A sound having "ambient" qualities does not necessarily need to be restricted to soft downtempo trance, it can have both driving beats and ambient/ethereal sounds. I'm also well acquainted with the term thankyou. I'm heavily into ambient music.
As for your appraisal of RP, I can't take with more than a grain of salt. In this forum, anything is called "cheese" that isn't particularly liked by the person making the claim. The definition is actually wide and varied--In my book there's both bad and good cheese. If you mean cheesy lyrics, I agree, if you mean "cheesy" (as in cheapp commercial) sound, then I have to disagree. Just because something is melodious and catchy does not render it "cheese". And if I'm correct, one of Austria's top classical music composers is behind the act. Great stuff...
Also, their music is extremely atmospheric (ambient), basically the same difference -- unless you wish to get technical.
