I think some of the old X-COM games (Terror From the Deep and UFO Defense) did a pretty good job with minimal soundtracks. They really made the Battlescape and Geoscape menacing in that Jaws theme kind of way. I know it wasn't the most popular of the series, but some of the Metroid 2 music might be a good inspiration as well. Some of the areas sounded legitimately creepy, especially when you were fumbling around in some dark alien cave all by yourself.
Unrelated, but having some sort of overly-cheerful muzak for the Medbay Waiting Room would be pretty great too.
