Says the guy who listens to Metallica.
Edit: for clarification, "At the Heart of It All" is actually a NIN remix by Aphex Twin that barely uses anything from the original song. It's utterly brilliant.
So it's actually an Aphex Twin track? Remixes don't count imo.

And as for Metallica, thanks for pointing me in the only right and proper musical direction
Your welcome.
Thanks for the 10 second demo of electro synth garble. I am now a convert :p

I stand by the point that NIN are crap and can't in all honesty sse the appeal.
Try to be the absolute least bit objective:
Quote Posted by wiki
The band produced several highly influential records in the 1990s that achieved widespread popularity and won two Grammy Awards. Many Nine Inch Nails songs became radio hits,[5] and NIN sold over 10 million albums in the United States.[6] In 2004, Rolling Stone placed Nine Inch Nails at 94 on their list of the 100 greatest music artists of all time.[7]
I know, I know, wiki isn't exactly the paragon of objectivity, but at least the footnotes are there.

what?
The Deus Ex main theme is generally considered to be one of the worst game tunes in history. I concur.

So, vulgar songs about anal penetration are deemed inspirational?
This thread is about instrumental tracks, not remixes by competent sound technicians. Maybe among all those albums theres some decent music, but from what I've heard it's all amateurish guff.
Edit, I love the DX theme tune, I wouldn't rock out to it, I don't do that anyway, but it sets the mood nicely.

As the above thread title says, list your top instrumental tracks. By instrumental, obviously songs with absolutely not a word in them. Purely drums, guitar, piano etc. Was sitting here listening to Oscillate Wildly by The Smiths, and it occured to me that some of my favorite songs from my all time favorite bands, or newly discovered old bands, is the instrumental tracks they put out. And no trance / techno tracks dont count.
My top instrumentals
1. Faith No More - Woodpecker From Mars
2. The Smiths - Oscillate Wildly
3. Sade - Mermaid
A great thread. It is a joy to find great instrumental tunes amidst "normal" songs.

Placebo - Hong Kong Farewell
The hidden track on their self-titled debut album. I especially love the disconcerting way it comes in when you forget about the hidden track. The stereo has been silent for ten minutes and gently this quiet throbbing grows and you're not sure where it's coming from.
Oh yes, an absolutely marvellous tune. So atmospheric and the piano is perfect.

I sincerely think not.
Nothing produced by that average band with nothing to say other than "IM HORNY AND WANT SEXING". Also the music is crap. .
What the hell happened that made you think they were good?
*checks youtube*
Track isn't on youtube and google shows nothing. Either you have the wrong track name or the internet is stupid, likely as that may be, I stand by the point that NIN are crap and can't in all honesty sse the appeal. I know that being told "you're favourite music is shite" is upsetting sometimes, so I apologise for being too quick.
They're still shite though.
So, have you actually listened to any other song than Closer? Besides, the fact alone that Johnny Cash covered NIN is enough to state that they aren't shite. ;)
As for my own instrumental favourites, I'll say Kingston Wall's Istwan ((

In the early early days of mp3.com, Westside Chemical, a now-defunct duo of alcoholic Dublin imports, published the track "Chocolate." I took it home from work on a Zip disk, along with a copy of Nullsoft Winamp 2.x. This little track is responsible for helping me find a way into music that relied more on microchips than guitar strings, and the way since has been very, very good. Tracks taken from their excellent
Black n Blue are never too far from my dynamic playlists.
In '97, an accidental purchase (through one of those hideous record clubs) landed me a copy of the
Lost Highway Soundtrack. This introduced me to Barry Adamson via "Something Wicked This Way Comes," and the strength of that and a few other tracks he composed has me owning about 4 of his albums, and scrimping for more. The same album also headed me toward David Lynch and Angelo Badalamenti, and bless it for that as well.
When I was a lot younger, I actually disliked music with singing in it, preferring snappy old dance tunes from my dad's vinyl collection. I practically wore out an LP from some no-name big band that rehashed songs like "The Stripper" and "Last Date," and a whole bunch of other cliche'd tracks. I was young, but damned sure that lyrics could only get in the way of music that sounded that good. Back then, though, my only exposure to music was at religious meetings and oldies played in the family car, and I wouldn't watch something on TV unless it was at least crudely animated (It's 2pm, Donahue's on, party's over).
These days, I scum around net labels looking for free ambient music to chew on. I've found good things recently at (
http://www.bumpfoot.net) bumpfoot.net, currently processing Supersymmetry's
The Stringed Theory, and Conelrad's freely offered effort,
Function Creep.
