Good Ambient Music?

I'm Dungeon Mastering, for the first time, for a bunch of first time PnP players. (Brilliant choice of first DMing, I know.) and I'm really trying to set the mood for dungeons and fights, so I figured that some good ambient music would be the right way to go, but I just can't find anything that fits. I'm trying to set up a "You'll die here. Cold, alone, and far away from home." feel.
So what I'm asking is, does anyone know any good ambient music?

@Kamigoroshi, sorry but I can't use that in my current campaign setting but, if I ever take the party to hell that's the first track I'll play.
This one isn't quite right, perhaps... but would certainly good for a chase/escape from the dungeon:
How about some cthulhullan Nox Arcana to lift your players spirits?
Although the sample tracks of Torment: Tides of Numenera could work for you as well.
Or have some of one of my favourite bands: Two Steps From Hell!
Where do you guys find this stuff? I spent over an hour looking and all I found was bad trance music, that and my own Cthulhu ambiance. I want to run a Cthulhu campaign just so I can use it to be honest.

Well, I have a large collection of strange music. I would recommend looking at the following: Mike Oldfield, Laurie Anderson, Jean Michel Jarre, Katiejane Garside, Boards of Canada. They all have pretty ambient, strange and sometimes unsettling music.:)
Which is pretty much exactly the stuff I want
Doesn't really work unless you start your DM-ing in a Tavern during the gig of "Underdark Metal Band"
For more militaristic or battle-oriented ambient music, I recommend Trivium's Heldentod (from Pièce Héroique) and Impervim, or anything from Arditi or Legionarii.
