![[MEGA Playlist] 60+ Instrumental Tracks You Need to Listen to](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4741497_lg.jpg)
Everyone loves lyrics. Whether they're light-hearted and playful, soul-gripping and gut-wrenching, or abstract and avant garde, we all love to sing along, relate certain verses to our personal lives, or just be taken away by another person's story. On the other hand, hearing a great instrumental track is an entirely different experience. Without having words to identify with, your brain is free to let the music create an image in your mind. The interpretation is more so up to you than if you had someone defining it with their own words. Having this blank canvas allows your mind [...]
Erased Tapes må være et af mine absolutte yndlingspladeselskaber. Indirekte er det meget tydeligt på Musik Mig Blidt, idet jeg har skrevet mange rosende ord om flere af de kunstnere, pladeselskabet har i stald. Særligt A Winged Victory For The Sullen , Ólafur Arnalds , Nils Frahm og snart Peter Broderick. Generelt huser selskabet noget af det fineste indenfor nyklassisk mussik, men har også artister indenfor post-rock og electronica. I anledning af Erased Tapes’ 5 års fødselsdag har selskabet lavet en meget fornem kompilation, som du gratis kan downloade, hvis du registrerer dig som medlem på [...]
It's so cool that volumes one and two of the Best Songs of 2011 mixtape series have been such a huge hit - literally tens of thousands of page views in just a few weeks. Today's mixtape marks the third volume of the top 2011 songs series. If you didn't have a chance yet, it's [...] Read more, get songs or stream the entire mix on Indie Rock Cafe
Tweet When its kingpins start to sound like they're rehashing you know a genre is in trouble. I speak of Explosions In The Sky and their stale last album 'Take Care, Take Care, Take Care', and the genre they've electrified for the best part of a decade post-rock. Not many strands of indie do to me what those instrumentals can, most of what you'll find on 'Earth Is Not A Cold Dead Place' made it onto our wedding video. Lately though thrills [...]
German-born Robert Raths is an explorer of the avant-garde, a pioneer of undiscovered music. In early 2007 he founded London-based Erased Tapes Records , unearthing a global spectrum of transcendent and diverse, electronically reformed, organic music. This summer brought us Erased Tapes Collection III , the third in a series of annual compilations of recent releases, and our introduction to Codes In The Clouds’ “Street Lights In The Distance (iambic Remix).” British experimental minimalists Codes In The Clouds create instrumental post-rock with ambient psychedelic and cinematic tendencies in the manner of La Monte [...]

code in the clouds - we anchor in hope (again again) gay boiz - high level alchemy weed + foxes in fiction - teenaged dream dan matz - diamond eyes
I'm not usually so much a fan of instrumental post-rock stuff. I've blissed-out to some Explosions In The Sky on occasion, but overall it's not really my thing. That said, who can't appreciate massive crescendos that build and build then crash like ocean waves on rocky coastlines, right? I've been digging Codes In The Clouds and while it might fall outside my normal comfort zone, it comes highly recommended. Also feels like good music for this crazy Day After Tomorrow -esque weather.

Usually when I get emails from artists trying to promote their work I just disregard them because I have plenty of other things to write about that I think are good. But when I received this track from Bruno Miguel of :papercutz, I could tell that [...]
Wenn eine Band Codes in the Clouds heißt, kann man eigentlich schon mit guter Berechtigung vermuten, dass sie sich atmosphärischer Gitarrenmusik verschrieben hat. Und genau so ist es bei diesem Quintett aus dem englischen Dartford auch – Klangschicht wird auf Klangschicht getürmt, es sirren die Gitarren und es postrockt aus den Boxen, dass es eine Freude ist. Zwar sind die Varianzen in diesem Genre offenbar recht eng begrenzt, aber schön zu hören ist es allemal. Derzeit bereitet die Band ihr neues Album als Nachfolger des Debüts «Paper Canyon» vor, das dann wohl in der zweiten Jahreshälfte [...]
Emotional instrumental rock in the vein of Explosions In The Sky or Pelican. Don't Go Awash In The Digital Landscape You Are Not What You Think You Are The Distance Between Us
Even though we just had a mention of them about a month ago, the music from the UK's Codes In The Clouds new album, Paper Canyon, is just so good it deserves another post. It's some of the best post-rock I've ever heard, their compositions just seem so naturally perfect. Hard to believe this album was put together in just a few days. Highly recommended.

A look at what can be called, a new resurgence of progressive rock that follows a pattern of perfection, while keeping the idea of creativity alive inside the bounds off face value redundancy.

If you are a follower of Whiteray's excellent blog, Echoes In The Wind and Swiss Chris' equally well-done Music of the Moment , please take a moment to update your links. We won't go into why they moved, let's just say some people take their jobs way too seriously. Even though you never really left, welcome back! • • [...]
