I went through a big phase with this stuff in the early 1990s, but haven't spent much time with it since.
I like:
Yma Sumac
Martin Denny
Arthur Lyman
Les Baxter
The Surfmen
Korla Pandit
Esquivel
Kali Bahlu (excellent!)
Enoch Light has a few decent ones, and even the usually-awful Hugo Montenegro did a couple of OK LPs in this vein, but these two are spotty at best (but usually with great cover art)
There are quite a few others; perhaps I will re-visit this section in the collection later today.
