Orchestral Pop

I've always had a penchant for the grand and the dramatic in music which is probably why I've always gravitated towards Jon Brion's less grounded production work, and music by the likes of Final Fantasy and Cardinal. Anyway I was just wondering if anyone would be able to recommend any unsung classic orchestral/chamber pop. I'm looking for the really obscure stuff as I think I'm pretty down with the Plush, Moles, Nick Garrie material. Chances are there might not be much more to discover, but my thinking is, theres always one more great album that you may not have heard of, so has anyone got any suggestions?

It's scarcely 'unsung', but Led Zep's 'Kasmir' still rocks like a bastard. :)

Also a lot of Devin Townsend's stuff has an orchestral feel, especially some of the songs on his Ocean Machine and Infinity albums. Big, epic-sounding stuff with lots of sampled/synthesised orchestral instrumentation in places.
