I'm waitiing with you, whether somebody recommend something really similar to Camel''s Lunar Sea, because I like it too.
 
Ekseption and Omega are not the same sort, but you can try it too

It is not propably exactly what you are searching, but try some works of Isao Tomita.
 
Be patient and listen full album (not some random parts only), if you want to evaluate it

A couple of other things ... Larry Fast's solo albums ... Nektar's "Recycled" with Larry Fast on the synths ... Genesis The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway ... and if you get bored ... you really want to get M. Frogg's first album for a lesson in all the fun things you can do and say with an analog synth, including some swear words when you are bored! I would also include Emerson, Lake and Palmer's first 4 albums or so.
 
For some more hardcore stuff you really want to try the early Klaus Schulze stuff, Agitation Free, and that whole family of folks, the Berlin Factory as they are called.
 
M. Frog... of course. How'd I not remember that.  I'm assuming you mean the album M.Frog by Jean Labat. I havent heard it in ages, I'm gonna pull it out this weekend, thanks for the reminder.

As far as things already mentioned, yeah, you can't go wrong with the early ELP, and Larry Fast on Nektar's Recycled-awesome material!

       I also wanted to mention Larry Fast  in Synergy's first album "Electronic Realisations For Rock Orchestra" which tends to get overlooked, but is really something

Though there are not a lot of extended solos (the moog work is in chunks, really) I would recommend Triumvirat's two albums Illusions On A Double Dimple and Spartacus. Jurgen Fritz is good at saying a lot in a limited amount of time, especially on Spartacus
           (whoever thought i would mention Triumvirat?LOL)

If you want some mind-bending Mini-Moog licks, speed ahead to 7:44 of this one and let Patrick Moraz work you over!!  

When I first heard this live (1976, Relayer tour, Bloomington IL) I could not believe the sounds PM was getting out of his Moog!  He "played the oscillators more expressively" than other players of that day, like Wakeman & Emerson. 

Some really good Fender Rhodes electric piano and Orchestron mixed in!  Have fun, Chuck

Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

Wobbler and White Willow, Lars Fredrick  Froislie exclusively uses analogue synths, and must have a dozen or more different ones. Afterglow and Terminal Twilight are the places to start respectively IMO.

If you dont mind Epic Black Metal, you could try another of Lars Fredrick Froislies bands, In Lingua Mortua. Probably more analogue synths in use there than either Wobbler or White Willow.

That's awesome.  I can't figure out how to use it right, though Cry.

It's on my thread for Bob. You can actually use the mouse or the keys.

Spectrum by Billy Cobham has some wild duels of guitar and Moog.
