I suggest "Deep Forest"
I have about two dozen of their songs and I love every one of them. They have a few that
I did not like, but overall, they are one of my favorite music groups.
There are categories like Jazz, Rock, Punk, Pop, and so on... but, Deep Forest is not in
one of those.
They are in a league with just a few other musical groups which are different and unique.
Deep Forest:
Innovatively fusing traditional ethnic musics with
state-of-the-art rhythms, the work of Deep Forest was best
typified by their 1993 smash "Sweet Lullaby," which brought
together the contemporary sounds of ambient techno with the
haunting voices of the Pygmies of the central African rain
forest.
The project was primarily the work of the French
keyboardists and programmers Eric Mouquet and Michael
Sanchez; after the latter returned from Africa with boxes
of records he'd picked up across the continent, he and
Mouquet began sampling the native sounds for use with
their atmospheric dance tracks, and with the aid of
producer Dan Lacksman, their eponymous debut LP appeared in
1993.
Propelled by the international hit "Sweet Lullaby," Deep
Forest was a surprise success; Mouquet and Sanchez soon
began work on a follow-up, this time exploring such areas
as Mongolia, India and Hungary, recording several tracks
with singer Marta Sebestyen.
The resulting album, Boheme, appeared in 1995; the third
Deep Forest record, Comparsa, followed in 1998, with Live
in Japan appearing a year later.

Try and find a few songs by Deep Forest on the internet and listen
to them.
Here are a few more of my favorite "Alternative" musical groups that
you may consider listening to:
Enigma
Karl Maddison
Wise Hand
Zorro
Delerium
If you enjoy mellow music with "thought provoking" sounds, then you
will like these musical groups.
