Minutemen - "Love Dance" (Double Nickels)

scattered, smothered, covered, diced and chunked (WilliamC), Sunday, 19 February 2017 18:45 (seven years ago) link

"Approaching Pavonis Mons by Balloon (Utopia Planitia)" from the Flaming Lips "Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots" comes to mind.

also 'sleeping on the roof' from the soft bulletin -- i don't think those alternate mixes really count

"A New Career in a New Town"...beautiful reworking of the Midnight Cowboy theme.

Speaking of which, the actual "Midnight Cowboy" theme on Faith No More - Angel Dust.

Gary Numan/Tubeway Army's Replicas ends with two - "When the Machines Rock" and "I Nearly Married a Human". The other 8 tracks have vocals.

Broadcast did this on The Noise Made By People (Dead The Long Year) and on Tender Buttons (I Found the End), and Helen did on The Original Faces (title track).

Frogbs already named it but I have to post "I nearly married a human" anyway, as it's my total paragon of 'closing instrumental on a rock album'

Sometimes it's my favorite numan track. I also have a false memory that it was used in the soundtrack to Cosmos.

his eye is on despair-o (Jon not Jon), Monday, 20 February 2017 22:56 (seven years ago) link

Unwound - "Who Cares" (Leaves Turn Inside You)

a passing spacecadet, Monday, 20 February 2017 22:59 (seven years ago) link

Air Miami - "Reprise" (Me Me Me) is a spaced-out instrumental version of "Bubble Shield" iirc

Frozen Energon on Chad VanGaalen's Soft Airplane. Last line on Rabid Bits of Time is 'No one knows where we go / when we're dead or when we're dreaming' and then there's a noise postludium as if to illustrate dying.

Also Be It on Azeda Booth's In Flesh Tones. Last line on Brown Sun is 'face down in the parking lot' and then there's a noise postludium as if to illustrate dying, and then Be It sounds like ascension.

Members of Azeda Booth used to play with Chad VanGaalen incidentally.

"Rhoda" off of Tweez.

Jersey Al (Albert R. Broccoli), Monday, 20 February 2017 23:31 (seven years ago) link

Ghost's Opus Eponymous ends with an instrumental. I think all the other tracks have vocals.

Barbara Morgenstern, "Love is in the Air, But We Don't Care".

Everything Moves Towards The Sun (Ross), Tuesday, 21 February 2017 03:18 (seven years ago) link

Jane's Addiction - "Thank You, Boys" off the vinyl version of Nothing's Shocking. Perry Farrell thanks the band, but I'd say it still counts.
