Melancholy instrumental trio Dirty Three formed in Melbourne, Australia in 1992, led by classically-trained violinist Warren Ellis, who began writing and performing music for art openings and plays... (http://www.mp3.com/dirty-three/artists/137707/summary.html)
and the:
Dirty Three official site (http://www.anchorandhope.com/)

mp3's available at both. I don't know what genre's your into, think Nick Cave but more haunting and beautiful. Sumpin' like that... (def. not new age but very layered and moving)
Cheers.

I don't know what genre you like so it is hard to recommend.

I love Phil Coulter. I play his Scottish Tranquility to death. There is also Irish, Celtic and American. I bought Scottish Tranquility but have since downloade more from LimeWire

Someone else suggested Tony O'Connor. Just about all of his are good.

Peter Gabriel - Passion; The Last Temptation Of Christ

Vangelis - 1492, Conquest of Paradise

there is some "singing"...vowelizations in Passion, and some lovely choral bits on the Vangelis.

Have you, like myself come to realize the potentially "destuctive" nature of so many lyrics? Instrumenatal music allows for "stream of consciousness" thinking, where the listener is free to FEEL and "interpret" according to his or her level of consciousness. Lyrics can constrict the listener to a one dimensional and verbally elite state of mind.

I've had a theory like this for some time. Lyrics always mean the same(unless more than one meaning can be read from them) So it makes you think about the words and can paint mental images in you're mind.

Instrumental music carrys it's own vibration (feelings emotion) but can make you feel differen't depending what mood you are in, it's not telling you the same each time you listen to it unlike lyrics do.

All the music I record.. my own tunes I create are all instrumental. I'm not a computer expert but I'm waiting for some studio music programmes to convert my recordings from tapes ( ancient technology lol 4 track 8 track studio ) onto my computer, and start to play and record new music onto computer.

So in time you can listen too, I'm rying to raise the concious vibrations through music. I'm in my thirties have been playing since age 7.

btw thanks for the suggestions ppl :D

I saw the Dirty three in 1993 at the Domain in Sydney, absolutely brilliant, By the way, nice to see you back :D, but my favourite for this category, is the Dave Weckl Band. The best drummer in the World, brings together his contemporaries, to really jam. Funk Jazz or just good music, classify it yourself. Nick Cave and the bad Seeds are superlative as well. :)
