Not exactly what you are looking for but I love this whole album......more psych guitar than space but it's great.

Dragontears might be worth a listen, then, as far as Danish bands go. They had quite a few songs along the lines of what you are looking for.





Their singer/guitarist's in a ton of other groups, but this is the only one that regularly hits the OP's description. Øresund Space Collective might fit the bill as well.

Really nice stuff and seems like i want to hear more of them, but i'm not looking for every trippy band out there; i'm searching something similar to the track Maggot Brain from Funkadelic. That's the kind of guitar i want. Slow, sustained and no drums nor other instruments giving the song more complexity than it needs.
 
You're a hard man to please, but here's another suggestion:
 
 
I feel it may be too atonal and freaky for what you want. But it's worth a go!

Really freaky and hard to appreciate but definitely worth a go. Is one of those tracks that you have to listen a few times to understand it :P

Btw I've moved this thread to 'recommendations'

That's toooooo slow for me and not trippy enough, sounds more like a regular simple rock acoustic but hey that's just my sh*tty opinion.
Thanks for moving the thread, i didn't see this area when posting.

Sounds kinda weird. i like it but is far from what i'm looking for.

You need yourself some Papir, a group from my country playing a modern reconstruction of Amon Düül/Ash Ra Tempel-type space rock though there's some of the more mechanical robotic groove reminding me more of Can and Neu! there. I think they're signed to the label ran by the guys from Causa Sui.



Also, if you're curious hearing what that sound filtered through heavy post-rock in the vein of Pelican andRussian Circles would result in, then the German band Rotor might be worth a listen.



Papir reminds me a lot of Ozric Tentacles which is nice! I really like it but didn't quite hit the mark.
I also like Rotor guitars but they might be a little bit fast for me.
I'm hearing the other sugerences right now.

Totally not my space rock style.

Thanks a lot to everybody for all the replies, i thought this post was gonna die with only 2 or 3 recommendations. I'm still not fluent on english so i'll try to give my best and answer all of you as detailed as possible.

Greetings from the manifestation emerging from the shell of my skull.
 
"a guitar doing some good trippy slow stuff" is an ongoing quest for myself, as well.
You commented something referred was "too fast and noisy" and I assume you must be
talking about either the Om, Ufomammut or maybe even Subarachnoid Space (doubtful on that last one, actually).  Anyways, both 'too fast' and 'too noisy' are in the ear of the beholder, as in subjective, so all we can do is take some hacks and hope to connect on something you like.
 
For Ash Ra Tempel, check out Friendship, at almost 27 mins.  From a later, less popular release but the track is really one long showcase for Manuel Gottsching's (sic?) guitar playing.
 
By the way, there is a 100% instrumental version of Maggot Brain kicking around;  it skips the metaphysically ambiguous opening comments and just gets into the track.  The feedback effects used on Eddie Hazel's guitar are eliminated so you can get a better feel for his work on the track, but it is WAY less trippy than the release on the original album.
 
I'm going to start with 2 tracks I absolutely love, both off of My Brother the Wind's 1st disc,
Twilight in the Crystal Cabinet http://www.progarchives.com/album.asp?id=29639
The last 2 tracks on the disc, The Mournful Howl of Dawn & Death and Beyond total about 30 minutes and can be sampled here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YJ8gSd0Xmj8&index=4&list=PLqfcU9Ak2INu11nUGvBrArVwr7WK1R_n2
That playlist also has a killer, though short, track by Buckethead who likely has some stuff that you'd dig;  he has tons of longer pieces including many in the 15-30 minute range but he has such a massive output that extreme patient is required for anyone newer to his stuff, I suspect.  If that Mrs. Beasley track, from the above playlist, does anything for you then also check out his (longer) tracks Aunt Suzie, Liquid Mantis, Midnight Sun, Coastline, Ghosts of Broken Eggs, Heaven is Your Home, In Search of the... Volume 1, track 2 (at 14:50) and Invisable Forest (spelling as is--that one's 29:16).  At least a starting point on the Buckethead, to see if you like any.
 
Three new recent, extended pieces that worked for me are:
Khan Tengri-No Beginning, No End(9:23)
Sendelica-I Once Fed Peter Greens Albatross(15:39)
Spacelords-Black Hole(21:10)
 
To discover new music, and to both get and give these types of tips, is really why I signed up for these forums so I had to jump in.  Totally check out the My Brother the Wind and if it does anything for you then I could probably add a few dozen handful more.
 
One last thing, you posted this is the forum for questions on 'topics not related to music,' and you likely want to pick a more appropriate forum for a question like this in the future.
I'm still trying to find my way around, too.

I like you.
Ash Rah is not really my style but i do enjoy their work on that album.
About that Maggot Brain version, somebody already said what i think about it on it's comment section on Youtube: "orignial is a million times better, love this tune to bits but dont think that xylophone like sound is needed tryin to over complicate perfection is never goin to go well!"
I think i already heard some stuff from My brother the wind and it's a great band and i really like their style, just not what i'm looking for right now.
I'm listening the other extended versions and they seem to be nice but still not what i'm looking for.
Thanks for sharing man, i like your style.

this is defenitly not what your seeking but i post anyway

this is a song i think feature what i think in my mind is the most ideal guitar tone, and its both dreamy and sort of spacy, yet not what you ask for, its just the most fantastic guitar track



Don't really like this one, the little i hear of the guitar doesn't convince me.

Originally posted by dr wu23 dr wu23 wrote:

Well....I like Causa Sui and Samsara Blues Exp for long spacey psychy jams with guitar....and a band from New York called 'Endless Boogie'.
All have long trippy tracks with extended jamming.

I know them all and love their work, but right now i'm searching for something more guitar based rather than lots of weird trippy sounds.

Originally posted by ALotOfBottle ALotOfBottle wrote:

To me, this is the best space rock album of all time, period. This is perfect if you want loooong, spacey, overdriven guitar solos. In a way, a spacier version of Funkadelic. Have a listen to the title track, "Flying".



Found UFO a few weeks ago. Totally agree, they deserve so much more recognition. Awesome album, not just a few tracks, all of them are pure gold.

Didn't like this one either, but it's art reminds me to Giles Corey (Different genre but darky and cool)

Frond is nice but more psych than space rock.

I like Hawkind, but still not what im trying to find.

 I agree, but then Maggot Brain ain't exactly space rock either, and that was OP's fave so far...
 
EDIT:  It appears I am using BF to mean either Bevis Frond or Bondage Fruit in this thread Embarrassed
