So I have recently been into instrumental albums a lot lately. I have already found a lot of the newer more popular instrumental bands/musicians such as Polyphia, Jason Richardson, Plini, Intervals, etc. I also have really been into the "Prog/Jazz Fusion" bands, (I don't know the exact name of the style) such as the Dixie Dregs in their What If album, and Return to Forever in their Romantic Warrior album. That is the sound that most caught my attention so I am definitely looking for some bands along that style. I am also aware of some of the "pure prog" like Focus and Samla Mammas Manna. So I guess my three questions are First, what are some good instrumental albums (preferably "Prog/Jazz Fusion")? Secondly what are some good instrumental albums to of come out this year (I'm trying to make a top 5 list for fun)? Lastly, what are your more obscure Instrumental recommendations?

These are just a few worthy listens. I probably forgot a few. Dewa Budjana The Aristocrats Animals as Leaders Pat Metheny Nova Collective Lean-Luc Ponty Chick Corea Elektric Band Antoine Fafard FAT - Fabulous Austrian Trio Helmet of Gnats Hiromi Allan Holdsworth Marco Minnemann - Broken Orange (mostly instrumental) Simon Phillips Protocol Tauk Bill Bruford solo and Earthworks Tohpati Trioscapes Morglbl Evan Brewer Brand X That should keep you busy for awhile. |

Ozric Tentacles for the win. Not mentioning them is like not mentioning Yes or Genesis in a list of symphonic bands. Djam Karet also. Also, most fusion(jazz rock fusion) is instrumental for the most part. Same thing with post rock(if that's your thing). Check the band and if there's vocals listed you can avoid it.
Someone mentioned All Traps on Earth and Wobbler. Well, if you mention them you have to mention Anglagard. Also, "the snowgoose" by Camel and "....di terra" by Banco.

Squintaloo - Über Bord Hands down my favourite instrumental album of the decade. Their self titled album is outstanding as well. Also check out: The Pneumatic Transit Mother Turtle The Physics House Band Gösta Berlings Saga ------------- https://www.last.fm/user/Tapfret" rel="nofollow">  https://bandcamp.com/tapfret" rel="nofollow - Bandcamp |
