Re: Need help to identify instrumental songs on AM

A really good job, Kingoftonga! The only song that is on the list in the last batch is Caldonia, which I think is a vocal track. Maybe you listened to an instrumental version?

"Caldonia" is definitely a vocal track. "Caldonia! Caldonia! What makes your big head so hard?"

Re: Need help to identify instrumental songs on AM

Yeah, my bad. I've been listening to those songs I'm unfamiliar with on YouTube, but I must have dug up an instrumental version by accident. Thanks for keeping me honest. :)

Re: Need help to identify instrumental songs on AM

First of all, I missed at least one song last time. The instrumentals from 1000-1500 should also include:

"What Time Is Love?" - KLF

Moving on, here's the ones I identified from songs 1500-2000. I'll keep trying to double-check my own work, but there's always the chance I'm missing some.

"Moonlight Serenade" - Glenn Miller
"Rez" - Underworld
"4:33" - John Cage
"Begin the Beguine" - Artie Shaw
"In A Sentimental Mood" - Duke Ellington
"Tiger Rag" - The Original Dixieland Jazz Band
"Smokebelch II" - The Sabres of Paradise
"Miserlou" - Dick Dale
"Un Poco Loco" - Bud Powell
"April in Paris" - Count Basie
"Interstellar Overdrive" - Pink Floyd
"Beau mot plage" - Isolee

And here's some with minimal lyrics:
"Energy Flash" - Joey Beltram
"Manteca" - Dizzy Gillespie
"Higher State of Consciousness" - Josh Wink

Thanks again, Kingoftonga! But "What Time Is Love?" is not an instrumental. You must have mixed it up with something else. Also, it's funny to call "4:33" an instrumental, but for this particular purpose it belongs on the list.

Re: Need help to identify instrumental songs on AM

Ah, perhaps I was thinking of another KLF song? I do my best to cue up songs that I'm not sure about, but I don't have time to relisten to everything, unfortunately. That being said, here's my survey of songs 2000 through 2500:

Aphex Twin - Didgeredoo
Azzido da Bass - Dooms Night
Charlie Christian with the Benny Goodman Orchestra - Solo Flight
Royksopp - Eple
Alter Ego - Rocker
Ramsey Lewis Trio - The In Crowd
Angelo Badalamenti - Twin Peaks Theme
Scott Joplin - The Entertainer
Faze Action - In the Trees
The Chemical Brothers - The Private Psychedelic Reel

Not Sure:
Orbital - The Box (apparently some versions have lyrics and others don't)

Re: Need help to identify instrumental songs on AM

Still slowly going through when I get a chance, although someone should probably double-check my work. Here's the instrumentals from 2500-3000. I'll try to tackle the bubblers next


"Djed" - Tortoise
"On" - Aphex Twin
"Lester Leaps In" - Count Basie's Kansas City Seven
"Handful of Keys" - Fats Waller
"A Love Supreme: Part 3, Pursuance & Part 4, Psalm" - John Coltrane
"The Koln Concert, Part 1" - Keith Jarrett
"Summertime" - Sydney Bechet
"Track C - Group Dancers" - Charles Mingus
"In a Mist" - Bix Belderbecke
"I'm Getting Sentimental Over You" - Tommy Dorsey
"Pan-American Blues" - DeFord Bailey
"Surf Solar" - Fuck Buttons
"A Night In Tunisia" - Dizzy Gillespie

"Chemical Beats" - Dust Brothers (?)
"High Noon" - DJ Shadow (?)

Re: Need help to identify instrumental songs on AM

Does Average White Band - "Pick up the Pieces" count as an instrumental as well? It essential is, besides them shouting the title a couple times.
