I have been listening to Gil Melle's score for "The Andromeda Stain" non-stop. While this does not strictly fit the sub-genre I was addressing with this thread, it fits in nicely. A range of stuff from proto-ambient to things with melodic phrases and definite rhythmic pulses. Uses electronic instruments along with manipulated sounds of drums, bass, alto flute, piano, maybe more. I think this limited edition CD has already sold out.
