Gotta agree there - Vivaldi kicks butt.

Here's a couple of cool instrumentals:

Andy McKee - Drifting (Went viral some years ago, so you may have heard it. Got more than 30 million views. Still sounds amazing.)

And here's something unusual:
Matthias Loibner playing some awesome electric hurdy-gurdy

Gotta love unusual instruments.

Debussy's Clair de Lune. I really enjoy it in that car commercial and at the end of the more recent Ocean's Eleven.
Zamfir's Lonely Shepherd
Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue
Copland's Fanfare for the Common Man
Tomoyasu Hotei's Battle Without honor or Humanity fromt he Kill Bill soundtrack
Of course, The Ride of the Valyries.
The introduction to Also sprach Zarathustra
Khachaturian's Sabre Dance
Fucik's well-known march, Entry of the Gladiators

I'm trying to stay away from soundtrack music because there was a recent thread on favourite soundtracks and I don't want to get too repetitive.

Ah, i really like that one..

My most listened to Instrumental track is from a composer called Ludovico Einaudi (i think he's coming to England soon. Might go and see him) . Anyway this is the track "SvanireSvanire[/url]"

"To the Horizon" by Lind Erebos, from the King's Bounty: Armored Princess soundtrack.



Lurve it.

[Veange]

J-Walk - Soul Vibration

[Sand King]

A Victory For Stumpy
Triumphant Return

[TheSpaceKraken]

My favourite violin piece of all time.  Currently attempting to learn this.

[Outamyhead]

Pretty much anything by Rob Dougan, Clubbed to Death 1&2, Furious Angels, or I'm Not Driving Anymore (there was a 2 disc version with the instrumental version of the album included).

Tom Waits is perhaps best known as a lyricist, but he's written some great instrumentals too, and often includes an instrumental or two on his albums.

A far too gorgeusly beautiful short instrumental piece:
Fawn
In a similar vein, though more jazzy:
Closing Time

Something else altoghether:
Russian Dance
Tango Circus Girl

There's also a YouTube user by the name of Waitswatcher who makes mostly instrumental versions of Waits material. Very high quality too. Here's an example:
Back In The Good Old World

[/tomwaitsfanboymode]

I love you.

I also love the Dirty Three.  Pretty much anything by them will do, but this song is a favorite.

Honorable mentions include the Boxhead Ensemble, certain Yo La Tengo songs (maybe I'll think of some specifics later), Glenn Branca, and plenty of others.

I view classical stuff as a separate sort of category, so I'll leave it out of here.

Oh, and Jim O'Rourke's album Bad Timing.

[Blind Bard]

Eric Johnson - Cliffs of Dover

Savatage - Labyrinths

And while I wouldn't call them instrumental per se, although technically they are:

Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata

Albinoni's Adagio for Strings in G Minor , also performed by The Doors

The so-called "Amleto" in Corfu, or Franco Faccio's "Hamlet", as performed by the Philarmonic Company of Corfu, in Easter. The quality is bad here but the music can be heard and that's all that matters.

Glad to see others appreciate Waits too.

I've heard a few Yo La Tengo songs, but haven't yet really looked into them more deeply. Didn't they do something with Daniel Johnston? 

Haven't heard The Dirty Three before, but that was interesting. Have to look into the band.

Have you listened to the Tinhat Trio? They do mostly instrumentals, but often have visiting artists doing vocals on songs, and Karla Kihlstedt, the violinist, is also an excellent vocalist.

Here's one instrumental example: Tin Hat Trio - Fire Of Ada

[Funkcase]

Zomby - Digital fauna



M.I Loki - Life. It has some speaking at the start though and again halfway through, but it is a gem.



Coki - spongebob



Darkstar - Break



Grifta - Curbside



Skream - Chest boxing



I will just leave you with that for now, dont want you having a overdose lol.

[DigitalOrigami]

Entire Jade Empire soundtrack.

[nremies1]

Two of my faves, both from Metallica: Orion, or The Call of Ktulu

Seconded. Also, his name might be old news, but I do really like some of composer Tan Dun's offerings (he of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and Hero soundtrack fame). And someone mentioned the Yoshida Brothers, who produce jaw-droppingly awesome music.

For classical music, I'm a big fan of Pachelbel's Canon in D and Debussy's Claire de Lune. Beyond that, I can't think of any purely instrumental tracks that are all-time favorites, since these days I tend to listen to world music influenced by electronica and with vocal samplings thrown in. Will work on broadening my listening repertoire, and then I'll get back to this thread.
