Top 100: #62-64 (instrumentals)

Here are three moody instrumentals that could easily go in any movie I ever directed. The first is a throbbing track called “Inside” from Moby’s Play album.

I love Tangerine Dream and think their song “Love On A Real Train” from Risky Business is one of the best tracks they ever did.
I took a chance one day while I was standing in an indie record store in downtown Asheville in the mid-80’s. I bought Victorialand by The Cocteau Twins and it quickly became one of the most different and moving pieces of music I’d ever heard. I mean–I loved Phil Collins & Genesis. This is NOT Genesis. The track “The Thinner The Air” is haunting and should be in a movie one day. It still gives me goosebumps.

  1. Music takes us so many places. Some where we shouldn't go and others where we long to go . .

    And, yeah, can so relate to certain songs meshing with stories. (I've started a novel because of the old Marshall Tucker Band's song: Heard It in a Love Song. Titled: . . . in a love song.)
