Favorite instrumentals

[Holly]

I have always loved - Jessica by the Allman Bros

I doubt if this qualifies as instrumental because its all computer generated but have you seen the “Animusic” things on PBS? They’re interesting to watch. Reminds me of old pinball machines for some reason. http://www.animusic.com/downloads.html

I've always liked Sparks by The Who

I have the soundtrack (thank you for ordering it for me, Musicland!!) and I love it soooo much! My fave instrumental is The House Rising (makes me cry) because it's very powerful. The main character (Mrs. Brisby) is running all gamut of emotions. Her house has to be moved and the rats of NIMH are trying to move it, and her kids are trapped inside. She feels relief, then, the stone starts to sink in the mud, then panic sets in, then defeat when the stone completely sinks. She's lost hope...then, she uses the necklace that Nicodemus gave her to give her strength and courage to lift the stone up from the mud and it floats to the safe place. I've seen this cartoon so many times in my life, I can listen to the soundtrack and see the movie in my head. LOL

One of my fave movies of all time.

I've seen "Stephanie" mentioned a few times in this thread, but I'm surprised no one has yet mentioned "Django". It's short, but I love it. Especially the way it perfectly sets up (and bleeds into) "Races Are Run".

Also, there's a Prince instrumental that I used to loooooove. It's at the end of the "Under the Cherry Moon" soundtrack. Can't think of the name right now -- must go look it up...

Ooh, I love Oscillate Wildly, too.

My favorite instrumental is Is That Your Zebra? by Sam Phillips off Fan Dance. At least I consider it an instrumental.

My favorite FM instrumental is Sunny Side of Heaven.
