instrumental music .... at some point you have to laugh about it.
is the voice an instrument? - i think so. is the voice not as listenable at times then other instruments? - i guess so. is there more (musical quality or just action) concentration and intensity in the other instruments if there is no voice "over" them? - maybe. my most influential non-vocal music (still containing vocal music partially): a lot of symphonic and folk music all over the place, the birth of music and instruments (just saying Peter and the Wolf) but definitely visit all great composers of symphonic music!! One of my (and a lot of others peoples) faves is Debussy. a lot of rock, jazz n electronics. King Crimson, Pink Floyd, Gentle Giant, Genesis, Mahavishnu Orchestra, Weather Report, Frank Zappa and Brian Eno are still Kings of music and have a lot to explore. Of course Yes is also a bright, bright shining star and also Spocks beard and The Flower Kings have masses of extremely good non-vocal stuff with an amazing interplay, fantastic sounds, melodys and rhythms. they all have massive instrumental sh*t!!! Its of course not easy to navigate throu the masses as not all is high quality. And sometimes you just have to "over" listen the voices. some uniques of mine: Liquid Tension Experiment (rock) Rypdal Vitous DeJohnette 1979 ECM (jazz classic) Bill Evans with Symphony orchestra (jazz) Chet Baker and Strings (jazz) Charles Mingus (let my children hear music) (jazz) Brand X (Moroccan Roll) (fusion) Thomas Newman (The Horsewhisperer) (symphonic/ambient/folk) Jade Warrior (Way of the Sun, Breathing the Storm, Floating World) (fusion, highly underrated!!!) David Sylvian/Nine Horses (fusion/electronic/folk/songwriter) Pat Metheny Group (The Way Up) (jazz/fusion) Talk Talk (Spirits of Eden) (new wave/jazz) Mum (mostly everything - electro analog fusion) Spaced Out (amazing sound and rhythms) Sebastiaan Cornelissen (some of the smoothest and at the same time trippy stuff around) Hardscore (amazing proggy jazz) Amon Tobin (highly creative electro) Four Tet (analog sampling) Grails (Black Tar Symphony) AMAZING!!! SO SO GOOD!!! The Ulver that works ;) some more stuff: L'Artichaut Orchestra (symphonic folk) Five Storey Ensemble (symphonic folk) Eyvind Kang (fusion) Build an Ark "Love" (jazz) Ecstasy Project Hanne Hukkelberg (analog electro fusion) Stringpuree Band (small, tight and creatvie jazz power trio from finland) Annuals (great electroacoustics) Indie Revenge (free jazz) The Books/Nick Zammuto (indie/electro) btw pekka pohjola is great! so the most instrumental music isnt rock!!! world - mind - dont be so restricted!

It may have been mentioned but I like jazz fusion that's melodic so I'll recommend Kenso and Ain Soph.....and Brand x.

Chinese Beard - Shades of Tomorrow
Gifts From Enola (any album by them)
Pomegranate Tiger (if you care for some great prog metal)
Talc
The Inner Road - Ascension
SoulenginE - Mind Colours (two shorter songs on the album have vocals, but the vocals are decent and everything else is instrumental
The Ocean - Pelegial (well there is two versions of the album, one with vocals and an instrumental version. I only listen to the instrumental version because I just don't like the death metal vocals)
Tale of Diffusion - Adventures of Madnorious (The Bird)

Goblin--Back To The Goblin (2005.)
Incredible instrumental album filled with beautiful crescendo, arpeggios and haunting bass lines by Fabio Pignatelli. :) Look out for tracks like Japanese Air, Dlen Dlon and Lost In The Universe. Beautiful album. |

In the 90's I bought a great 2CD set which included Symphonic Pictures, Sunburst, Ticket to Everywhere and a couple live bonus tracks...don't know if it's still available.

Absolutely. Thanks, and that's the one missing from my collection. Great album! Next on my "to buy" list. |

I'd also recommend SFF's 2nd album "Sunburst" ('77). Along with "Symphonic Pictures" they make a great pair.

I never post anything anywhere without doing more than basic research, often in depth.

I'd also add the 1st Shadowfax album, Watercourse Way (though 1 song does have minimal vocals).

Might have mentioned this one before, but TRENT REZNOR's
THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO soundtrack is brilliant along with his infamous GHOSTS album. Trent and Atticus Ross work so well together. They create Dark, moody music that makes you think. :) |

Forgot the Dixie Dregs!! Eclectic prog at its finest. For two of their albums, “Unsung Heroes” and “Industry Standard”, they shortened their name to The Dregs, before they broke up the first time.
Some of Steve Howe’s solo works are all-instrumental, such as “Turbulence” and “Quantum Guitar.” If you like Jade Warrior, “Blue Star” by Gurumander and Friends is highly recommended. It was marketed more as a New Age album but don’t let that fool you. Amazing space guitar, Pink Floyd fans might like it too. Readily available thru Amazon, BTW. |

Yes, yes - and YES! Also, try Dave Bainbridge, Veil of Gossamer (97% instrumental)...
