I'm making a photo slideshow for my dad's company and I need an Instrumental song to play in the background. I'm not really sure what i'm looking for, I'm pretty much open to anything. But nothing too crazy.

Maybe something subtle but not like spa music. lol

Any suggestions??

Maybe something by X-ray dog? I really like The Vision.

The slideshow consists of pictures of pools. lol

The Jesus and Mary Chain or Sonic Youth, for something a little different? Both have some neat instrumental work. You might also find something by looking up shoegaze as a genre, since that includes a lot of instrumental stuff, oftentimes dreamy.

I am a big Django Reinhardt fan--look up some of his later work, like 'Nuages,' for stuff that's not hotclub jazz and yet is cool too.

TV/movie soundtracks are always good

I usually go for something from Doctor Who - the music there is brilliant

I like Ludovico Einaudi but it may sound to spaish for you.

Something from ES Posthumus might work? A lot of their stuff is pretty upbeat but there are some calmer songs that might do the job okay
