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. :D

Sleepwalk, the best instrumental of all time.

Tank by Yoko Kanno is great also.

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. :D



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

"Lullaby" by G. Gershwin (the original piano version, not the string quartet)
"Requiem" by W.A. Mozart
"Elsa's Procession to the Cathedral" by R. Wagner
"Mambo" from West Side Story, by L. Bernstein
"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
"Ballet Sacre" by D. Holsinger


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

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

Anything by Robert Miles, Tall Paul Oakenfold, and Joe Satriani. I also like the FF10 Boss theme, and the Seymour Battle theme. I got a ton of favorite instrumentals, and I'm being too lazy to list em here :D

OK, here's my additions (BTW, I've play the Mozart, Wagner, Mangione, and Ravel from your list):

"Children of Sanchez" by C. Mangione
"In the Spring When Kings Go Off To War" by D. Holsinger
"To Tame the Perilous Skies" by D. Holsinger

"Adagio for Strings" by S. Barber
"Concierto de Aranjuez" by J. Rodrigo
"A Last Illusion" by Trans-Siberian Orchestra (except for the two verses in Latin, it's instrumental :D )
"Christmas Eve/Sarajevo 12/24" by TSO

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