tauzero Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 Focus have already been mentioned - Hocus Pocus hasn't but Sylvia has. Great bit of 80s: And back to glam rock: Finally, just a small sample of Mike Oldfield's output: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barking Spiders Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 here's quite an obvious one everyone of a certain age seems to've missed😉 I was about seven when it came out and I think it may be the very first tune I ever liked, 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No gratuitous shots here, but this is the later Paul Hardcastle theme which we released on a label I was working for in the early 90s: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

super al Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 Zappa's Peaches is one of my favourite instrumentals... I've posted the Nite People's version cos I used to work with the bassist (Scott, 2nd in line) plus they're from Bournemouth and the poor buggers lost 9-0 today!

Mickyk Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 One of the best instrumentals ever made ,from 1970. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, a good instrumental with the unmistakable style and sound of Russ Stableford on Bass Guitar. (Je t'aime and Everlasting Love are other Bass credits of his as well). A bit of trivia...Zack Laurence arranged the track and played Piano on it...replacing Elton John's Piano. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, sorry maybe on Je t'aime. And now you mention it, I think he popped up on TalkBass two or three years ago and said it was him. It's defiantly Russ on the other two. EDIT: Mind you, I seem to remember getting the info from you about Je t'aime. I think we are all getting too old for this stat stuff.

Barking Spiders Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 On 26/05/2022 at 07:26, ubit said: Dance and trance music from the 90's was to a large part instrumental ...as is all ambient electronica and Warp type stuff like early Orb, Autechre, Boards of Canada, Carbon Based Lifeforms, Biosphere, Plaid etc. Well that's my taste in instrumental music. At the mo' on Planet Rock they're doing 100 greatest guitar solos. Seems to me voters can't distinguish between a guitar solo and and solo guitar instrumental, what with a fair few instrumentals being played e.g. SRV's Little Wing, Cliffs of Dover by Eric Johnson. No doubt there'll be some Joe Satriani higher up the chart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassTractor Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 The Dixie Dregs (later Dregs) aren't mentioned that often. Here's their "Cruise Control" - originally on "Free Fall" but here in its shorter version on "Unsung Heroes". Listen to Andy West kicking some behind on that bass! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a guitar player Steve Morse is. So sad that he’s had to call it a day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
