Did Riverside change their sound?
I used to listen to them (horrible heavy metal drumming and not-so-great vocals).
But their aim is progmetal, not spacerock, and their use of electronica is really, really sparse...

There are some songs I actually like, because the guitarist has some nice solos and the synths are not all that bad. But only a few moments does not make a great band.

I wonder why you thought this band belongs in this thread. Wink

Entheogenic borders trance, ambient, progressive electronic and space music.
This is really up my creek. Love it!

It's not fully instrumental (unfortunately), but I really like its synthesized soundscapes and the loud drums.

Been listening (for the 100the time) to Hidria Spacefolk's Astronautica. This is really instrumental progressive spacerock brought to perfection.

I think i'd be mistaken. But the name  Agusa does ring a bell. I will look it up.
Right now I'm kneedeep in Eloy by the way.

Although lots of vocals, I think they have the best synth-sound in the world.
Another band by the way with great synth- and guitarparts is RPWL.

I think you're confusing Agusa with another band. They (the Swedish band) released their debut in 2014 I believe, which btw is a loooong ways from stoner rock.
This particular song finishes off with the most alluring guitarsolo. Also lots of Eastern touches:

My Brother The Wind is also a new Swedish spacerock act that, at least on their sophomore release, injected some Eastern twang into the mix. (But it just might be a little too Popol Vuhish for you)

Ahh my bad... just noticed the synth driven comment of your's

I tried Djam Karet multiple times. I can't really like it.
Agusa I have good memories of. Listened to a lot of space/stoner 10 years ago. Now I'm not looking for stoner, but specifically for synth/sequencer driven progressive spacerock, like Ozric Tentacles.

Finally someone who gets me.
This is stellar stuff. The Russians know what I like. Great stuff, thanks. Will download it immediately.

Although it sounds a little rough (like a demo), and the guitarsound is a bit metallish, and the drums are way too loud. It has the ingredients to become a great band.
Now I come to think of it, it sounds like a instrumental version of Riverside.

I'm happy you like it ! Wink

For me, Human Factor sounds like a mix of psychedelic/space-rock and instrumental post-rock.

The problem with searching for spacerock on this website, is the over abundance of psychrock, krautrock etc,
Not the bands I'm looking for.

I just found this playlist on Spotify. Let's see what it brings me:
It's also a cd boxset and it starts with a Hawkwind kind of band: Ca!n. Not my cup of coffee. Let's what else it brings.

Not bad, sounds a lot like Pink Floyd, Airbag etc.
Not exactly what I started this thread for. And there a lot of vocals, and straightforward rhythms and no drummachines, sequencers or synths.

No drummachines, no weird tempos. no ethnic influences, no flute, percussion etc. No sequencers.

Really, I don't want to sound mean and bash any of these bands, but I started this thread to look for bands sounding like Ozric Tentacles, Entheogenic, Shpongle, Hidria Spacefolk etc.

I never post anything anywhere without doing more than basic research, often in depth.
