Out of those, I would choose Mike Oldfield - Tubular Bells, because that guy is a genius, playing almost all the instruments on his albums and maikng it sound like it came from heaven isn't something that everyone can achieve. But there are many other instrumentals that I like:

Porcupine Tree - The Sky Move Sidways

Genesis - Horizon

Yes - The Clap

- Comme Un Fou, Tout Est Si Clair -

Of what's on offer:-King Crimson - Red

King Crimson - Asbury Park
Frank Zappa - Peaches en Regalia
VdGG - Theme One
Neu - Hallogallo
Kraftwerk - Kometmelodie 2

That'll do for now

Out of that lot, I voted Red by KC..

Best instrumentals IMO are:

La Villa Strangiato - Rush

YYZ - Rush

Los Endos - Genesis

Unquiet Slumbers/In that quiet earth - Genesis

Lunar Sea - Camel

Chord Change - Camel

 

Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy!

Camel, Focus and Pink Floyd made the best (easy listening) instrumentals. The Snow Goose album by Camel, Focus, Hamburger Concerto are among my favourites.

Bravo to JrKASperov (Fracture!) and threefates (though I might have chosen The Barbarian).  Also missing is one I totally expected to see: Dance of Eternity by Dream Theater.

Of the ones in the poll, it would be a hard choice between PF and KC.

Peace.

Not much of a choiceConfused, but TB from those listed.

I'd have liked an "other" option, I reckon Sylvia by Focus is my all time favourite.

How about Telstar by The Tornadoes? (no, I'm not being ironic).
