Requesting Help Developing Table-Top RPG Playlist

Alright, so here's the challenge, the playlist I am aiming to create will be for my upcoming serial table-top campaign.

Setting: starts Chicago, 1893, goes until whenever, wherever.
Concept: Gilded Age Monster Hunting.

Music styles desired: dark/subdued instrumental (i.e. Bear McCreary's Battlestar Galactica)
minimalist like Philip Glass's Solo Piano
non-operatic adventure music (i.e. not like John Williams, Hans Zimmer) Elements of The Time Machine
Soundtrack manage to toe the line, but just barely.

So, I'd like your thoughts. You may fire at will.

How much music do you need? Between them Williams and Zimmer have produced hours of music that would work.

I don't know if this is what you're looking for but it's the right time frame.

Sorry for the ambiguity there, Williams and Zimmer do what I term Operatic Soundtracks.

Basil Poldurus or however he spells his last name. Did the soundtrack to Conan and a lot of other stuff. We always seemed to have Man O War going too, especially Triumph of Steel. Not terribly instrumental though.....

Some of the soundtracks from the darker Star Trek films may fit, but they also may run over into operatic sometimes. I personally love the opening theme from First Contact.
