Top 10 Favorite Instrumental Tracks
Just personal. Some technically aren't "instrumental" rrin the truest rsense (e.g. the Burial track). |
| 1 | Aphex Twin
Xtal
Simple beauty. |
| 2 | Scale the Summit
Whales
Not so simple beauty. |
| 3 | Burial
Etched Headplate
Mesmerizing. |
| 4 | Jean Michel Jarre
Oxygene 10
Those melodies . . . |
| 5 | Tangerine Dream
Phaedra
We're flying through space. Now we're going faster. Faster. Faster! FASTER!!
AUGGGHHHH!!! And now all is calm, but we don't know where we are. We
look around, and then we see something amazing . . . Yeah, this rules. |
| 6 | Medeski Martin and Wood
Ice
Very chill, if the pun police will forgive me. |
| 7 | Shpongle
Nothing is Something Worth Doing
The hang drum is now my favorite instrument because of this. |
| 8 | The Shoreways
I'll Be Thinking of You
Undiscovered genius. Seriously, somewhere around 100 people have ever
even heard this guy, but this track is amazing. Mundane office noises . . .
suddenly, a stunning ambient chord progression. The thoughts of the
person you love drown out the office noise, and the song bursts forth
joyously. Seriously, check this stuff out. The only places I know it exists are
myspace and last.fm. |
| 9 | Swarms
Flikr of Ur Eyes
Post-Step? I don't know, something like that. Genius either way. |
| 10 | Mae
Futuro
I like it. No further explanation is needed. |
