BoC and more songs that features these nature musical vibes

I'm looking for a help here and I think you guys here would help me out.
Any recommendations of more songs that evokes this feeling of watching a 80s nature documentary, like the beat-less interludes "Bocuma", "The Smallest Weird Number" and "Farewell Fire", as example? I always got stoked with the atmosphere of these songs, loving them more than the most beat oriented stuff they actually make (Geogaddi, for me, sounds exactly how a NFB documentary about sounds in a old and glitching VHS). I always tried to find more songs like these ones. I even tried to look for some library music that 80s documentaries used in the past, but I couldn't find nothing.
Any help would be great, guys!
(To remember, I'm preferring more beat-less stuff, but if you have something to release to some deep beats into it, are good too :3 )

Fieldtriqp is the best I can think of that comes close to that vibe.
Some early
Oneohtrix Point Never, could be a possibility also. Check out;

Yeah, OPN's stuff sounds like a old Japanese documentaries at some points. Just got my copy of "Rifts", such a great album! Also, I never heard about Fieldtriqp. Gonna try some tracks from him!
Keep coming the recommendations, guys!

I think I miss-spoke about Fieldtriqp. Definitely check his stuff out because it is great, but I'm realizing that it is quite a bit different than the science/nature documentary sound.
I really think Oneohtrix has that vibe and don't forget about Tangerine dream.

I agree completely ^^ Tangerine Dream nails this sort of thing on the head for me. You should check out some of the "one on twoism" albums on here, if you haven't! Or anyone who posts their stuff, I know eyesix had an ep that reminded me a lot of the sounds from bocuma and such.

I love TD! My favorite album by them is, with no doubt, Rubycon. <3 And yeah, the new Eyesix album was on my queue of "listen soon", maybe I'll listen to it tonight (when I get home)!

The Idaho Transfer's soundtrack has some cool BoCesque tracks with guitar and analogue synth. The movie is in the public domain, you can watch it here:

I'm very impressed by this video. Wish I could know if it's genuine or not. Good music anyways! Thank you for sharing.

Yes, this gives me chills. It really nails the BoC approach on the head! someone on this forum posted it during the initial TH speculation, but I forget by who or what thread it was.

This is an interesting, if depressing, film. I have a DVD-R of it. There is a Twoism thread dedicated to it somewhere.

Black Moth Super Rainbow maybe? similar vibe, although a little more poppy
check out the songs:
Smog in Cities
Hazy Field People

More Black Moth.
This one always reminds me of an intro song to some kind of 80s program.
