Good Muzac
With the new house, Rebekah and I will inevitably have guests over for dinner and whatnot. Our living room/dining area, we have a nice setup for music with our Bose Sounddock filling the room without taking up a ton of space. It really is ideal for the situation, however the issue comes with what music to play, so I am looking for recommendations. Typically I just want something in the background to supplement the discussion, so something without lyrics seems to work well. I also want something kind of mellow, but interesting. The best example I have of an artist would be Bonobo, but I am open to other ideas as well. So I appeal to the Internet to help me find new music to share with friends or just to listen to when chilling out at home.

Sigur ros (You’ll have to be selective, some songs can get loud), Explosions in the Sky, Christopher O’Riley (Radiohead transcriptions)
Check out Chicane. They are pretty good - although I haven’t listened to all of their stuff.
Rodrigo Y Gabriela is always good.
This is an old standby for whenever we have guests: http://tinyurl.com/363q8x
