Every so often a "10 of the best instrumental test tracks to give your hi-fi a vocal-free workout" list appears, but I thought this one had a few more interesting choices than the usual run-of-the-mill faves. Explosions in the Sky? Yes please.

I have checked these tracks out using Qobuz and they are all pretty good. I could not find Flying Lotus – '1983' but listened to some of his other albums in hi-res and quite a lot of his Music could be described as modern soundscapes, often without lyrics, certainly interesting and testing the system/speakers. Thanks
