Where to start?

Formed in 1984, the band has released 28 albums as of 2009, and become a cottage industry selling over a million albums worldwide despite never having major label backing.

-Jurassic Shift is one album I like to pull out first, but honestly, I love 80% of their music to death. Almost a perfect band for me. Nice and instrumental, too. The instruments do the talking...
Here's a live video of
Chewier (from the album "Spirals in Hyperspace")

I advise checking into these guys. If you like it, there's much more.
Stone Oak Cosmonaut is new from Europe and they are apparently tearing it up. Two years, two albums. Very good albums. Vocals are very hit and miss with me in general, but this singer's voice I don't mind for some reason.
Here's a few of my favorite tracks from their first album, "Out of Orbit", that really exemplify their style. They're a 3-piece from Netherlands.

Hidria Spacefolk are amongst my top 5 in this genre without a doubt. They have a really unique sound in a pretty crowded instrumental genre.

Quantum Fantay - Great fun in the same style as the Ozrics, more or less. And well done, I might add. That's Quantum Fanta(
s)y. They liked the typo better.

First Band from Outerspace is interesting
Oresund Space Collective are interesting. They're a collective, supergroup of psychedelic/space rockers from all over that come together to play more or less improvisational music once in a while for laughs. Throw it on CD and see y'all next time. Pretty cool.
Sula Bassana: Still relatively new in my life, but a staple already. Here's my most recent favorite, Slowner.

Korai Orom, Kingston Wall, Cosmosquad, SubArachnoid Space, Ici Maintenants, Mr. Quimby's Beard, Arzachel, Steve Hillage.
Don't go forgetting Hillage =D
*This is a rough list that hopefully I can add to and elaborate on before the week ends*
