So this is quite specific and I tried to fit the important stuff in the title, but here’s further elaboration (because it is definitely needed).
When I remember documentaries about earth or universe (specifically how it was formed, big bang, or how the moon came to be, etc) from the nineties and early 2000s, then they seemingly all used the same kind of background music. Something that I can only describe as Old school LoFi, smooth but kind of exciting electronic beats.
Does anyone know what I’m talking about, and what this music really was called? Do you maybe even have some examples?
Thanks!

You might wanna give the entire Boards Of Canada catalog a listen

This is very close!
I guess a lot of documentaries used similar copyright free music, that thus sounded “simpler” (lower production quality).

This is what I was thinking, although I feel some of the samples more represent 70’s & 80’s

True they might evoke nostalgia for a more 70’s/80’s vibe Oneohtrix Point Never is pretty great too. Whoever synth or vaporwave artists are sampling… Anyhow if you do find what you’re looking for please update! I’d like to give it a listen too
