Beautiful/inspiring instrumentals...
What are your favourite instrumentals that you like to listen to? I.e songs with no words - they don't have to be a soundtrack. Some of my favourites are:
Adrian Johnston - The Lost Prince: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wnAgyp4-IWg Ludovico Einaudi - Oltremare: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R8MzHqkNBwo Ludovico Einaudi - Primavera: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qmxFAT581T4 Craig Armstrong - Balcony Scene: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Je3KyWWW8pA Hans Zimmer - Tennessee: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uVbwaHTuLvE Anyway, that's a lot there, but how about yourselves?

I love listening to Hoppipolla. It is in the soundtrack for the film Penelope but I think it is used a lot in other things too.

Explosions In The Sky have done some fantastic tracks (all their stuff is instrumental)
e.g. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=36U4ez7AzKA |

I believe the original was made by Sigur Ros: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4L_DQKCDgeMQuote:

Seconding Sigur Ros (not exactly instrumental but still strongly orchestrated) and Explosions in the Sky, but my favourite instrumentals often come from a guy called Olafur Arnalds - a young neo-classical composer from Iceland. Here's a few of his best tracks (IMO
)http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K6u5D-5LWSg http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mYIfi...eature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AHtDg...eature=related And Max Richter is another neo-classical composer who's been producing some really profound work of late: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=84yBioZZwf4 Oh, and for those who like Sigur Ros: Jonsi and Alex (SR's lead singer and his boyfriend) made a truly beautiful album last year which is well worth checking out if you enjoy relaxing, minimalist music. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0o9biAcKy1s |

Fleetwood Mac "Albatross"
M&S adverts threatened to ruin it but it's still a beautiful piece of music |
