"Young Ravisu is a kid from some city in Poland who posted an instrumental that Chief Keef made into this song. Two young people from different parts of the world coming together: That’s the dream."

Rolling Stone's 131st greatest album of all time
Superb Sabbath album. It has their best known songs Paranoid, Iron Man and the phenomenal War Pigs. Some low points outwith those, but also some welcome respite from Ozzy on the instrumental sections.

Woah
Trippy, lucid, easy-listening. Mac's practised sound comes out in full force in this album. Be it the eerie vocals of Dreaming, or the pure instrumental of Boe Zahh. Recommended for anyone who likes a new version of 'dad-rock'

"It’s just an instrumental, very soothing. I like to be in my little meditative mode, just relaxing. I don’t have to listen to hardcore shit, I don’t listen to rap or nothing like that. Just something that will keep me mellow and vibing."

Rolling Stone's 486th greatest album of all time (420th in the 2020 list)
A great, toe-tapping soul and, at times, jazz album. A couple of standout tracks (Happy Feelin and Africano) and generally instrumental so you can work without needing to sing along :P
  
New York–Addis–London: The Story of Ethio Jazz 1965–1975 by Mulatu Astatke

Album Favorite

"This song is from one of the Éthiopiques compilations and I really got really into them a few years ago. I was touring around Southern France and Spain and I remember listening to that music for the first time and seeing the beautiful landscape out the window. There’s just so much emotion and feeling in his playing and it really made me want to have saxophone on the record. “It's interesting sometimes with instrumental music, how it can almost make you feel more than a good lyric will make you feel. It provokes something that touches you on an almost spiritual level. I think that's the goal as a musician - whether it's instrumental or it has lyrics, you're always trying to touch someone in a really deep way; you want to try to get at the core of somebody."

Like Nothing Else I've Heard
This is a strange album. It's almost purely instrumental, for one thing. (The first actual lyrics are in the penultimate track). And every song sounds like something out of a really dramatic movie. I like it, but it's probably the weakest Aviators album. Recommended to diehard fans only; if you're just getting into this artist, then you'd be better off listening to their newer work.

Jennifer Chiaverini’s historical fiction novel about Augusta Ada King-Noel, Countess of Lovelace, takes us back to 19th century England, to discover a woman whose mathematical insights may have been instrumental in making the essential the connections that led to today’s computers. You can read my review of this book about the unfortunately short life of Lady Lovelace here.

Author Meg Waite Clayton’s newest novel is a biographical, historical, women’s fiction novel about Geertruida Wijsmuller, aka “Tante Truus” who was instrumental in getting thousands of children out of Nazi Germany via the Kindertansport. This powerful and important novel was just released and I hope you’ll read my #bookreview of it on my blog now. https://tcl-bookreviews.com/2019/09/13/saving-a-whole-world/
