Chillout like Klaus Schulze, J-M. Jarre, TD, Vangelis...

For 28 years I've been experimenting with synth gear- the results are here.
Here is my downtempo/ambient/chillout music:

Brainful Moments.. very classical orientated. There was a band I knew of a few years back who did a track called The Evening Starlings, iirc, and this really reminds me of that. I think this track is nice and progressive and yes, very Jarre.
In the state of the flow... Again, very Jarre. Very clean sounding. I kept expecting it go go "somewhere" if you get me. It lingers a little too long perhaps thats a personal taste though.
Emerald Engine has a more Folky vibe to it I reckon. My god man, you must love Jarre, nothing wrong with that though.

Yeah cant say anything bad about any of this, like it all. And its all well mixed which is loverly.

Nice soundscapes, but the arpeggios are pretty fast (128 bpm, rough guess?) aren't they..., not something I would necessarily call downtempo or chillout, but it sounds cleanly produced and interesting.
I occassionally make downtempo stuff myself, but take a completely different route.

Not a Jarre fan myself, apart from the anthems...

Thanks for your replies.
@l-rs:
Might one call the track with the fast arpg. -> psytrance ?
(I don't know which other genre names my music would go with.)
I love arpeggios to pieces though
On my next tracks I shall feature vocodized stuff. For this i bought a mike this week. I may use vocoders with either 200 or 256 freq. bands or more. I tested already the speech clarity thereof, it is awesome, you can comprehend EACH AND EVERY word.
