What instrumental prog albums do you like the most and would recommend to other prog fans?

I haven't heard too many, but my personal favorite is Viljans Oga by Anglagard. I like the amount of depth and detail poured into crafting each piece. A very inspirational and moving album.
May God bless you all in Jesus' name. No matter who you are, you're special, you're loved, and you matter.

I would recomend Stati Di Immaginazione by PFM. Ovrfrws is also an interesting instrumental band, new and very exiting.

Anything by Anglagard, Herbie Hancock, Snarky Puppy, IEM, Far Corner, GY!BE, Gryphon, and John Zorn is always welcome for me. And don't forget 'Hot Rats'!

Great album, which I actually prefer over Hybris.
 
No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands. If I've become a man of the world somehow, that's not necessarily to say I'm a worldly man.

But the album that might be my favourite album from the 2010s is Atomic Ape - Swarm (2014).

You have a few excellent suggestions here already.
I would second "Romantic Warrior" "Enigmatic Oceans,"and "Stati Di Immaginazione."   
Adding Jeff Beck "Blow By Blow," Brubeck "Time Out," Kenso "In the West," JM Jarre "Equinoxe"
I may think of a few more...

Hybris isn't completely instrumental anyway.

The Snow Goose, since it's my favourite album of all time, instrumental or otherwise.

Listening to Hiromi- Voices as I read the post. 
Some other good ones would be:
  • Niacin - High Bias
  • Mahavishnu Orchestra - Birds of Fire
  • The Aristocrats - S/T
  • Camal - The Snow Goose
  • Al Dimeloa - Elegant Gypsy
  • Bozzio, Levin, Stevens - Situation Dangerous
  • Bill Bruford - One of a Kind
  • Joe Satriani - Surfing with the Alien
  • Jeff Beck - Blow by Blow & Wired
  • Liquid Tension Experiment - 1 & 2 
  • Frank Zappa - The Grand Wazoo (Mostly Instrumental)
