Are you familiar with Marty Friedman's Scenes? Very good album that was unusual considering his background with Cacophony and Megadeth...not to mention the Kitaro connection! |

Wow, I just realized how lacking my collection is in purely instrumental albums! Here's the only three I own in order of how much I like them: Anglagard - Viljans Oga (5 stars) Mahavishnu Orchestra - The Inner Mounting Flame (4.5 stars) Rick Wakeman - The Six Wives of Henry VII (3 stars) |

Instrumental Prog albums exclude PR and MR? For some reason the tag prog makes me think you're looking for something different.
