Favorite Songs without Lyrics or vocals

I tend to listen mostly to music from various video games and some chiptunes, but I'm willing to expand. My phone's playlist I listen to as I run errands and stuff is starting to become a bit stale. So what have you got?

I prefer music without vocals or lyrics. I'd rather have the words replaced with a fitting lead instrument.

I'll avoid posting video games music because I could go on forever if I did that.

The band Apocalyptica has a bunch of songs that have no vocals. They're a heavy metal band that features several cello players, this is my current favorite song by them.



Jeff Loomis has a couple of albums out that are just him unleashing hell with a guitar in his hands, no need for vocals.



Here's another ridiculous guitar song by Rusty Cooley, me and my buddies used to drive around blasting this when I was in high school. (IM SO OLD NOW)



Not sure if thats what your looking for or not, its all heavy metal because thats kinda my forte. There's a good bit of EDM with no vocals, I listen to Chillstep a lot when I sleep or relax, but I don't really know any specific songs, usually just listen to youtube compilations. When I play Dungeons and Dragons with my friends we literally type "Epic Anime Music" or "Epic Battle Music" into youtube and listen to compilations, most of those don't have lyrics either. Youtube compilations are the best!

I myself also mostly listen to instrumental music actually, It can often be a more pure expression of emotions. Well, I certainly have a few good things to recommend.

I like pretty much all the music that Monstercat publishes, though this is definitely my favorite, he is also my favorite artist from the label.


Then we have Jean Michel Jarre, who kind of popularized electronic back in the 70's. He made this really atmospheric music


You should definitely also check this album out by Toumas Holopainen, there is a small bit of lyrics, but mostly instrumental, it's like a mix of rock, world and classical. It's kind of cinematic actually, also it's inspired by a Donald Duck character ^_^


And last but not least we've got this cool chiptune music from Big Giant Circles, he specializes in chiptunes and video game music, so you'll probably like his stuff. I like his album called Impostor Nostalgia the most.


Also here is some artist you could check out for good instrumental stuff:
Parov Stelar, Zircon, Thomas-Adam Habuda, Nigel Good, Big Gigantic, Caravan Place, Approaching Nirvana, C418, Haywyre, Hans Zimmer, Ennio Morricone, everything from Monstercat, Beethoven

Edit:
You should check out the website ocremix.org
It's like a community, where people make high quality game music remixes, maybe you'll find something to your liking.

I've been really into ambient post rock droney stuff lately. I listent to stuff with lyrics too but it's all about the mood and emotions the music evokes in me. I tend to listen while writing or reading so. Not sure if it'll appeal but why not.



Edit: For game soundtracks, I really like these two:

Black Refraction by Tim Hecker is pretty good.



Anything on the virgins album is pretty good.

I also like the song Paris from the Hotline Miami soundtrack.
