Definitely John Adams, and if you want to get back into the early roots, try John Cage. Terry Reilly and Steve Reich did a lot of work with phasing and that's pretty cool stuff, too. I personally adore Michael Nyman. If you really like the strings, try Arvo Pärt's quartets. Henryk Górecki's third symphony is also BEAUTIFUL and more commonly known as the Symphony of Sorrowful Songs.
