With the school year beginning, I'm gonna be doing maths/physics plus writing history and geography lesson in short, and I do all this stuff while listening to music. I prefer instrumental music in this case. And if I keep this up, Ghosts I-IV and The Social Network OST are going to be the only music I hear. Apart from that, I know two God Is An Astronaut albums, and... well that's pretty much it. So, I need recommendations for instrumental stuff. Be it bands or OSTs, gimme anything. Generic dubstep and EDM not accepted. Thanks in advance.
OST: Jeff Beal - House of Cards Brian Reitzell - Hannibal Bear McCreary - Battlestar Galactica Vangelis - Blade Runner (Esper Edition) Vengelis - Chariots of Fire Hans Zimmer - Man of Steel Howard Shore - The Lord of the Rings (Complete Editions) John Williams - Jurassic Park John Williams - Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope Instrumental Albums: Wolves in the Throne Room - Celestite Deadmau5 - While (1<2) [Mixed] Daft Punk - Alive 2007 Awaken the Echoes - Travels LP Animals as Leaders - The Joy of Motion Angel Vivaldi - Away With Words, Pt. 1 Liquid Tension Experiment - Liquid Tension Experiment
Not sure if it's your cup of tea, but I loved listening to Bohren & der Club of Gore's album Black Earth when I studied. Dark ambient music with a strong downtempo and jazz influence. [video=youtube;RErmfXDMbvo]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RErmfXDMbvo[/video]
Nils Frahm - Screws and Spaces Screws is a piano-only album and my favorite of the two. Spaces is a bit like Ghosts I-IV in that it's an OST to nothing in particular Oh, and a live performance by him for the hell of it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e_1uGnqFGME
I don't know if you will like it but I always listen to it while I work. [video=youtube;eIyQVP3IUyg]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eIyQVP3IUyg[/video]

if you dig "The Social Network", I highly recommend Cliff Martinez' soundtrack for "Contagion" Martinez' score for "Drive" is pretty cool too Paul Leonard-Morgan's "Dredd" soundtrack Daft Punk: "TRON: Legacy R3C0NF1GUR3D" The Glitch Mob: "Drink The Sea" Air's soundtrack for "The Virgin Suicides", which is really chill "The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo" soundtrack by Trent Reznor & Atticus Ross Thomas Newman's soundtrack for "American Beauty" lastly, I also second Gibs' suggestion of Deadmau5' album "while(1<2)"
London Philharmonic Orchestra's "Greatest Video Game Music 1 & 2" Any Elder Scrolls Soundtrack Any Two Steps From Hell album
I don't really listen to soundtracks, but as far as instrumental rock goes I would recommend: sleepmakeswaves (progressive rock) [video=youtube_share;f_N0iEt5iKs]http://youtu.be/f_N0iEt5iKs[/video] or Damage Vault (industrial) [video=youtube_share;QuF16vElJF8]http://youtu.be/QuF16vElJF8[/video] or Parhelia (alternative rock) [video=youtube_share;63cmp6BCx-o]http://youtu.be/63cmp6BCx-o[/video] or Rob Dougan's instrumental mix of his album (orchestral) [video=youtube_share;vH9WuBuEp_0]http://youtu.be/vH9WuBuEp_0[/video] or Blue Stahli's antisleep albums (electronic based, decent range) [video=youtube_share;l1Nj_t74w40]http://youtu.be/l1Nj_t74w40[/video] or Little People (instrumental hip-hop, whatever that means) [video=youtube_share;W1meVRvovaM]http://youtu.be/W1meVRvovaM[/video] or my personal favorite, Vitamin String Quartet.
