Question X-Files sounding vaporwave

I have found that the soundtrack from The X-Files is my all-time ambient music of choice for focusing on working. That raw Yamaha DX7 mood, that electronic bass that reminds me of Beverly Hills Cop, the rainy quality... nothing beats it.

Which vaporwave albums have a sound that is closest to Mark Snow's soundtrack for the The X-Files? I usually go for either 2814 (which is more like "vaporwave adjecent") or Vangelis' The City (not vaporwave at all), and Fornax Void. Any suggestions?

Don’t know if you might be into it, but for some reason I’ve been absolutely blasting the theme from nypd blue lately. There’s just something about it that awakens some feral, inner something in me, as well as some other songs by Mike Post. I found the cassette Inventions From The Blue Line recently and it got me listening to some of his stuff.
