i'd like to add two albums of guitar music that i enjoy very much
Tony MacAlpine - Maximum Security
John 5 - God Told Me To

Speaking of guitar instrumentals, Patrick Rondat and Nili Brosh are worth checking out.

I listen to a lot of Bonobo when working/driving. Even when there are lyrics, it's easy to just let them float by, but esp the earlier albums are mostly instrumental.

Animal Magic or Dial M for Monkey are both pretty good places to start.

SomaFM has some quality stuff, old and new - though not all of it instrumental.
https://somafm.com/ - for all the channels.
My favourite is Groove Salad.
There seems to be also a new one - The Silent Channel - "NEW! Chilled ambient electronic music for calm inner atmospheres from Silent Records."

Vangelis would be my choice.

What's wrong with you people? No love for Animals as Leaders?

You should check out Music Box Dancer by Frank Mills. A nice new twist on an older instrumental tune. :)

I just found this song last night. There are some lyrics but the vast majority of it is instrumental plus you may not be able to hear or understand the lyrics so it might as well be instrumental.

It is called "Erblicket Die Töchter Des Firmaments" by Burzum.
