Default Songs featuring Glockenspiel/Xylophone
Hi all, I have been searching for some good Glockenspiel/Xylophone/Vibraphone songs. I recently purchashed my glock and have been trying to get some extra inspiration. Got any good ones? Props if theres a bell solo in it!

This has got one in the middle that sounds really good. Kinda sounds like it has delay on it too.

As far as vibes go this is definitely a favourite.

Speaking of Frank Zappa here is a nice cover by Jean Luc Ponty of King Kong from Uncle Meat.

It doesn't drive the whole song, but I like the vibraphone on this.

Pretty much every song put out by Pierre Moerlen's Gong or Gongzilla

Gongzilla is an off-shoot of Pierre Moerlen's Gong which was an off-shoot of Gong which also had some use of percussion.

Just checked the liner notes and while Zappa composed and arranged most of the album he only played on one track which was the only track composed by Jean Luc Ponty - How Would You Like to Have a Head Like That.

Yeah, I know .. I'm quite fond of both Zappa and Ponty! I didn't mean to make you think he played guitar all over it. I was more trying to draw your attention to the fact that Zappa was a collaborator on this album which makes it a little more interesting than just a "cover album"

By the way, perhaps this thread could be expanded to include various other percussion instruments that are glockenspiel/Xylophone-like, for example marimba, vibraphone or balaphone?


This song has Glockenspiel and so, although I'm sure I've posted it before here, of course I do appreciate the opportunity to post it again
