interesting perspective, thanks.
and thanks everyone for the suggestions. still searching but a good start.
some ideas:
1
cinematic/propulsive pet shop boys-produced/assisted pop (because why not?)
boy george - the crying game
eighth wonder - i'm not scared
pet shop boys - i'm not scared; + the whole of introspective
electronic - disappointed
etc

70s soundtracks/library music. a potentially endless supply of this, healthy reissue situation for the early giallo/italian end but spotty for the end of the decade and france. some can be found for next to nothing, others the opposite.. if penniless there is always soulseek/blogs/youtube to infuse your life with music, some favourites:
francis lai,
emmanuelle II 1975
james dashow,
oedipus orca 1976
late 70s morricone:
dedicato al mare egeo 1979,
l'immoralità 1978 and
il deserto dei tartari 1979.
bruno nicolai,
perché quelle strane gocce di sangue../case of the bloody iris 1971
a recent find is egisto macchi of nuova consonanza (the outfit shared with morricone, evangelisti) who i did not know before the several (semi-available) reissues, see
voix,
il deserto,
sei composizioni.
also on a library tip: m zalla (piero umiliani),
problemi d'oggi.

ryuichi sakamoto
polystyle and edward turned me on to him in an old thread, there is so much to discover, some favourites:
furyo/merry chistmas mr. lawrence.
nhk
century of reform (mentioned by polystyle, thank you wherever you are).
left handed dream
bamboo houses split with sylvian

gabor lazar
terrific (recent) rhythmic music that sounds utterly alien, see his
ep 16,
ils and lp with mark fell.
i leave you with the credits to oedipus orca as the earth trembles (we are having some aftershocks):
