless EDIT: how could I forget: DAYLIGHT DIES - Dismantling Devotion!
Ahh, yess. I certainly like my instrumental music. There's more than whats on this list... but i cant remember them all currentky, Camel - The Snow Goose (album) Explosions in The Sky - everything I've heard is good From the Sky - Needle Happy Pediatricians From the Sky - Someone To Remember From the Sky - The Position Of The Stars Iron Maiden - Losfer Words Jakob - Everything they've done. it's all great John Petrucci - Suspended Animation (album) Katatonia - Inside the City of Glass Matt Unleman - Wilderness Mioscene - Sympathy For Gordon Comstock Opeth - Ending Credits Opeth - Epilogue Opeth - Madrigal Opeth - For Absent Friends Opeth - Patterns In the Ivy Porcupine Tree - Up The Downstair Red Sparowes - Also everything Vangelis - We Were All Uprooted
I was listening to Nine Inch Nails-The Downward Spiral today, and I must say "A Warm Place" is one of the most depressing songs I've heard. Also I'd like to mention Shadows Fall's "Casting Shade," and "Lead Me Home" are really astonishing, and I don't even like that band, but their instrumentals are ace. Tool-Lost Keys There are a bunch more, but those came to mind first.
The Haunted - Privation of Faith Inc. The Haunted - Demon Eyes The Dillinger Escape Plan - When Acting As A Wave Autechre - Gantz Graf Autechre - Parhelic Triangle Bulb - Totla Mad At the Gates - Into The Dead Sky Agalloch - A Celebration for the Death of Man... Boards of Canada - Satellite Anthem Icarus Boards of Canada - Dayvan Cowboy Between the Buried and Me - Viridian Gojira - Unicorn Sunn O))) & Boris - Etna Sunn O))) & Boris - N.L.T. Nine Inch Nails - 23 Ghosts III Nine Inch Nails - 26 Ghosts III Nine Inch Nails - The Mark Has Been Made Russian Circles - Death Rides a Horse Russian Circles - Harper Lewis i didn't realise there were so many amazing instrumental tracks. if you haven't heard Russian Circles then do your self a favor and check them out.
I knew I've missed some! 65daysofstatic - 65 Doesn't Understand You Nine Inch Nails - Leaving Hope Yup, they are pretty great. There is another post-rock band with cool name Meanwhile, Back in Communist Russia... - interesting music. I have two One is last.fm/user/Hexabasic my regular one, and this last.fm/user/Abscurat is my new one. The first one is more informative, though.
Nine Inch nails - The four of us are dieing. Very unlike other things I listen to but it is still a seriously good song.
sleepmakeswaves - In Today Already Walks Tomorrow Yes, the entire thing. Do yourself a favour and check them out if you are even remotely into music.
Death - Voice of The Soul (how the shit has no one mentioned this one?) Daylight Dies - Dismantling Devotion Katatonia - Instrumental Riverside - Reality Dream III Shadows Fall - Casting Shade (I fully agree with BlueSky on them)
The only one that I need to mention right now is Metallica - Orion. That was my favorite instrumental song for so long. It's still awesome. I need to go through my music and listen to some stuff though. Oh I also like both Motherfucker = Redeemer songs by GSYBE.
