Music Finally, an entire forum devoted to talking about Doktor Avalanche, the drum machine for the Sisters of Mercy. You can talk about other bands, or other members of that band, too, if you want to be UNCOOL. |

Instrumental music
I did a search on this but didn't really come up with much so hopefully someone here will be able to inspire me. I'm looking for some instrumental music, haunting, moody, maybe a bit rocky, wether with more modern instruments or violins etc I don't mind. Something to just relax to, wether it is a soundtrack, a band or even individual songs.

Hmmm...
I like Sleeping with the Gods of Love by Dagda. It's good for relaxing or getting your sweet passionate wrastlin' on.
I also like the Braveheart soundtrack, that one is great.

You can find instrumentals on all Cradle of Filth albums. Another group to check out is Midnight Syndicate's album The 13th Hour. A good compilation album to look into if you like dark classical music is called Creepy Classics.

Nox Arcana are a must. But that's only classical music. I'm not sure about other styles.

If you after good instrumental music then I would reccomend anything by the following:
Yngwie Malmsteen: `Rising Force`
`Concerto Suite for Electric Guitar and Orchestra in E flat minor Op.1`
Steve Vai : `Passion and Warfare`
Alex Skolnick Trio : `Goodbye to Romance` (famous rock songs played by a Jazz trio, led by Testament virtuoso Alex Skolnick)
Rush: `Hemisperes`
`Farewell to Kings`
`Moving Pictures`
Rick Wakeman: `Journey to the Centre of the Earth`
`Six wives of Henry VIII`
Thats all I can think of at the moment.
Do you like classical music ?.

Oooh, a request for recommendations! Precisely my forté. Now let's just hope they don't fall on deaf ears...
Ok, I'll start with the more relaxing ones. We're talking slow-moving to mid-paced, placid, but still interesting instrumental (mostly guitar) music here. Some (the first four) with elements of electronica:
Tape, Mice Parade, The Album Leaf, Tristeza, Mono, Six Organs of Admittance, Loren MazzaCane Connors, Do Make Say Think (which also would fit in the next category).
Then for the more epic and/or rock-oriented instrumental stuff. Often featuring scraping strings, walls-of-feedback crescendos and songs lasting for over ten minutes:
Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Explosions in the Sky, Mogwai, 65daysofstatic, A Silver Mount Zion, Lemko Hall, Sigur Rós, Red Sparowes.
There are some cool instrumental metal/drone bands around, too. Some are more song-based and have smatterings of vocals here and there, others are content to let it rip with huge sheets of droning noise and slowly evolving soundscapes. The former first, latter (three) last:
The Fucking Champs (if you like classic 80's metal), Jesu, Isis, Nadja, Pelican, Cult of Luna, Sunn O))), Earth, The Goslings.
Ok, just a few more, from the "post-classical" camp. These are really nice:
Philip Glass, Rachel's, Max Richter, Amber Asylum.
There are more, but fuck it, these should be enough to keep anyone with half an ear for good music satisfied for a good few months or so.

Dream Theater has some really good instrumentals.
If you're a DT fan and you're looking for something maybe a bit more furious and faster, try Liquid Tension Experiment.
If you're into something more eigthies sounding, Yngwie Malmsteen rocks my metal socks.

Best instrumental song ever: Man on roof by Ozark Henry (ok, maybe not the best song, but it's gooood).
Might be hard to find for you, it's a Belgian band, but you can always try.

If you like classical music...
The Planets suite by Gustav Holst , this piece of music is fantastic.

Depeche Mode have instrumentals on most every cd, and several of their singles. The b-side of Little 15 contains an instrumental called "St Jarna" which is beautiful, rather dark, mostly piano, and Martin's version of Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata #14, C minor. There's also "Kaleid", "Memphisto" and "Sibeling" from Enjoy the Silence and Policy of Truth singles (violator days). Other DM instrumentals are Pimpf, Agent Orange, Christmas Island, Easter Island (?), Uselink, Jazz Theives, Headstar, Pain Killer, Easy Tiger, Lovetheme, Introspectre, among others. They're pretty big on instrumentals.
The Cure has an old one called Carnage Visors which is really long (close to 20 minutes i think), and appeared on the b-side of a special edition of Faith.
Other favorites are Midnight Syndicate, The Changelings (who have an excellent song called "Dreams in the Witch House"), and Thomas Newman - whose known for his theme song to HBO's Six Feet Under, most of the music on American Beauty, and the Green Mile. Among others.
