Re: Best instrumental track ever?

Hmmm tough call.

I would probably plump for something by Ash Ra Tempel like 'Amboss', 'Freak N Roll', 'Phantasus' , ,Walking the Desert 2nd Movement: Six Voices' or Manuel Gottsching's solo effort 'E2-E4'.
Honourable mentions to 'Sylvia' and 'Birth' by Focus, 'Hoedown' by ELP, 'Atom Heart Mother' by Pink Floyd and Mike Oldfield's 'Ommadawn'.

I like that, When Harold Faltermeyer appeared on Top Of The Pops he had a stage full of keyboards to play it in.

Hmmmmm,
Maybe Nautilus by Bob James.
But The Incredible Bongo Band's version of Apache is hard to beat.

No doubts about it - I'd have to say Albatross by the great Fleetwood Mac when they had just started out in the mid-late 60s!
