Now on to my latin music kick:
I can't get enough of Paco de Lucia. An excellent example of flamenco guitar at it's finest, this is the real deal.
Antologia 1 ~ Paco de Lucia

Speaking In Strings - A Musical Companion To The Film (1999 Documentary) / Nadja Salerno-Sonnenberg is a beautiful and lovingly compiled profile of her (Nadjas) life in music:

Stunning and reduced me to tears upon first listen (bah!) especially Allegro vivace a movimento perpetuo in C major for violin & guitar (or orchestra), Op. 11 (MS72)
composed by Niccolo Paganini ...*sigh*
 
Paco de Lucia is good! You should check out Paco Pena. He's great too. And...

While you're at it, Andres Segovia, who was not studio-flawlessed out like today's musicians.

And ho! I'm seeing Pepe Romero this December live! Yahoo.

Mogwai - Happy Songs for Happy People is instrumental for all intents and purposes

That would have to be my favorite instrumental album. Another good one would be Ten Rapid by Mogwai. As far as i can remember, its instrumental.

Others would have to be...

Godspeed You Black Emperor - F#A#oo
Explosions in the Sky - Those Who Tell The Truth...

Chopin: The Complete Nocturnes And Impromptus

I love listening to this box set when I'm reading or writing. :)

Also I have to mention the 8mm Soundtrack
B00000I7J2.01._SCMZZZZZZZ_.jpg

I noticed the soundtrack the very first time I saw 8mm back in 1999. Mychael Danna is a very talented and original composer...the music in the movie is dark, erotic & mesmerizing.
From Amazon:
Danna conjours up something both beautiful and haunting with restrained strings next to an undercurrent of morrocan beats. It climaxes in a fury of tribal rhythms and the timeless orchestral arrangement made me weep. Buy it.

Tortoise-TNT
Boards of Canada-Geogaddi
5ive Style-Miniature Portraits
Four Tet-Rounds
Boredomes-Seadrum/House of Sun
Caribou-The Milk of Human Kindness
Heroic Doses-Heroic Doses
Aphex Twin-Druqks
Jaga Jazzist-What We Must

I would also suggest much of Brian Eno's work, although he does occasionally sing. I would suggest any of the tortoise albums I didn't list, TNT just happens to maybe the best place to start with them.

I know so many more, as I think of them I will type them up for you.

Lastly, I will point you towards my own instrumental album for download free:

I should also mention Sigur Ros. While not truely instrumental, the singer sings in his own made up language, which comes across more as an instrument since I don;t have a clue what he is saying and also because he sings that way.
 
Tuatara - Breaking the Ethers

One of the greatest "drug albums" ever featuring Peter Buck, Mike McCready and others.

Check out the track Dark State of Mind if you can..
 
any of the desert sessions...air (for the most part)...mf doom's special herbs series
