Does anyone have this kind of music shared? It makes it easier for me to study because there are no words, but it has the relaxing appeal of the modern instruments unlike the classical music. Basically I am looking for stuff like what Blue Man Group does.

Im not exactly sure what to search for...

Look for Japanese Taiko drumming. Uhhhh, maybe Enigma if you're into that? Apocolyptica is excellent too; it's Metallica covers with cellos.

You might also try Third Eye Open. It's the string tribute to Tool. Very good. It's the only classical cd that I've ever bought. It should be shared by someone (usually me, but since I've reformatted recently, I don't think I've ripped it again yet).

Pretty much any art/post rock band will fit this list.

Mogwai makes some of the most beautiful music you'll hear today

Some other bands in this vein:
Sigur Ros
Godspeed! You black emporer
older Murder By Death stuff
A silver mt. zion

And if you want people to think you are crazy, try out some noise acts:
Wolf Eyes
Hair Polic

And the best instrumental band of all time:
The Advantage (they play live instrument renditions of classic NES songs)

That should do you for a while.

I actually have both String Tool tribute discs, but like you, I don't have them ripped. That's more from forgetfullness, though...

Joe Satriani - Engines of Creation, whole album with a techno feel, using nothing but a computer and a guitar...other good albums are "the extremist" hard rock feel to it, has the some what popular "summer song", and "surfing with the alien" has the popular song "satch boogie"

Steve Vai - Alien Love Secrets, most of his stuff is really wierd, but this one is more of a rock album, good shit

Jeff Beck - You Had it Coming, awesome album, you'll love it

boards of canada- geogaddi
massive attack
red snapper
dzihan and kamien

anything on the warped records label or on the ninja tune label.

hope I helped
