Hello!
A few years ago I was very fond of the theme of vintage synthesizers and liked to dig in the Bristol package containing a lot of emulators of the legendary synthesizers. Then in 2014 I wrote the instrumental composition "The Breath of Time", where I used emulated sounds of rarities synths: Minimoog, Korg Polysix, Oberheim, Arp Odyssey, Roland Juno, Prophet pro-5... Also on this track I used Linux-classic set: ZynSubAddFX, AmSynth, Hexter, WhySynth.

Re: The Breathe Of Time
This is pretty good, including the production! I miss nothing here, nice transparent sound and good mono compatibility. The style reminds me a bit of Neoclassical & Martial Industrial bands like Camerata Mediolanense without the vocals. At least this was the first that came into my mind. It sounds a bit trashy (kitsch, kitschig in German), but in a very good sense! Well done!
This is the most famous song by Camerata Mediolanense:

They use mainly Oberheim synths.
Another thing comes into my mind, which fits even better: The soundtrack of the famous German TV show TIM THALER by Christian Bruhn:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3B2QFUeuwE8
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lg0g0ThxqUk (this is pretty awesome and atmospheric by the way)
So, with respect to the style it's something like:
Christian Bruhn – Timm Thaler (Original Soundtrack)
Label:
Diggler Records – DIG 014 LP
Format:
Vinyl, LP, Compilation, Reissue, Limited Edition, Gatefold
Country:
Germany
Released:
2004
Genre:
Electronic, Rock, Stage & Screen
Style:
Leftfield, Soundtrack, Downtempo, Experimental, Symphonic Rock

Re: The Breathe Of Time
Very interesting track. Some classic sounds, and a lot going on, yet you've managed to avoid the trap of too much shared 'space'.

Re: The Breathe Of Time
In modern electronica, relaxing and perhaps even a bit more, my definitive long time favorites is a Russian duo called Koan.
