Very interesting question.  Three things that immediately come to mind are: 

Autechre-Vletrmx21 (off of the "Garbage" e.p.)
Goretski-Third Symphony (amazing ambient/classical music that recently
rendered me full of tears - very emotional and overwhelming at times)
SPK-Zamia Lehmanni (seminal industrial outfit, this album is an essential
release and is not typically "industrial" or SPK sounding, for that matter.
 Dark, somber symphonic soundtrack type music <Graeme Revell is a genius>)

I'm sure there are quite a few more, but my mind is blank.  Good luck.
