This is one of my favourite songs from the 80s. No words are spoken only a couple of letters.
An amazing track. One of life’s great joys is that it’s played every Thursday on RRR at about 2157.
One of Australia’s most underrated bands The Spys!

Sleepwalk by Santo and Johnny from 1959 is one of the most beautiful, haunting instrumentals ever composed.

The Break (composed of three Oils and a Violent Femme) put out two amazing instrumental albums a decade or so ago.
Saw them live. Unbelievable energy and offered the opportunity to watch Rob Hirst front and centre.
The Dakotas had a song called The Cruel Sea,which was renamed The Cruel Surf and covered by The Ventures.
The Cruel Sea were an all instrumental band until Tex Perkins decided they needed lyrics.

The Ventures had a heap. This is the one I remember as my very first music discussion at a Monday Morning Assembly in Grade 5. It was an amazing sound back then.

Tubular Bells was my first ever music purchase, 8 track, 1976 as a junior high kid. I like especially the ending with the naming of the instruments as they each played the riff.
So more Peter Green without the sappy orchestra backing. Song actually starts at :40 after some in studio banter.

Jon & The Nightriders - Splashback.
Pretty silly thing from the early 80's which is a medley of a lot well known guitar tunes.
