Posted May 7, 200520 yr comment_2023336 Real simple. I am making a comp of instrumentals to gear up for graduate school when I decide to go back. I need some instrumental suggestions. I'll start it off... Ray Charles- One Mint Julep Booker T and the MGs- Time Is Tight Ted Nugent- Home Bound
May 7, 200520 yr comment_2024438 Spacemen 3 - "Suicide" Phill Niblock - "Trombone Piece" Lou Reed - "Metal Machine Music"
May 7, 200520 yr comment_2031583 Apocalyptica - Prologue (Apprehension) It's metal played with cellos. Dead serious. Plus Dave Lombardo!
May 10, 200520 yr comment_2068004 Tortoise - "TNT" Unwound - "Radio Gra" (I've got a mix of this song that cuts out a great deal of the junk at the beginning, if you like) The Fucking Champs - "Never Enough Neck" (Parts 1 & 2) Radiohead - "Kid A" (I know there are vocals, but the lyrics are so indiscernible that they essentially serve as background noise) There's a ton of good classical music that you could put down here as well, but I'm assuming that you want contemporary music.
May 10, 200520 yr comment_2068163 I don't know if this counts, but I really like Electric Light Orchestra's "Daybreaker".

May 10, 200520 yr comment_2070036 Aphex Twin - Rhubarb That's the only one I can think of. As a rule, I'm not a huge fan of instrumentals.
May 10, 200520 yr comment_2070064 Yeah, there's actually a lot of Aphex Twin that you could pilfer for this. I'd look towards Selected Ambient Works II, personally. Another good IDM candidate for this would be Boards of Canada, specifically Music Has The Right To Children.
