In the spirit of all the music related threads lately.

Mine are:
Kittie - Immortal
Apocalyptica - Nothing Else Matters
Switchblade Symphony - Bloody Knuckles
New Order - Elegia

That would be Moby -Everloving off "Play"

Surfing with the Alien - Joe Satriani

My top of the list is none other than Imperial March.

Other instrumental music I like are mostly Electronic music... you know, the likes of House and Digital Hardcore.

Here's some example:

Safri Duo - Played-A-Live (it ROCKS, baby!)

Azzido Da Bass - Doom's Night

Moby - James Bond's Theme (Moby remix)

Paul Oakenfold - James Bond's Theme (Bond vs Oakenfold)

Carl Cox - Manual

Expansion Union - Playing With Lightning (OST Blade)

The Crystal Methods - Name of the Game (OST Blade II)

The Crystal Methods - Trip Like I Do (OST Spawn)

The Prodigy - Breathe

Chemical Brothers - Star Guitar

Leftfield vs Fatboy Slim - Planet of the Phatbird (live on Brighton beach)

Robert Miles - Childern

Neglecting electronic music, I'd go with something by the Gypsy Kings, the name of which eludes me.

Sir Nitram's got me hooked on "Tank" (Opening theme to CowBoy BeBop), but I get to drive him crazy with Irish Folk Songs, including:

O'Carolyn's Lament
Se Beg, Se Meor
Ballad of the Elf King

and many more I can't recall the names of right now.

Sleepwalk, the best instrumental of all time.

Tank by Yoko Kanno is great also.

Wastleland from Cowboy Bebop. It's a very atmoshperic and haunted.

Variations on a Theme by Christophe Franke. All the B5 main themes worked into one. Very cool.

Geometry of Shadows another cool Christophe Franke peice. I love it.

Yes, yes, a gorgeous arrangement. The song feels almost like it was meant to be written for a group of cellos, it fits so well.

I love the song "Bomboleo" by them, but that has vocals in it, so I know that isn't what you're thinking of.



I don't know if some of these count as 'songs' as such, but mine are:

"A Mad Russian's Christmas" by Trans-Siberian Orchestra
"Helm's Deep" from TTT soundtrack, by H. Shore
"Samba Pa Ti" by Santana
"Scheherezade, Mvmt. III" by N. Rimsky-Korsakov
"Christmas Eve Montage" from "The Nightmare Before Christmas" by D. Elfman
"Tank!" by Y. Kanno
"Watchman, Tell Us of the Night" by M. Camphouse
"Fantasy Variations on a Theme by Paganini" by J. Barnes
"String Quartet in C Minor" by L. van Beethoven
"String Quartet in C-Sharp Minor" by L. van Beethoven
"Fireshaker" by M. Ferguson
"Land of Make Believe" by C. Mangione
"Bolero" by M. Ravel

Ummm, there are others, more jazz, especially--my mind is just blanking.....

Somehow the badass 'assassin-droid' thing you've got goin' on in your sig loses its edge when you post things like this.

Why? Can't an assassin droid be juvenile on occasion?

Until now, I had thought the answer to that question would have been 'no.'

I'll be able to think of more later. If only I could remember the titles off the Pan Ramajay album I have...
