Instrumentals

Posted

Bore the life out of me as I can't sing along to them. No soul just a beat. Thankfully I don't hear them out often but am aware they was a major part of the scene back in the day.

Was talking to someone the other day about this and they would love to hear more played at events.

More or less what's your thoughts ?

these two do it for me, Harley hatcher certainly one of the strangest instrumentals ever and of course gentleman june gardner

 

Fantastic Grant, never heard that Gentleman June Gardner before, superb.  Harley Hatcher still sh*te though  :lol:

One of THE most underrated instrumentals, Jimmy Wisner on Atlantic

 

that's shite Pete :lol:

Love the New Orleans instrumentals like the Gentleman June Gardner, James Rivers on Kon-ti, Gaturs "Yeah You're Right" on Gatur or Electrostats on Three Oaks. As much variety in the instrumental sound as in vocal soul.

 

Always partial to a touch of soul-jazz too.

 

Thanks to Dave Thorley for playing this to me a few months ago. A sometime Colin Curtis spin at the Mecca:

 

Belting!

I found the post, but it's definitely not me who posted it - it's someone who now is no longer a member cos it just says "posted by Guest". Label is Columbia though.

I totally agree with you Bearsy old bean, bore the living shit out of me

 

but I have a theory

 

You and me werent there at the outset and didnt get lost in that moment which spawns fond memories of certain tracks regardless of their sound.

 

i think instrumentals are completely pointless on the soul scene and yet spent years listening to almost exclusively intrumentals and nothing else on the house and techno scenes and loved them

 

go figure!

You mean you don't like this Bearsy? :ohmy:

 

As Sean said earlier on the Sax is the voice and this tune sums that quote perfectly, its new to me and I get this one I do honestly I do lol

Been some god damn atrocious tunes posted lol but a few beauties too so for me this thread has been enlightening and educating so keep them coming boys and girls good or not so good :-)

Funny thing is I have never heard of so many of these tunes or seen them on playlists etc etc. why are only the same boring few ever played when so many people love them and there is plenty of choice by the looks of this thread.

The good old house scene :-) some of my mates are still doing it all, got a couple more mate doing the azid Jazz thing too, great days and yep hardly any vocals but banging dance music :-)

I think your right I think we missed the time when we would of got them but I'm enjoying a few that have been posted so not all bad old bean :-)

Crying out for some nice gritty vocals for me Kev :-) flip it over and then your talking :-)

I have just uploaded this to YouTube and I must say I quite like it lolol Never played it out though :-)

If the vocals don't 'say' much, you might as well let a Joanna, sax or somat speak to you.

 

Nowt to stop you singin along - if it ever had words - either.  Not  to The Third Time Around tho, natch.

 

some great and unusual tunes being put up on this very interesting thread :g: ....but dont think i could listen to a dj doing a hours spot of instrumentals......... :no: ...keep them tunes coming

Pretty good that Bazza ;-)
