Instrumental Music - 02-10-2011, 11:46 PM

I really like instrumental music and I want to know what other users usually hear or like about instrumental music.

Feel free to post videos, talk about what do you feel when you hear the music that you are posting and coment about what other users post. All musical styles are allowed, but have to be a instrumental performance.

I didn't put this topic on Japanese Music in reason to give liberty to the users to post music from all parts of the world.

I'm starting with three songs:

1-Choro de Criança - Artist: Kiko Loureiro

Very calm and enjoyable song, the name Choro de Criança is Child's cry in portuguese.

Kiko Loureiro plays guitar on a metal band called Angra, but that music is in No Gravity album, his solo work. In some interviews Hizaki(Versailles) said that he likes to hear Angra songs. Kiko is one of my prefered guitar players.

2-Final Fantasy theme (FFIV Prologue) - Composed by Nobuo Uematsu and Interpreted by Prima Vista Philharmonic Orchestra

This music how can you see is from Final Fantasy, It was composed for Final Fantasy IV (SNES). It's played when Cecil left Baron Castle after his discusion with the king not much after the begining of the game. In other games of Final Fantasy series this song can be heard in the final credits. This song really touch my heart, I get quite close to cry when I hear.

3- Metal Gear Main Theme - Composed By Tappi Iwase (TAPPY) and modified by Harry Gregson-Williams

Metal Gear Main Theme, one of my favorite themes. This song simply summarize Solid Snake being. It was composed by TAPPY for Metal Gear Solid and modified to this version by Harry Gregson-Williams for Metal Gear Solid 2.

Hello, I love instrumental music. Specially post-rock for its build-ups.

Here are some bands I like:

YouTube - east hastings-godspeed you black emperor
The song is about 20 minutes long, so It's not the full song. My favorite part(on the youtube video) is around 5:27 min till the end.

YouTube - And So I Watch You From Afar @ The Voiceless
October 26 2010, I traveled from Monterrey, Mexico to Austin, Texas just to see my favorite band. "envy" a Japanese screamo/post-rock band. Before envy played I was bored because I didn't care about the other bands, but then I heard in the background this song from the band And so I watch you from afar, and fell in love with it, of course it is just instrumental.

YouTube - Explosions in the Sky - Magic Hour
Explosions in the sky, I love the part at 3:19 till the end!.

YouTube - NIN - A Warm Place
Apart from post rock I like other kind of instrumental music. This one is a perfect example from NIN. I always listen to this song at night watching the stars with a cigar in hand.

YouTube - MONO - Pure As Snow (Trails Of The Winter Storm), 5.9.09 Le Poisson Rouge, NY
One of my favorite post rock bands from Japan is Mono. I'll leave this live performance.

Other bands I like are Mogwai and Sigur Ross for example. I also listen to a lot of soundtrack from video games and movies.

Wow the NIN music is very calm and the video is ..., I can't define that. The other songs are awesome, especially Magic hour.

Odeon - performed by Ronaldo Sontag, composed by Ernesto Nazareth

Fast and impressive song, very hard to play. It was composed by Ernesto Nazareth in 1912. The first time I heard that song was on TV many years ago, is one of most impressive songs I have heard.

Tapping into my Dark Tranquility - Kiko Loureiro

Another very calm and enjoyable song made by Kiko Loureiro. Despite being a metal guitarist, his versatility is very striking. He plays the song using tapping technique only, justifying the name of the song.
