Can't pick favourites so I'm letting myself choose a bunch :) Sue me
Mogwai Fear Satan, Mogwai βA quarter of an hour of post-rock with a beautiful, beautiful build.
It Never Entered My Mind, Miles Davis Quintet β Feels a bit cheaty because it's jazz and there definitely are lyrics inspiring the lead melody.. still wonderful for pensive late-night walks.
Earth Moon Transit, Duster β if you haven't sat back and spent time with this album, what are you doing? Clear an evening and put it on repeat. Yes, technically it has lyrics. Personally I barely hear them.
Prologue, Kamasi Washington β Such powerful energy on the closing track of last year's album.
Blade Runner Blues, Vangelis β the song that made me fall in love with synthesisers.
