favorite sonic youth instrumental
 

they have a good amount of instrumentals so i thought i'd start this thread. and Machine was released too, though i don't think it's one of their better instrumentals. i was always a fan of Kim's Chords because it's really GOOD, but Moonface is probably my new favorite


post yrs

anagrama of course

and Stil

anagrama
major label chicken feed
queen anne chair
fauxhemians
machine
made in usa theme (probably my favorite)

I agree both are definately high in my rankings too

Corporate Ghost and Beautiful Plateau, for me.

Radio Amatoroj!

Lee is Free, Untitled (Becuz Coda), Intro to Bad Moon Rising, Slaapkamers met slagroom, Anagrama, A bunch of stuff from The Destroyed Room + The Whitey Album (Macbeth especially) + The Dirty Deluxe Edition

anagrama!
stil
burdocks
andre sider af sy
demonlover theme
the bedroom
kim's chords too.

death to our friends

Kims chords

terrys carrot

anagrama

i really love most of their instrumentals
but if i have to pick one as my favourite then it would be either
radio amatoroj
or
le paysage zim zum
and maybe safe in heal

does "kool thing (merzbow)" count as a semi-instrumental-improv?
if so I would vote for it for personal reasons. it blew me away

is this instrumental rly?


whoah, what is this Al?

+1.

its only a live thing, and improv as I said, but it was stunning and referring to the scanned playlist they planned it...
they played it at the 2002 murray street tour in Hamburg germany, here is the chronology link:

see lees quote he posted here on the old board a few days ago, he totally nailed what I thought of it!!!!

wow, sounds so fucking awesome...

tremens
radio amatoroj
hungaro vivo
mildred pierce (if counted as instrumental)

Sounds really cool. Were you at this concert, or did you just hear it/see it online?

oh yeah tremens also.

Death to Our Friends!

"Invito Al Cielo" is one of my favorite pieces of music by them period. Absolute godhead.

I really love this one, like one true musical trip

1. Intro
2. Lee is Free
3. Death to our Friends

This thread made me listen to SYR3 again yesterday night and it's really a fantastic disc. Pure nocturnal and dark atmosphere going on for 50 minutes. I like when albums induce a specific atmosphere (ie Silver Session and its arctic atmosphere)

Death to our friends
Loop Cat
Anagrama

i didnt mean 'or' the song :D

death to our friends
intro
the good and the bad

the mighty Meat Puppets have a song called "Our Friends" and it's got a very SY sound although it was recorded in '81 or '82

Death to our friends....oh, i almost forget Free Engine Dream

Fire Engine Dream .

syr 1
intro

Macbeth

ohh Macbeth , me too

No-one picked "Beautiful Plateau"??

Thank you, I was just blown into a little moment of heavenly bliss listening to Anagrama cycling home from Publix here in Gainesville, Fl. I forgot the name of the song and the album so I just googled "Sonic Youth" and "Instrumentals", stumbed upon this thread, and your answer to my question.:) So yeah, Anagrama is one of their best instrumentals
