    Was just listening to Peaches en Regalia by Frank Zappa (who has a piece being performed on Radio 3 at about ten tonight btw) and it blew me away again.

    i don't think classical or ambient music should count in this. they're kinda all instrumental really. i'm thinking an 'instrumental' should be from someone who would normally actually sing. we need rules here dude!

    Mike Oldfield - Tubular Bells
    Pixies - Cecilia Ann
    Kraftwerk - Kommetenmelodie

    Love the music on The Returned too - I think that is mostly Mogwai
