best instrumental albums? hey
since we're doing to 'best....albums' thing quite a lot these days, i think we can go with this one to. I have to admit i don't know a lot instrumental albums, but these are my favs: * Chet atkins : the essential * Chet Baker : the Italian sessions * Miles Davis : round about midnight * Prince : N.E.W.S * the good the bad and the ugly OST ps: sorry if a thread like this was already posted before, i checked but i might have missed it. grtz Kev1n It was not in vain...it was in Minneapolis! | |

I imagine there are far better albums than that one...but you have to have heard them first, no? I said I didn't own that many instrumental albums, and the ones I have are mostly acoustic guitar (chet atkins, etc)... It was not in vain...it was in Minneapolis! | |

Hands down it's "Romantic Warrior" by 'Return To Forever'. It just doesn't get any better than that! | |

... [Edited 2/11/05 12:31pm]  I'll NEVER get tired of the Man-Child album, I love Porgy and Bess, Copland, and man that brings me back seeing The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly listed.  My parents had that album and I really don't think I've listened to it since I was little.
I have to add these two as well as some of my favorites....

 Yes N'deed!! I love those two Jeff Beck albums!... Wired....well, I'm a big fan of early Narada Michael Walden anyway, and I love Jeff's playing there...and Blow by Blow is awesome! I gotta run home and listen to 'Diamond Dust' tonight!" I've got six things on my mind --you're no longer one of them." - Paddy McAloon, Prefab Sprout | |

Well this has one vocal song, and it is a film score but kiss my ass but don't bite as the devil wants it later:-
"the land before time" The rest are instrumentals and is so beutiful. I know it is from a kids cartoon but it is mature and it does me tearful at times (bloody film music)..... James Horner is the composer. | |

I wouldn't say this is the BEST I've heard, but its my favorite for now:
Greg Howe, Victor Wooten & Dennis Chambers - Extraction. This CD is HIGHLY underrated and will be one of those CDs that hits the instrumental community years later with people saying "How in the hell did I miss that?"  | |
