I really like the experimental style - esp. that both of your songs come from different corners of style.
The first reminds me of a band that had some success in club concerts in Germany 10 years something ago, called "Ballhaus" - they made non-commercial music over famous poems as well as over selfmade poems - given the lyrical texts a great emphasis. We liked it so much...

In his older works he also exposed experimental synthesis to voice overs (e.g. "Albedo 0.39") - whereas I knew the Armstrong excerpt from Mike Oldfields "Songs from Distant Earth", where they give a different expression.
