Eerie, Ethereal, Moody, Involving Soundtracks

I'm looking for more of the REAL GOOD, maybe unheard-of stuff.
Really got hooked on Asche & Spencer's *Monster's Ball*, along with some tunes from *Dead Man Walking*, *Johnny Handsome*, etc.
Music that completely takes you into a far-away galaxy, lets you concentrate on loneliness, yet ................. you want to crank the volume way-up and dwell within it.

Hey, the suggestions keep getting better !!
*Dreamy* or *Worldly* would have been a more appropiate word than eerie.
In the sense of a slightly more *Atmospheric* music WITHOUT a boring type rhythm machine.
Makes you want to listen over and over.

"Finding Forrester" soundtrack fits this bill nicely. Music of Miles Davis, Bill Frissel, and a version of "Over the Rainbow/Wonderful World" by the late "Great Iz" that is just great. Like Eva Cassidy, he was a young (although morbidly obese) singer with a remarkable voice. He was very young when he died but was very popular in Hawaii, where he lived.

Ryuichi Sakamoto's theme for Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence (starring David Bowie) is hard to forget.

The Requiem for a Dream soundtrack fits the bill of dark, eerie, and absorbing. Disturbing movie, with a musical score that's just as dark and chilling.

Enjoyed Mark Isham's soundtrack to "The Cooler" immensely (at least while watching the film). Doesn't really fit the bill, except for the "moody" part, but it is some really traditoioal, smoky, bluesy nightclub jazz sound.
