I'm about to do a compilation of the three available instrumental albums, just in case someone got lost in the countless pages and links
... But enjoyable none the less Originally posted by LikeASong:You are all welcome, glad you liked it.
Muse instrumentals are a gem in my opinion, but I am REALLY intrigued of how are they done. I think it's something regarding the master tapes of the albums and removing the vocals from there, because no known software can remove all the vocal range that good without losing any detail on the music. Intriguing

They're released by the record label as part of the marketing package, for use in commercials, radio spots, movie trailers, etc. I used to work for a company that would get instrumental albums all the time.

I was in Toronto on Monday just have a few thoughts for anyone who cares:
-The stage setup was quite interesting, cool to see a few things they maybe took away from their time on the 360 tour, i.e. the open back and the revolving drum kit. Both immediately made me think of 360. Kinda cool i thought.
- I was a little disappointed with the length of the show, it was barely an hour and 40 minutes, not that i'm complaining but with 5 albums in the bag i feel that they could pull off a 2-2 15 show quite easily. If they are truly the live act people say they are, i feel they need to step it up to that level on a nightly basis, no matter what continent/venue they're at.
- Matt is one of the most talented frontmen i've ever seen. His voice is outstanding and he's excellent on guitar and piano. However, it feels like he still has a long way to go to get onto the Bono/Bruce Springsteen/Freddie Mercury level. With those guys they spend a tremendous amount of energy trying to interact with the crowd to take the concert to a higher emotional level. With Matt/Muse this never happened. They barely said two words to the crowd the whole night. I was a little disappointed with that because the crowd was certainly up for it, one of the better crowds i've seen. It was alot like the complaints people had with the Vertigo tour, it felt like a very "workman" like show.
All that said it was one of the best live shows i've ever seen from a pure musical standpoint. All three of them are tremendous musicians and i would now call myself a fan of Muse, something i would not have said before. However if we're going to elevate them to the level where i think they have the potential to get to, i think they have a little ways to go. Just one guys opinion.

Originally posted by djrlewis:From the 2 shows I've seen (last tour) I would have to agree with this. It's the only thing stopping the shows being listed with Popmart and 360 for me (on a par with Elevation and Vertigo). U2 (mainly Bono) just have that extra something. I'm not sure it will ever really come, just not sure Matt's able to do it. He has a lot more work (musically) to do than Freddie/Bono ever did/do too. Perhaps this restricts him.
