Maybe it is just me. Actually, it probably is just me, but I tend to listen to instrumental only albums as a whole entity and really can't distinguish one instrumental from another by title. If I were to hear it on the radio hahahahahaha I might recognize immediately who the band is, but I'd probably have no idea what the song title was or maybe even which album it is from. Whereas, if the instrumental is included as part of an album with vocals, there is a better chance that I will know the song title and album. Maybe this a Rush-centric thing for me, where I immediately recognize YYZ or La Villa Strangiato, or just a classic radio history where I recognize Wipeout, 1. Rush - YYZ 2. Rush - La Villa Strangiato 3. Dream Theater - Ytse Jam 4. Van Halen - Eruption 5. Steve Howe - The Clap 6. The Sufaris - Wipeout 7. Johnny Winter - Frankenstein 8. 9. Metallica - The Call of Ktulu 10. Led Zeppelin - Moby Dick Or something like that. I am curious to see other people's lists. I suspect that there will be a number of Genesis and King Crimson instrumentals included that I left off of my list. A few of them would probably make my list except that I don't know them by name, so that precludes them from doing so.  Damn. Have to think if I can think of a tenth instrumental I even know by name. Oh well. Guess I'll replace it with another Rush song. Changed to Jessica from the Allman Brothers. Although thinking Frank Zappa's Peaches en Regalia might be a good choice too.-------------

1. Rush - La Villa Strangiato 2. Edgar Winter - Frankenstein 3. Metallica - Orion 4. Led Zeppelin - Moby Dick 5. Beardfish - Akabotu (may not be able to pronounce it correctly though  )6. Death - Voice of the Soul 7. Devin Townsend - Down and Under (has vocals and what sound like words, but lyric websites list it as instrumental) 8. Gorguts - Sweet SIlence 9. Intronaut - The Reptilian Brain 10. Jethro Tull - Warm Sporran I experience the same thing with bands that solely write instrumentals and bands with permanent vocalists--I can name every Rush instrumental including O'Malley's Break, but play a random Animals as Leaders song for me and there's about a 1 in 9 chance I'd get it right. Also I completely forgot to think of King Crimson instrumentals! I'll leave it to someone else.

Yeah I understand that tracks are not instrumental as a whole, I reminded them when read your mention of La Villa Strangiato, which features some Lee's kinda "yellings" & "jingles"(don't find the right word for that). ------------- "Music is a higher revelation than all wisdom and philosophy."

Rather than a top 10, I had too many, so I went ahead and listed all of my favorites that are instantly recognizable. Not everything here is prog, but that's not what you asked for.  The Alan Parsons Project - I Robot Allman Brothers Band - Jessica Camel - Supertwister, Aristillus Dream Theater - Ytse Jam, Stream of Consciousness ELO - Fire on High ELP - The Barbarian, Fanfare for the Common Man Eric Johnson - Cliffs of Dover Focus - Sylvia Frank Zappa - Peaches En Regalia Genesis - Horizons, After the Ordeal King Crimson - Larks' Tongues in Aspic - Part II, Red Led Zeppelin - Moby Dick Metallica - The Call of Ktulu, Orion Mike Oldfield - Tubular Bells Miles Davis - So What Pink Floyd - One of These Days, The Great Gig in the Sky Rush - La Villa Strangiato, YYZ Traffic - Glad Van Halen - Eruption Both Rush ones that I listed as well as Jessica by the Allman Bros are easily my favorites from this list. There are other Zappa songs I like better, but Peaches is the on that I remember the name without trouble. Same with Miles Davis, 'So What' is so easy to pick out, but I don't really recall many other names. As for Metallica, those are probably my favorites songs of theirs since there isn't any vocals. ------------- Want to play mafia? Visit http://www.mafiathesyndicate.com" rel="nofollow - here . |

5. Black Sabbath - "Laguna Sunrise"
6. Led Zeppelin - "Bron-Yr-Aur" (although I've probably been pronouncing it wrong..."Brawn Yar!!"
7. Iron Maiden - "Genghis Khan"
8. Venom - "Mayhem With Mercy"
9. Mercyful Fate - "To One Far Away"

Yeah, "Fluff" deserves a mention but it's almost too...um...fluffy.  "Orchid" is that little acoustic guitar ditty on Master Of Reality and "Laguna Sunrise" is a beautiful bugger from Volume 4. In a way 8 and 9 are like those in that they're serene little acoustic ditties surrounded by a full-on metal onslaught, making them easy to remember name-wise since they stick out like sore thumbs on the albums they're on, like a nice breath of fresh air before more craziness ensues. "Sunny Side Of Heaven" is from the Bare Trees album, which came out during that oddball era of Fleetwood Mac post Green and pre-Buckingham/Nicks. The main melody repeats itself a lot but it's so damn gorgeous I'm not bothered in the least. I sort of busted out these ten real fast; if I thought more I would included "Hairless Heart" from Genesis and some others. |

I thought Frankenstein was The Edgar Winter Group? anyway there are loads of instrumentals I love and know by name a small selection of my favourites: ELP - Hoedown Rick Wakeman - Catherine Parr Martin Orford - Speed and Power Rush - YYZ East Of Eden - Jig a Jig Hot Butter - Popcorn (yes I do like that!) Space - Magic Fly JMJarre - Oxygene Part2 Love Sculpture - Sabre Dance Yes - Cinema

What does The Edgar Winter Group sound like? I think we could also add Rick Wakemans' Jane Seymour and Catherine Howard. It would be nice also to add Catherine of Aragon, but maybe wouldn't fit here because of that female chorus, it is another great track anyway. From ELP I enjoyed Promenade very much, and the Promenade I & III are instrumental - I think also worth mentioning here. I need to know ELP better, from BSS I knew only the incredible Jerusalem. But from Trilogy infortunately I actually enjoyed only The Endless Enigma (pt. 1 & 2.) ------------- "Music is a higher revelation than all wisdom and philosophy." LvB |

The only ones I have difficulty with are the albums full of seguing instrumentals like "Wind & Wuthering" and "Islands" with titles don't really fit the music. All Rush instrumentals are instantly recognisable though, and the titles usually fit them

I could have included anything from Six Wives. The whole album is a masterpeice. ELP have many instrumentals and Hoedown is my favourite. Other notable ones: The Barbarian Tank Infinite Space Fugue (middle bit of Endless Enigma) Abaddons Bolero Toccata Karn Evil 9 2nd Impression Fanfare For The Common Man Canario Romeo and Juliet Changing States well worth youtubeing some of those On the Edgar Winter Group you must watch this.

Thank you Richardh! for your suggestions, Fugue is from Trilogy too, isn't it? Yes I gave it another chance and it's a nice piano piece, and as you very well pointed it nicely goes by the middle of the wonderful Endless Enigma for me too. I noticed you didn't mention Tarkus as one of your favourites. But Karn Evil 9 I enjoyed it entirely! At the first listen I enjoyed mostly the 1st. and the 3rd. impressions (stunning passages!). And what a superb tracks are Romeo And Juliet & Changing States! Believe it or not - since the time I was just a boy until now I didn't know yet that a really fantastic music passage used as a curtain of a TV sport program was from the ELP's track Fanfare For The Common Man! What a good surprise... So uniquely nice to listen to it again after so much time man! I recognized it instantly just at its beggining, but it's amazing in its entirety and a must have track from ELP I think! Even if it has also a sentimental value for me. I'm just so glad to know these superb tracks, an amazing experience to me, being caught now even better by this fantastic band's style, really enjoying them even more now. I'd like to know 21st Century Schizoid Man too, it's too much mentioned in PA Forum, as well as many others too. I think I'll begin looking for the album "Black Moon", isn't it great too? It might be at a stunning acquisition, don't you think? Yeah the Edgar Winter Group has a powerful sound indeed, this track seemed to me being a bit jazz influenced, am I right? But that's what unfortunately is a difficulty I've always had with the rock music in general, which almost always features these influences in diverse degrees I think. Cream for example is a band I never could really like more than some tracks from them, even though there are quite a few songs from Eric Clapton's solo works that I enjoy a lot. ------------- "Music is a higher revelation than all wisdom and philosophy."

I tend to see Tarkus as one complete piece of music but then there are some great instrumental passages , none better than Eruption probably one of the best moments in prog. As a 14 year old I was totally hooked when I first heard that! Karn Evil 9 - Yep ELP never bettered it Fanfare For The Common Man in its album form is something different. Once you get past the well known single portion it takes on a life of its own. 'Unique' as you say and endorsed by Aaron Copeland. Classical composers contrary to popular opinion do like to have their music meddled with! Black Moon - yep its a solid release but over time doesn't stack up against ELP's best. Its a nice release but there are literally 1000's of prog albums that are better. Edgar Winter Group - I know very little about this group other than the title track. Excuse the pun but it is an absolute 'monster'. Yep everything but the kitchen sink is thrown in. Sometimes that can 'offend' the ears but for me it centers on a great riff and the section with the ascending keyboard synth sequence is total genius. Visually its so brilliant as well.Did you notice that Edgar is an 'albino'? What with the white hair as well. A true 'one off'. Cream were an important band but I'm with you in that I only care for a few tracks.Tales Of Brave Ulysees being high up there. I would be a fan if they had done more of that. |

^Recently I've been searching for other ELP performances of this sublime piece of music, and these are the single versions I already know that exist: Rubicon (1998) - 2:30 min. long; Affairs Of The Heart (CD Single 1992) - 5:42 min. long. But imo Fanfare For The Common Man in its album form is not only something different like Richardh pointed out, it has also that brilliant and genuine touch so characteristic of this fantastic band that recently turned out to be one of my BIG favourites, everytime that I listen to them I find some new incredibly beautiful subtilties. Btw I would like so much to know from the ELP specialists what are their impressions about other performances of the Fanfare For The Common Man, like the ones below, as unfortunately I couldn't purchase these albums yet, but can't wait to know them: Best Of The Bootlegs (CD2 2002) - more than 14:30 min. long; Then & Now (CD2 1998 ) - more than 22 mins. long.

There are so many versions of Fanfare For The Common Man It often included an extended version of the track Rondo. ELP were quite fond of tacking this on so Emerson could do his knife thing. The version they played at Montreal Olympic Stadium in 1977 with orchestra is my favourite although the full version is only available on the video ( It was horribly edited on Works Live). There is also a good version on the Live at Nassau Coliseum album from around the same time ( but no orchestra). The 90's versions often included other classical pieces. The Then and Now version includes some Carmina Burana I think. There is a also a great version on the Live In Poland album which I prefer more than the performance on Then And Now. The band considered it a bootleg though and wouldn't recognise it as an official release outside of Poland (licencing issues). With the official bootlegs series I tend to get a bit bored with them once you get past 1974. The Springfield Coliseum gig in 1974 is the apex of those series. Includes an amazing performance of Pictures At An Exhibition among other things. |

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:  ------------- https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_ipg=50&_sop=1&_rdc=1&_ssn=musicosm" rel="nofollow - eBay |

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.

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. ------------- -------someone please tell him to delete this line, he looks like a noob------- I don't have an unnatural obsession with Disney Princesses, I have a fourteen year old daughter and coping mechanisms. |

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. ------------- https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_ipg=50&_sop=1&_rdc=1&_ssn=musicosm" rel="nofollow - eBay |
