Good study/elevator music? (CSI style)

Hello. I'm going to try to play a little study music in my dorm when I work. I can't concentrate when music with words is playing, but I'm enjoying stuff like the 2nd half of the CSI soundtrack--kind of a mix between elevator music and techno, with no voice (except for a few ahs here and there)... any suggested albums/artists I can test out? Thanks.
 
Classical has been shown to correlate with better performance on some tests.

However, I've found the majority of the "Trip Hop / Ambient Techno" genre is great not only for ambient sexing music but also for studying:

Morcheeba
Hooverphonic
Leftfield
Portishead
Underworld
Cafe Del Mar
Thievery Corporation
Nightmares on Wax
Zero 7
Kruder and Dorfmeister
Lamb
Air
 
Those are pretty cool, thanks. Most of them have some lyrics... The ones I really like from the CSI track are from Euphoria, Bliss, and John M Keane, but I can't find anything else by them. Any ideas/other artists with similar no-lyrics music? I'm getting into more classical stuff too, but prefer this for studying.
 
Cooler... still a bit upbeat... (not being picky, i'm using these, just trying to clarify my tastes)... any other ideas?
 
classical definitely helps if i'm having trouble concentrating, but i've found i also can do well with radiohead playing (especially ok computer)
 
one more bump... still looking for something a bit more passive... no vocals (a few moans OK), good, low-key techno beat, very similar to Bliss - Song for Obali or the John M Keane stuff made for CSI. Any ideas? Thanks 🙂
 
Look up John Tesh's later albums - Live At Red Rocks, Avalon, One World, Grand Passion.
It's not all that technoey, but it's great study music.

For a more technoey feel try:
Mike Oldfield, in particular, Tubular Bells, Tubular Bells II, Tubular Bells III, The Millennium Bell, and The Songs Of Distant Earth
or
Patrick O'Hearn
or
Mantra Girl
 
Bach - Air

Actually, when I want study music I just put on my classical collection. I like Rachmoninoff the most, followed by Chopin.
