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. -- Mr. Tangent "insert random quoted text here, for your reading pleasure"
