King Crimson have written some great instrumentals, but most of all "Fracture" - my favorite instrumental of all time, Robert Fripp is a ****ing machine. I also enjoy Emerson, Lake & Palmer "From the Beginning", and agree with whoever mentioned Intersteller Overdrive.

Very good point, in fact: a lot of as you say "roots" acts do push the envelope in instrumentals, even traditional Irish or Scottish groups can pull off some amazing tunes.
I am a big fan of Celtic music and would agree with this. Their jigs/reels have a really unique energy, and they're very intense live!
