That's a really cool live album. Nice versions of "Touch and Go," "From the Beginning" and "Knife Edge" on it. Sanctuary did reissue it a couple years after Metal Mind, but for whatever reason they left off the piano solo. I got the MM version when it was new, and I prefer its cover to the (white) Sanctuary/Castle editions: |

Strangely enough, I have that problem with songs, not instrumentals. With instrumentals: I hear a recognizable melody, a theme, a motif, some remarkable passage that speaks for itself, and I'll remember the name of the piece. With songs, however: if I heard a bunch of songs that were written and produced in the same style by the same band, and I'm listening to the instrumental intro of the song, I probably won't recognize it until the lyrics kick in. E.g., I heard a familiar Steely Dan song and thought: "Could it be 'Home At Last' or 'I Got The News' ?" Nope. I was wrong. When the chorus kicked in, turns out it was ... "Bad Sneakers". Shame on me. Again, like I said, I have this problem with songs, not with instrumentals. I think it all really depends on how boring or how overdone the music is. There are tons of instrumentals I remember by name. I mean, we are talking all eight tracks off of Inner Mounting Flame, "La Villa ... ", "Ice", "After The Ordeal", "Wedding Nails", "Supertwister", "YYZ" ... the list is endless, really. Why bother sorting/ranking?

See, I've been a fan of instrumentals since as far back as 85, I was in a big jazz phase, followed shortly thereafter by a love of just about everything that Jean-Michael Jarre did. Ironically enough, the only thing that I didn't really like from him as a kid was Zoolook which is one of my favorites by him as an adult. Anyways, for a while a lot of the alternative bands (and this was back when alternative meant different) would throw an instrumental on their albums that was really good. Saudade and elgia in particular are both really good.
Now, of course, there's the Genesis and related artists collection, but yeah, I'm pretty good with instrumentals.

Nice call on a relatively obscure track by Tony, found only on his long-OOP Soundtracks. That CD (was also released on cassette!) has some very cool music. |

Thanks, I had the casette for years but never found a reasonably priced CD version of it. I went on a tear about ten years ago and hoooked my tape deck up to the computer with some recording software and made a digital version of it. I may still have the original casette in a box somewhere.

Same here (same year, too!). For quite a while I listened exclusively to lyric-free music after I discovered Tangerine Dream, Goblin and everything thereafter.
Like Jan Hammer's definitive 2CD of Miami Vice music, it's outrageously priced. I had it on cassette first, and then luckily I found a CD when the price hadn't yet bloated to that of an iced kidney on the black market. |

Most of what I can think of have already been listed, but Ephemeral Sun's album Harvest Aorta with Spring Song, Prism and the title track are worthy of mentioning.
