Yes, but most Rush lyrics are worth a thousand instrumentals if you ask me. And La Villa Strangiato is worth a thousand Rush lyrics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1-0-0-1-0-0-1 Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 I've been making my own prog/rock instrumental mix CDs for years (and cassettes before that). Half these songs make it onto every version (tradition!). I always try to stay away from guitar jam songs, which means no Joe Satriani-type stuff. I want true band instrumentals. Here's the track listing of the last one I did a few years ago: Yes - Cinema (90125) Kansas - The Spider (Point Of Know Return) Dixie Dregs - Holiday (Bring 'Em Back Alive) Bruford - Fainting In Coils (One Of A Kind) Rush - Where's My Thing? (RTB) Jeff Beck - Led Boots (Wired) Al Di Meola - Dinner Music Of The Gods (Splendido Hotel) Allan Holdsworth - City Nights (Secrets) Trevor Rabin - Sludge (Can't Look Away) Dixie Dregs - Attila The Hun (Unsung Heroes) Rush - Leave That Thing Alone! (CP) ELP - Hoedown (Trilogy) Eric Johnson - Cliffs Of Dover (Ah Via Musicom) Kansas - Magnum Opus (Leftoverture) Genesis - ...In That Quiet Earth (Wind And Wuthering) Dixie Dregs - Kashmir (Bring 'Em Back Alive) Rush - La Villa Strangiato (Hemispheres) Opening the CD with "Cinema" is a tradition. "City Nights" going into "Sludge" is a tradition because "City" ends with the sound of a beer being poured into a glass, and "Sludge" opens with somebody drinking something . Closing the CD with "La Villa"...tradition. Oh, and I named this compliation Exercises In Self-Indulgence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kudzu Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 Pink Floyd - "Interstellar Overdrive" Listening to it on 9412. It's like aural LSD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
floydfanatic111 Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 I also forgot 40% of Obscured by Clouds is instrumental. Obscured by Clouds, When You're In, Mudmen and Absolutely Curtains are superb instrumentals as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tangy Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 Into the lungs of hell- Megadeth (short but sweet) Fire Garden Suite- Steve Vai. Other than Mike Mangini playing drums on this tune, everything else is played by Steve. Some of his finest piano work IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rush! Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 Liquid Tension Experiment - Paradigm Shift, Universal Mind, Three Minute Warning, 914, When The Water Breaks Rush - La Villa Strangiato, YYZ, Where's My Thing, Leave That Thing Alone Edgar Winter Band - Frankenstein I'll think of more. I need to start listening to more instrumental albums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
