Sleep by Max Richter is great (and very long)

Sunset Mission by Bohren & Der Club of Gore is very very sleepy Jazz (they have released more albums, but this one is my favorite by a wide margin)

Long Ambients 1 & 2 by Moby - he was kind enough to make them available for download free of charge, too

Under Wires and Search Lights by Marconi Union

In A Silent Way by Miles Davis

Pretty much anything by Sigur Rós. It's not strictly speaking instrumental, but the lyrics are Icelandic, which I don't speak, so it's close enough

Cocteau Twins recorded many very ambient-ish albums. Not instrumental, but the "lyrics" are mostly glossolalia, so not distracting (at least for me).

No particular order:

Max Richter, John Cage, Tangerine Dreams, Klaus Schulze, Gavin Bryars, Richard Chartier, Asmus Tietchens, Tomaga, Boards of Canada, Stars of the Lid, William Basiniki, Joanna Brouk, Pauline Oliveros ...

I do way too much coding...

> Pauline Oliveros

Yes yes yes! Finally someone who won't make fun of me for listening to Horse Singd from a Cloud.

You should add Laurie Spiegel to your list, something tells me you'd enjoy.

		"Deep Listening" by Pauline Oliveros, Stuart Dempster and Panaiotis is also excellent: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U__lpPDTUS4
