Instrumental songs by non-instrumental artists

Capture The Flag, Late Nineties Bedroom Rock For the Missionaries, Pacific Theme, Pitter Patter Goes My Heart, Tremola Debut, and Finish Your Collapse And Stay For Breakfast are all instrumental Broken Social Scene songs, not counting their ambient first record, which is full of them.

Porcupine Tree - Moonloop off of the album, The Sky Moves Sideways

Your laundry list intimidates me :-)

Radiohead - Treefingers

Godspeed (resurrection via synths)

And tons of others.

my favorite instrumental Air has to be Playground Love (Vibraphone version)
but then there is also:

• La Femme d'argent
• which is quite good too, and
  
• Alpha Beta Gaga
• will have you whistling right along with it
  
• Dirty Trip
• , and
  
• Ghost Song
• which is rather short and not too spooky.
  
  others?

This thread makes me tingle everywhere! When I can devote some time to a download/listening onslaught, I'm gonna check out all this shit! If anyone listens to anything I mentioned and actually likes it, that would make me happy! I really recommend the Hopes Of The States song to all you post-rock junkies out there. ;)

Keep the songs coming everyone!

Oh yeah.

Sleeping on the Roof

Yes, exactly. The featured station group radio that displays on this group's pages will play a mixed up mess of all of our top artist, and for all intents and purposes is probably little more than useless.

Our group tag radio on the other hand is established by our collective tagging of tracks with a unique monikor, thus instrumental music that makes you feel-group tag radio - you can copy -> paste this into tag boxes if you like.

Using this tag, anyone can build a personal tag 'station' if you will, while simultaneously adding to the global tag 'station' of music described in this group's pages.

This IS fun, and I'm already being exposed to a good deal of music I like that I'd not heard before. So hat's off to KtM407 for gettin' this party started!

Quoth KtM407:
I've never really used this tag radio stuff, but I've noticed that because I'm not a subscriber, I can't play it from my page.
I believe that's true. Non-subscribers cannot access their own personal tag stations.

But if I go to your page, Adrian, I can listen to your tag radio with our group tag. I'm not sure if I'm only hearing the ones you tagged, or the everything with that tag though.
Yep, one of the perks of being a subscriber is listening to personal tag radio, and I suppose it follows that one of the perks of connecting with other subscribers is the ability to listen to their tag radio stations.

Only what I tag with that phrase will show up in my personal tag station. Only what you tag will show up in your personal tag station. What all of us collectively tag with that phrase ends up in the global tag station.

But don't be surprised if you see me visiting your page a lot. :p This radio station is awesome! I'm finding some sexay new music. Wee!
Heh, not a problem. As I'd been slowly adding (mostly tracks) to the tag, and listening along the way I was pretty certain it contained tracks which met the criteria of the group.

The global tag is already pretty much f'd up though believe it or not. Almost every other song played is one that expressly does not match the given parameters. I suppose it's a problem that has stemmed from adding whole artists and hopefully not from someone's deliberate attempt to screw up the global tag.

Chapter 6 most certainly does not fit!

I believe anyone, subscriber or not, can listen to global tag stations. Just click on Options (the button displaying an open end wrench) and select Enter station address... then copy and paste in this link

I wouldn't sweat it too much.

I agree that a vocally light track or two wouldn't be a big deal, but the full-on vocally driven tracks just break the mood.

Even though last.fm staff is working to improve the way global tag radio works, the way it stands now any monkey can come along and decide to trash the tag by adding a bunch of non-related tracks/albums/artist to it. So who knows how long the global tag will remain more or less 'pure'?

I'll keep adding to my personal tag, Even as I listen to the global tag and discover new tracks that fit, I'll tag 'em again.

Does the Global Tag station really not work for you, or does it's page just state that there's not enough content? It's been saying that to me since it first appeared, but I've been able to play it ever since it had the minimum of (what is it, 23?) tracks.

Oh, and since I'm here, they're not yet streamable, but here's a couple:

• Disco Paradise
• (yeah, there's a light vocal loop at one point, but I think it qualifies)
  
• Solid Gold

Yes, I believe Treefingers has been suggested, and seems to fit even though the last.fm player seems to want to play it too often.

However, after sampling the two The Fire Theft tracks you recommend I admit I'm puzzled by their inclusion here? Are they not vocally driven? (I've only heard the 30sec sample of both which appeared to be vocally laden?)

Have you any examples (tracks after all is what we're looking for in this thread) from the other four artist you mention?
The only two Yo La Tengo tracks I possess are vocal-driven, and the Pink Floyd I'm familiar with is only what's been thoroughly worn out on local classic rock radio. While there are many long instrumental & solo passages within them, most of their tracks could not be considered "instrumental" because there is simply too much singing! If only they'd known back then, perhaps they could have corrected it before it was too late. (wasted humor apparently, oh well)

OK, so I toned it down some. Really wasn't looking to make anyone run away and cry. Just saying "What's up with that?". Moving on then...

No one knows about this group and our special tag except us.The group and tag aren't as big a secret as you might think. The tag is already showing up in tag clouds, and the group connection is visible on artists pages that aren't already buried in connections. We will be found! And you're right, it's OK - there is a skip button after all. Thank God it's there, though oft times I'd rather be able to just set the player on course and let it play without having to switch over and skip - guess that's when I'll switch back over to personal tag radio.

In the interim we'll all enjoy a great radio station and learn about lots of new instrumental tracks we didn't know existed. Which is cool, right?

Here's a few more I've just added:

• Rise
• totally funked up track
  
• Pick Up the Pieces
• an IMTMYF track from an avg. 70's rock band
  
• Eden
• female voice used throughout, though not a word is spoken
