12-tone serial music always sounds to me like it belongs in a film soundtrack — it works well as background because the serial method suppresses the creation of recognizable melody as a foreground element.
Film score composers are quite famous for borrowing from 12 tone serialism - quite a bit of discussion on it available by Googling or using your favourite chatbot
I'd recommend listening to Webern's Op. 27, it's a strict 2nd Viennese school 12-tone composition but also very expensive, I love it (although it works better in a concert setting then a recording): https://youtu.be/ZEtqEzPakxA?is=JgbN1lpHF1lxrXOT
