I'm not sure if this qualifies as a _band_, per se, (it was in the
classical charts, as I remember) but there was Adiemus, which the site
belowlinked refers to as 'a "new age" or "progressive" Karl Jenkins
musical project'.  The lyrics are in an 'invented language' although
as far as I can tell they have no meaning or structure, being created
solely for the purpose of musical expression, or something along those
lines.  Quite pleasant to listen to, in my opinion.
