Could anyone tell me how they would classify a piece like this that consists almost entirely of moody or tone setting sound/noise with altered film vocals. I'd like to string together a few pieces like this onto one playlist.
This group 'Grails' had 2 bangers a few years back, 'Future Primitive' and 'All The Colors Of The Dark'.
What I'd love to find is really well done examples of something like 'Deckard's Apartment' though with more layers.
A really great one for me is from Italy by the group 'Dadub'
And another one from 'Dadub'

More than anything it's "sound design," rather than music, but try looking at "dark ambient" on YouTube. There are some interesting pieces on there ranging from an hour or so in length to eleven hours plus.

Just listening to this Grails track now. I wouldn't necessarily call it a banger but it is really intriguing I can see why you like it. I am definitely a convert from first listening, so thanks for adding this to my playlist!
As for what it would be called... really tricky. I would agree with the earlier comment but I think dadub sounds a bit like some of the realms of German industrial music but it also reminds me of an artist called Biome.
Biome:
Combichrist might be a good avenue to explore too:

So much that you might like
Try Jon Hopkins for starters and let me know how that works

Seconded. Try Immunity by Jon Hopkins. Open Eye Signal is a stunner with a great accompanying video.

Thanks guys, wow Biome is right on target for what I'm looking for and currently jamming to John Hopkins.
Is something like this interesting to anyone? Kilimanjaro Darkjazz Ensemble. I've never made through any of their albums straight through end to end but each album has had something that floors me.

Hell I forgot to mention some of these other ones here. A person can really go down a rabbit hole, to find an occasional gem, with stuff that sounds like Cities Last Broadcast and Atrium Carceri, Bohren and Der Club of Gore, etc.

This one which I'd fallen in love with this past winter during long drives along the coast at night, eventually noticing that a voice begins to speak in Polish towards the middle of the track and that I could understand it and apparently is taken from the film Martyrs (2008) which I'd never choose to see as even the reviews of the film on Imdb are gut wrenching to read.

Will do Mikey, thanks. I also use SoundCloud for stuff I just can't find anywhere else.

Excellent, Mike. Perfect for my car rides and visualization.
BTW you asked that I report back on the Jon Hopkins track you linked to. So, far what I'm looking for it's a bit too busy at times (even though the Dadub track I linked to has that incessant beat to deal with though on really quality gear it's all the other stuff that shines through)
But there are great moments in the Jon Hopkins track as well like around 3:33.
I find myself captivated when a piece of sound design/ song slows down for a moment to do something bizarre but that still holds its strange atmosphere. That's when it seems the recording is really calling for attention, like look at this weird thing we have here. Though when all of that is present while some music and rhythm is occuring simultaneously I find that great as well.
Maybe one example of what I'm flailing away at here is something like at 1:03 of this recording, though more macabre.
And 1:40 here of yet another Italian group.
Maybe there's a simpler more concise and direct way to describe this all.

Pretty cool, pretty interesting. I listened to the above for about an hour last night while driving through suburbs and into Boston.
At 01:25:00 there's something weird happening I think it sounds like very old age music you might hear at a fancy party at a hotel ballroom 100 years ago but it begins to sound warped as it continues like something is happening to it.
I think I'm nearly as fascinated by just sound on a recording as I am by music.
Sometimes the 2 mesh together a bit of noise that still has some sense of direction through a rhythm or melody somewhere in the mix.
On the right system, and in the car, I hear something quite ominous happening, more than just static noise on this track from BJ Nilsen - The Limits Of Function. On a resolving setup there seems to be a lot happening. It sounds like a wall of sound moreso than anything else I can think of.

Out of France. Dark metal band. May not sound like much at first but after 100 spins it's the most hypnotic creepiest thing I've heard and have been obsessed with this and what it turns into for a year.
It's part of a longer piece called 'Finsternis' none of which sounds anything like this one section.
