If you can get hold of Apocalyptica, I recommend it: instrumental heavy
metal played on cellos. (Really.) There are MP3s out there if you want a
sample.
I've certainly found that instrumental music is much better for
role-playing games than anything with lyrics, even if they're not
comprehensible to the players. Aliens soundtrack, Universal Soldier
soundtrack... action films of that period tend to be good.
