Animals as Leaders is a fantastic recommendation, especially their self-titled debut album. |

It may have been mentioned but I like jazz fusion that's melodic so I'll recommend Kenso and Ain Soph.....and Brand x.

instrumental music .... at some point you have to laugh about it.
is the voice an instrument? - i think so. is the voice not as listenable at times then other instruments? - i guess so. is there more (musical quality or just action) concentration and intensity in the other instruments if there is no voice "over" them? - maybe. my most influential non-vocal music (still containing vocal music partially): a lot of symphonic and folk music all over the place, the birth of music and instruments (just saying Peter and the Wolf) but definitely visit all great composers of symphonic music!! One of my (and a lot of others peoples) faves is Debussy. a lot of rock, jazz n electronics. King Crimson, Pink Floyd, Gentle Giant, Genesis, Mahavishnu Orchestra, Weather Report, Frank Zappa and Brian Eno are still Kings of music and have a lot to explore. Of course Yes is also a bright, bright shining star and also Spocks beard and The Flower Kings have masses of extremely good non-vocal stuff with an amazing interplay, fantastic sounds, melodys and rhythms. they all have massive instrumental sh*t!!! Its of course not easy to navigate throu the masses as not all is high quality. And sometimes you just have to "over" listen the voices. some uniques of mine: Liquid Tension Experiment (rock) Rypdal Vitous DeJohnette 1979 ECM (jazz classic) Bill Evans with Symphony orchestra (jazz) Chet Baker and Strings (jazz) Charles Mingus (let my children hear music) (jazz) Brand X (Moroccan Roll) (fusion) Thomas Newman (The Horsewhisperer) (symphonic/ambient/folk) Jade Warrior (Way of the Sun, Breathing the Storm, Floating World) (fusion, highly underrated!!!) David Sylvian/Nine Horses (fusion/electronic/folk/songwriter) Pat Metheny Group (The Way Up) (jazz/fusion) Talk Talk (Spirits of Eden) (new wave/jazz) Mum (mostly everything - electro analog fusion) Spaced Out (amazing sound and rhythms) Sebastiaan Cornelissen (some of the smoothest and at the same time trippy stuff around) Hardscore (amazing proggy jazz) Amon Tobin (highly creative electro) Four Tet (analog sampling) Grails (Black Tar Symphony) AMAZING!!! SO SO GOOD!!! The Ulver that works ;) some more stuff: L'Artichaut Orchestra (symphonic folk) Five Storey Ensemble (symphonic folk) Eyvind Kang (fusion) Build an Ark "Love" (jazz) Ecstasy Project Hanne Hukkelberg (analog electro fusion) Stringpuree Band (small, tight and creatvie jazz power trio from finland) Annuals (great electroacoustics) Indie Revenge (free jazz) The Books/Nick Zammuto (indie/electro) btw pekka pohjola is great! so the most instrumental music isnt rock!!! world - mind - dont be so restricted!

John G. Perry – Sunset Wading. Four tracks have vocals but they’re minimal. If you like his work with Caravan, Quantum Jump and Aviator you’ll like this. A great ensemble cast including Geoff Richardson, Michael Giles, Rupert Hine, members of Nova.

If you fancy some instrumental stoner rock with prog tendencies in the vein of Sabbath/Kyuss/Isis/Earthless, etc. try some Mothertrucker.....

Frob's pretty cool.
Anyone like Kaseke? A good Rush-styled instrumental trio is Blue Drift. I like their CD Mariner. |

Yes, lots of good stuff with those two. Oldfield: Tubular Bells Hergest Ridge Ommadawn Amarok The Killing Fields (film score) Wakeman: Six Wives Of Henry VIII Criminal Record White Rock (film score) The Burning (film score) G'ole (film score) Night Airs (one of his best solo piano albums) Family Album Themes 2000 A.D. Into The Future (this and Themes are his most electronic albums) Revisited Retro / Retro 2 (there are songs on those two, but the instrumentals on both are corkers) |

Jon Hiseman, Gary Moore, Don Airey (and some other guy)
BTW I found something remarkable about this band on the PA database. Their 3 albums have virtually an identical rating. WEIRD! anyway an excuse to put this album cover up |

Snarky Puppy--More jazz than prog, but generally fairly fusion-y. (Their latest is actually a collaboration with various jazz vocalists, but their others are all instrumental)
Blotted Science--Instrumental tech death metal. Pomegranate Tiger--Djenty metal. You'll probably hear influences from Animals as Leaders, Opeth, Gojira and other metal bands in them. Intervals--Decent djenty metal. Humanoid--Psych/Space (Only got one rating in the archives!) Tosin Abasi's and Misha Mansoor's recent two song collaboration--Nothing special, but worth a listen. Just YouTube it. |
