Well, your best bet would be movie soundtracks, I'd say, rather than anything coming from the game or (dare I say it) band-scene. It sounds like you're mostly interested in purely instrumental music, though it would be great if you could clarify that. For now, let me see if any of this tickles your fancy.
If you've spent any time at all on this site, you probably will be able to recognize this fellow. It's in the right direction of what you're going for, though it may be a tad too "light and bright for you." If it is, try the next option.
I'd say this would be right up your alley. It's from "There will be Blood" (Great movie). Other sound-tracks written by Jonny Greenwood tend to be similair in tone. For example, the Norwegian Wood one that he wrote. (Also a great movie, and a better book.)
And finally, if you don't mind vocals, heeeeey, go listen to Radiohead! Specifically the albums "Kid A", "Amnesiac" and "The King of Limbs" should suit you. Also, if you liked the last instruemental piece written by Greenwood, he happens to be the main guitarist of Radiohead.
@JCTango: Bah! Didn't see you there, mate. Sorry if I stole your thunder. You got impeccable taste, though.
