Well, for what I could hear on their web site Cabezas de Cera sounds very promising.

Check out Cabezas de Cera, in a couple of songs they speak, but their music is instrumental, original and great.

PFM's Stati Di Immaginazione is going to be mine next choice, that's for sure.  And Ain Soph's A Story Of Mysterious Forest, as recommended by honganji Clap, is sure to follow. 
I did notice the fact that most instrumental bands are from the Jazz/Fusion sub-category.  I wasn't drawn to this genre at first but I have to say that a couple of real gems are hidden in there...  Thanks for keeping the replies coming in Thumbs Up

A lot of Post Rock and Jazz/Fusion is iinstrumental, as noted by earlier posts. 
 
A few recs
 
TNT  Tortoise
 
Enigmatic Oceans - Jean-Luc Pontry
 
The Grand Wazoo - FZ, I like it more than Waka-Jawaka, although "Big Swift is ana amzing song. 
 
Nova Express  - NebelNest French Avant-Gade, soudn a  lot like King Crimson. Good Stuff. 
 
Amarok - Mike Oldfield 60 Minute Title Track, Oldfield uses over 60 instruments, very pastoral and
 
avant-garde.  One of his best albums.

Morte Macabre I did enjoy as well, for what I could stumble upon.
And I'm listening to National Health in the background...  I don't know why but it kind of reminds me of Gentle Giant (which I love) without vocals !

I just stumbled across an excerpt from Guapo's Five Suns (five suns ii), YEAH! Thumbs UpThat's the kind of stuff I like !!  Can't wait to try your other suggestions Rocktopus....
I did give TD a chance and so far (for what i can hear on their site) i might get used to this "electronic prog".
And, no.  Magma is way too extreme for me.Confused

One of my favorite newer instrumental prog albums Guapo: Five Suns or Black Omi. Dark, heavy and melodic, a bit similar to KC 73-74.

Flamen Dialis
Maneige (three first)
Dedalus (debut)
Tangle Edge: Tarka
Morte Macabre
Sensation's Fix: Portable Madness
National Health


Shylock, Tangerine Dream (Phaedra might be a good start), and Soft Machine (Third) are great suggestions.

There's hundreds, maybe thousands of great ones out there, really. Since you stated you hate Magma (probably my favorite band) I stayed away from the extreme, very experimental bands and albums.

Find a fly and eat his eye

Don't believe in me

I'm not really an expert but Phaedra,  Rubycon, Ricochet and Stratosfear are all very good.

There are some mp3s in their profile which give you a fairly good idea of how TD sound, in their case I would give them a listen before you spend any money.

No problem I still think you should give them a brief listen, I wasn't interested in electronic music until I gave them a try I'm now looking to explore it a bit more. I think there are a few mp3s here.
