11 Instrumental Albums I Currently Work To

It’s one of my favorite days: music sharing day.

Here are 11 instrumental albums I am currently using to “get things done” (one of them is free if you look hard enough).

At the end of the post, I want to hear yours. Enjoy!

Question: What are your “getting things done” music choices? I always look forward to this. Let the recommendations fly.

    Hey David: I’m a BIG fan of all of the albums listed above. They are always on steady repeat at home or at the office during creative or even devotional times.

    Check out music by Bonobo (a bit more on the ambient beats side like St. Germain) and Johann Johannsson. Both a bit “newer” to me in the last 4 months. Really great stuff. But Helios still tops them all. 😉

    Try Port Blue (from Adam Young of Owl City), and not strictly instrumental though some of it is, and still one of my favs Journeys of Life from Kevin Prosch

    I guess I can suggest the music I make too. 🙂 Although not as ambient as the rest of the music here my songs move around the ambient melodic electronica ./ downtempo / triphop realms.

    My project is called The X-Structure. All the music can be download from here – http://thexstructure.com/

    I hope it inspires you. 🙂

    Thanks for the list…Just made a Spotify playlist of all these…looking forward to listening to them. I am a high school band director (in addition to worship leader) and some of my students had already told me about Explosions in the Sky.

    Ok, so, this post by David is a few months old, but it really inspired me. After reading it I decided I needed to piece together a real masterpiece collection of instrumental music. Over the past few months, I’ve spent something like 50 or 60 hours making this playlist and I feel it’s finally time to share it with people.

    The goal wasn’t to have a playlist that was just a great instrumental collaborative, but rather a playlist that took you on a glorious musical journey. I wanted something I could listen to while living my life – everything from working, reading, sleeping, praying, and relaxing with the fam – and not feel like it was obtrusive or distracting.

    If you’re a fan of instrumental music, then this 28-hour playlist will take your listening experience to a whole new level. Set your Spotify playback to a 12 second crossfade, and listen as each song blends perfectly and seamlessly into the next, by both key and feel. You can literally start on any song in the playlist and let the music do its work. (Often times I’ll go through 5 or 6 tracks without even noticing!)

    Give it a listen, and of course, if you have feedback (or new artists I should add to it when the time comes), feel free to let me know.

    Enjoy 🙂

    Hmm is anyone else having problems with the pictures on this blog loading?

    I’m trying to determine if its a problem on my end or if it’s the blog.
    Any feed-back would be greatly appreciated.

  14. Free Spotify Premium Code says

    Spotify is a brand new software application available in the UK and some other European countries right now which is expected
    to have a huge impact. Targets of the Anti-excess Website Optimization Update.
    The difference between that and what Noise – Trade does is that Noise – Trade brings a
    connection between the artist and listener, potentially opening
    up avenues where the artist could find support through shows and merch sales.
