Maybe John Fahey's The Yellow Princess, or has that been mentioned? Check James Blackshaw, incl his latest, Fantomas.

Kikagaku Moyo a current Japanese band are doing interesting things with raga meets rock, just got their Mammatus Clouds set and am just getting into it. got a 29 minute track, a 16 minute one and a much shorter one.
Peter Walker has been pretty great on the couple of cds I have of him, Rainy Day Raga and the 1970 Tapes.
Pelt were interesting, though maybe that's too droney for you. & I really like Greek soundtrack music though I need to investigate much further

I've been meaning to check out Town & Country actually, it maybe had both Vidas in it? Some of the Boxhead Ensemble stuff may fit this bill, but there are quite a few records/incarnations and I get them mixed up. Lots of Frisell-ish/Americana sounding guitars though.

Definitely a lot of good players that passed through the Boxhead Ensemble too. Scott Tuma, Fred Lonberg-Holm, Charles Kim, Mick Turner, Jim White, tons of others.

http://ironmountain.bandcamp.com These guys from my hometown just released an album that is kicking my ass. Sounds like a lost seventies classic. Psychprogkraut vibes with incredible use of uilleann pipes and flute mixed in with the guitars. It really deserves to be heard by more people
