Second, you can learn of some of the games he (and his brother, Geoff Follin) composed music for.

Finally, you can hear some of his music. I have links to videos I found on Youtube of some of his songs that I like below.
Chronos-ZX Spectrum
Raw Recruit-ZX Spectrum
Solstice-NES
Silver Surfer-NES
Agent X 2-ZX Spectrum
Ghouls N Ghosts-Commodore 64

Tim Follin is, without a doubt, a extremely gifted video game composer. The music in the videos above have a sense of inner beauty and passion. What are your thoughts on his music?

Yes, I did notice the similarities. It is nice when the music of a video game is actually worth listening to and isn't just ambient notes in the background.

Tim Follin is amazing -- his stuff is so ridiculously varied yet he always manages to leave his mark on whatever he writes. I've used some of his stuff in one of my quests and I think it set the tone incredibly well. (Particularly his stuff from Solstice and PLOK which I also think he had a hand in.)
