I'm looking for some good, instrumental music to listen to while working on other things. No lyrics at all. I'm not a fan of classical but I'll give a listen to pretty much anything else. It's gotta move though, I'm tryin' to get things done, not fall asleep.
A couple recommendations off the top of my head (and a link or two for examples if I can find them on the fly)

Lowercase Noises *Here's one of his albums on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v4tU2VOayBM

Do Make Say Think *Here's one of their albums on youtube, if accessible to you: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eWAGmn50m04

Explosions in the Sky *Here's an album example, again on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9U38GB2qVWA
I rather like Apocalyptica. Here's one of their pieces: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GTxQ_VPL6OM
Maybe some ragtime piano?

if that's too close to classical you can try some boogie

or if you want something heavier you can try some guitar solos from steve vai, nuno bettencourt, richie kotzen maybe?

Azhdar: Do you like post-rock?

Leonard03: I like rock.
Put up some Queen and problem solved. :)
I know, I know it's not instrumental but it's the best background music for working/learning, Queen and some Aeromsith.

You should give a try to Hadouk Trio, I like all of their songs ;)
Especially this one: Centaurea (youtube.com)
And if you like that, Guthrie Govan and/or the Aristocrats.
