Default Good Complex Music Recommendations?

Basically I've been searching for a few months for some "good music" and I've definitely found some things, but none of it is REALLY what I'm looking for. Probably because I can't be very detailed in my Google search about what I like . So maybe here you guys can understand me better than Google and give me some better suggestions? I hope so!

So I know everybody has a different opinion about what "good music" is, so let me try to explain to you guys what I'm looking for before you give your suggestions.

I like non-traditional stuff. I bore easily of 4/4 time and repetitive beats. I really enjoy exotic scales and exotic time signatures or other unique/experimental types of things. I really like progressive music and music that is emotional. If an artist can bring tears to my eyes with their music or lyrics then I am seriously impressed. If music progresses through different emotions, different scales, and different time signatures, then wow I am in love.

I view music as a true art form, and when I listen to music I wonder how the artist ever managed to produce something so perfect and so complex. I really appreciate good sound design. I wish some techno artists would REALLY unleash the power of electronic music. An example of very good electronic music is Shpongle (the song "Electroplasm" is a good example). They mess around with time signatures, scales, different genres, different emotions, etc. They truly produce art with their computers.

Basically, I really appreciate complexity. I don't like simple traditional meaningless stuff. I wanna hear some stuff that some crazy music PhD's produced that takes years to fully appreciate.

Also.. I'm not afraid of any genres. I listen to BTBAM, Born of Osiris, Animals as Leaders, Shpongle, The Beatles, Queen, Eminem, PJ Harvey... Almost anything I can get my hands on that seems like it has some legitimate talent in it. I don't want any "started from the bottom now my whole team ****in here", or "I'm faded, faded, faded, faded" . Although I don't mind rap music. I appreciate complex rhythms like those that Eminem uses on occasion, or Tech N9ne. Sorry for the lackluster examples, it's actually really hard to find good examples of what I'm looking for.

tl;dr
I want some stuff that is legitimately artistic. Give me instrumental music that will bring tears to my eyes, or some rap songs in 7/8 time, or even some music that doesn't follow a specific time signature, like the song "On Impulse" by "Animals as Leaders".

Thank you all for your time and suggestions!
-Ryan
