Music Suggestion

[KingDan]

I am looking to download some more music, and I want purely instrumental. No words. I will listen to anything, other than classical stuff such as Bach. Not in the mood

Any suggestions?

GodSpeed! You Black Emperor and Explosions in the Sky. Not sure if this is what you are looking for.

Never heard of explosions in the sky but I will give them a listen.

Godspeed You Black Emperor was exactly what I was looking for.

Godspeed is pretty intense. If you do some research on them, you will find them even more intense. Some of the members formed another band. I can't quite recall the name, but i think it was "On Top of Silver Mt. Zion". Something like that. Glad you liked it.

M83 is pretty tight. Ratatat is amazing- just two dudes on guitars and a drum machine.

[IggyWH]

There's a few songs where words are involved, but I enjoy Robert Miles. Dreamland is definitely the best album.

Rob Dougan put out some great instrumental stuff on his Furious Angels CD. The only issue with the rest of the CD is that there are vocals (which I enjoy).

My suggestion: Find the instrumental version of his "Nothing at All."

[trying2learn]

i think the blue man cd's are great...interesting instrumental movements.

I don't remember anything ever, which is part of why I am so uncool. The only reason I remembered the Tortoise album is because several indie-rock fascists are beating me with their shoulder bags and the record fell out of one and landed in my lap.

Also, the OP should really get "Giant Steps" by John Coltrane.

[JoshuaD]

Dave Brubeck.

This is late enough in teh thread that you'll probably ignore my post, Don't. Download Dave Brubeck.

I don't know how you don't remember this. You even told me that the Good Charlotte shirt would make me punk rock.

Is it bad if people constantly ask me about things that I have no recollection of, and assert their veracity?

Dave Brubeck is very good. "Take Five" is a very good album.

[mike4bmp]

Burning Spears usually releases nice dubbed albums with no lyrics...usually used by Dance Hall reggae DJs...but some good looped reggae beats.

[dibbs]

Keith Jarrett- The Koln Concert, incredibly dope piano jazz stuff

[zephed]

Link Wray, some of it at least. "Rumble" is on the Pulp Fiction soundtrack.

[smokingrobot]

instrumental:
don caballero
turring machine (their most recent release is really good)
rjd2
explosions in the sky
i think juno is instrumental, at least all the tracks i've heard (the split ep w/ dismemberment plan)
prefuse 73
some shellac is instruamental, or has only a few lines
umm, i feel like im forgetting a ton of my cd collection.

[smokingrobot]

ratatat is awesome.

i went to one of their shows and felt like an old man though, i think the crowd's average age was like 16. or at least thats how it looked.

man. youve left me with a dilemma. i thought you had horrid taste in music because you said yngwie wasnt a good musician and then you have to name a ridiculously skilled band like this? what am i supposed to think now?

rj

[imported_The Vibesman]

Booker T and the MG's, any record except for McLemore Avenue, which actually isn't bad, just misguided.

[KJS]

Jazz:

John Coltrane, A Love Supreme
Charles Mingus, Blues & Roots
Lee Morgan, Tom Cat

Surf:

Galaxy Trio, Saucers Over Vegas
Man or Astroman?, Is It...Man or Astroman?
Satan's Pilgrims, Plymouth Rock: The Best of Satan's Pilgrims

Other:

Dirty Three, Horse Stories
Dirty Three, Ocean Songs
Dirty Three, Whatever You Are, You Love

Dirty Three are a 3 piece: Guitar, Drums, Violin. Haunting, melodic, emotional, beautiful music.

Can give you tons more jazz suggestions if you want.

prefuse 73


[/ QUOTE ]

esp. prefuse 73 reads the books.

actually.... anything by the books. if you only get one album though, get the lemon of pink.

[correia]

This album is like a long jam session. One of my favorites.

If you can find it...Paul Galbraith is an amazing 8 string guitarist. He has a 2 disc album out that's entirely Bach "covers" (if you can call them that). It's absolutely amazing. He keeps all of the melodies going by himself and the notes are incredibly clean/clear. Highly, highly recommended. Brandenburg concertos, specifically #5 if you're looking just for Bach.

i remember Sweep the Leg Johnny (yes very gay name) being insanely good instrumental math rock as well. they might have a tiny bit of vocals, but i can't remember, as i'm not into instrumental bands.

[thewarden]

It's usually one of those cleaning the house soundtracks or music to improve math skills ...

[JaBlue]

GY!BE as mentioned earlier in the thread is good

I also like Mogwai

[PITTM]

if you want math rock and dont mind a lot of yelling and extreme heaviness, this choice is an easy dillinger escape plan.

hmm all i can think of right now.

[smokingrobot]

i've been meaning to pick up that prefuse 73 reads the books disc. its good? i have thought for food by the books which is pretty good too. i'll hafta pick up the lemon of pink as well.

i forgot all about the books.

[Zygote]

if you don't mind a bit of heavy stuff, then, download "liquid tension experiment". All very talented musicians. If you like R & B or Jazz, then, download "New Deal", "DJ Logic" or "RJD2".

[mason55]

If you like The Books and like Prefuse 73 you'll love the album.

If you have Surrounded by Silence then one of the tracks on there is a track they did together and that's pretty much how the whol EP sounds.

[smokingrobot]

technical proficiency and good music are entirely separate things.

that said, yngwie still sucks at making music.

[smokingrobot]

battles (b ep is really good)
(ex guitarist from don cab and guys from storm and stress)

[smokingrobot]

epiphone too.
