Ommadawn (if you treat On Horseback as a companion piece separate to the work). Otherwise it has to be The Snow Goose.

Anything by Maneige - whether the more symphonic phase (their first two) or their jazz-rock phase.

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter keep our sand-castle virtues content to be a doer as well as a thinker, prefer lifting our pen rather than un-sheath our sword |

^Yeah I was initially confused as to why Maneige was in Jazz-Rock/Fusion until I heard the third and fourth albums.

well, You can listen to Composite (Live but almost all new unreleased stuff) and Montreal 6AM and they keep going in the JR/F direction.

So many great instrumental prog albums, but let's spare a moment for Alan Gowan's band Gilgamesh - two excellent albums, my favorite being Another Fine Tune You've Gotten Me Into. The 40th anniversary of his death (at 33!) is on May 17. PA should have a Gowan Day in memory of a fine, fine musician with a heart and head as big as they come.

Too many to mention. However, I second Ian's mention of the monumental Five Suns (Guapo), and also the many mentions of Far Corner's wonderful Risk. Djam Karet's output is also almost completely instrumental, and very eclectic in nature - highly recommended. Speaking of which, I'd also recommend Herd of Instinct, as Djam Karet's Gayle Ellett is one of their members. Moraine from Seattle are also another good bet.

I'm more of a current instrumental bands fan.....The old stuff is good, I've played Tubular Bells to death now. The rest is jazzy fusion rock which is all good and fine. I much prefer harder rock, metal for the past 10-15yrs.
The Aristocrats-s/t Canvas Solaris-Sublimation, Irradiance Liquid Tension Experiment-I, II, III Liquid Trio Experiment-Spontaneous Combustion Pink Floyd-The Endless River (one song has vocals) |

I don't know for sure but I don't think there's any Djam Karet tracks with vocals. Then again it's possible since after all even Ozric Tentacles have one or two tracks with some kind of vocalization in them.

And, of course, buy everything ZOMBI has released!
Their new EP Liquid Crystal is bound to be another stunner. Here's the first track. |

Among more recent (last 10 years) albums, I like Steve Rothery's The Ghosts of Pripyat.
