Subject: 80s Instrumentals

Written By: whistledog on 09/02/13 at 8:45 am

I am sure this already exists, but I'm too lazy to look.  Plus, why not get a fresh perspective.  Lots of good 80s Instrumentals out there ...

Charles Fox - Seasons
(Philip Eno would like this one; It is based on Pachelbel's Canon in D)

Frank Mills - The Happy Song

Exchange - Into the Night (1987)
despite it's non chart appearance, I still remember this one very well

Pachelbel's Canon is one of the most beautiful music pieces ever written.
