My suggestion is you use the exact track that you're covering....or is there some reason you don't want it to sound like that??

7. Nils Frahm - Spaces - 2013
8. Brian Eno - Ambient 1 - 1978
9. AIR - 10,000 Hz Legend - 2001
10. Peter Gabriel - Half Blood - 2011 - [Esp. Bowers & Wilkins Ver.]

Honorable Mention:
