music recommendations wanted

[cellio]

I'm looking for music recommendations to solve a specific problem.

My office is next to a noisy conference room, so my officemate and I sometimes need to generate white noise. We have a small stereo for this purpose. (So I'm looking for CDs, not MP3s to play on the computer.) The important characteristics are: (1) instrumental [clarification: non-vocal] and (2) (this is important!) very uniform volume levels. Lots of classical music qualifies under (1) but has too wide a dynamic range to be practical for use in masking noise. I have a CD of Bach played on classical guitar that works well, but I'd like more variety.

Just about any genre would be fine. (I don't care for blues.) The music probably shouldn't be too perky; its job is to sit in the background, not inspire us to get up and dance. :-)

Any suggestions for specific recordings?

I was in a similar situation working in cubeland with people who spent a lot of time on the phone. These are some of my favorites. I may have to listen to them again paying attention to volume level, but I think they are all uniform volume.
