Didn't really see a topic on instrumental music, unless I somehow missed it.

Anyhow, anyone who knows me well will know that I simply <i>adore</i> instrumental music. I seem to like a wider variety of sounds and feelings if there are no words. It's easier for my mind to go crazy and imagine things. They're also less distracting for me, since words will interrupt my train of thought.

Most of my instrumental songs are from game OST. Some games, I have played. (Such as World of Warcraft, which actually has some of the most AMAZING music I've heard, no bias~) And some that I have not played (Aion, for example which has some pretty amazing songs as well.)

So, any fellow instrumental music fans?

What are some of your favorites? Have any lyric-less OSTs that you're particularly fond of? Any games or movies that you thoroughly enjoy the soundtracks of?

Here are some of my favorites:

World of Warcraft OSTs (particularly The Burning Crusade, Wrath of the Lich King, and Cataclysm)
There are no words. Simply beautiful. A great variety of sounds and tones. Some beautiful, some powerful, some unsettling, all amazing.

Final Fantasy VII: Dirge of Cerberus OST
Often melancholy, but very nice, almost ambient.

Aion OST
For all my sci-fantasy needs~
Particularly inspiring for a series/role-play group I plan on making some day. Relaxing, powerful, and sometimes unsettling. Like the WoW OSTs, it has a nice variety, though not as much.

Super Mario Galaxy OST
It makes me happy~!

NiGHTS: Journey of Dreams OST
Another one that makes me smile.

Bluh, I have more, but now I'm just getting lazy/fprgetful haha.
