You surprised me with this one. I know your tastes are eclectic, but didn't realize Beach House is in your repertoire.

I actually discovered them on the Boneyard, posted by someone who's no longer on the board. You're absolutely right that shoegaze isn't my thing, but I sure do love a couple of Beach House albums.

Just to sprinkle stardust and to whisper

Well, Scud opened his thread up for instrumentals, for which I'm thankful. This is a suite of folk tunes put together by Richard Farina.

(Don't be put off by it starting out with Frere Jacques; it's not a piece of fluff.)

Yea BB, too many soft, peaceful, and wonderful instrumentals out there to ignore, like this amazing composistion from the Boz man:

I have a few.

An instrumental that because if it's use in Ken Burn's "Civil War" series evokes all sort of feels.

Tom Waits certainly knows how to pull on the heart strings. This is one from his first album.

Living in the west for many years, this one always tugged at my soul - from the Grand Canyon Suite:
