I think Jean-Michel Jarre's OXYGENE and EQUINOX are solid instrumental Prog-related albums.

Love the three Colosseum II albums. "The Scorch" is awesome!

War Dance and Electric Savage are fantastic. The debut album featured vocals and I don't like it as much. When the line up changed I believe they toured and then recorded Electric Savage straight off the back of touring to retain that energy/ buzz they had. It was successful certainly! BTW the working title of Intergalactic Strut was Interplanetary Slut

The 2CD reissue of Strange New Flesh improves on the original album, IMO, with the added music and bonus live tracks (including a version of "The Scorch"!).
I always use Colosseum II to show people how great Don Airey is and not just an Ozzy sideman or Force Field participant.
Slut?? |
I've pressed the order button on that 
I vaguely remember going to a Dream Theater gig and someone pointing out 'there's Don Airey''. I wouldn't have known him from Adam.Great player of course. I remember him being interviewed and saying that he had some solo project in the pipeline that was classical based. That was probably 20 years or more ago. Wonder if he went ahead and did it?!

Genesis touring guitarist Daryl Stuermer's album Go! is a pretty good instrumental album.

Snarky Puppy--More jazz than prog, but generally fairly fusion-y. (Their latest is actually a collaboration with various jazz vocalists, but their others are all instrumental) Blotted Science--Instrumental tech death metal. Pomegranate Tiger--Djenty metal. You'll probably hear influences from Animals as Leaders, Opeth, Gojira and other metal bands in them. Intervals--Decent djenty metal. Humanoid--Psych/Space (Only got one rating in the archives!) Tosin Abasi's and Misha Mansoor's recent two song collaboration--Nothing special, but worth a listen. Just YouTube it.

I like Bruford;s stuff......and Modry Efekt are very good too......not familiar with Frob.....I'll ck them out.
I often play Return To Forever when I'm in the mood for good instrumental fusion.

Frob's pretty cool.
Anyone like Kaseke?
A good Rush-styled instrumental trio is Blue Drift. I like their CD Mariner.

If you fancy some instrumental stoner rock with prog tendencies in the vein of Sabbath/Kyuss/Isis/Earthless, etc. try some Mothertrucker.....

John G. Perry – Sunset Wading. Four tracks have vocals but they’re minimal. If you like his work with Caravan, Quantum Jump and Aviator you’ll like this. A great ensemble cast including Geoff Richardson, Michael Giles, Rupert Hine, members of Nova.
