Last week, we went with vocal music, so this week let us talk about instrumentals. For this list, I tried to stick with songs that did not have lyrics attached to them in the first place. (You will find that some artists will release instrumental versions of the songs, but they are basically just dropping the vocal track.) Not that these are not good, but I was interested in finding tracks that convey a narrative or picture through just the play of the music. I went a little heavy on the Neofolk. I find that this genre has fairly rich instrumentals. I first encountered them on the Industrial Legacy compilations, on the Neofolk and Traumfolk iterations. For the last song, I have always found Blue Stahli is good for a pick me up.
