quality over quantity, and all kind of PopcoRn almost beyond

That's why my favourite Eloy Era is the early 1980s...still Floydian sounding but more symphonic with occasional heaviness - not sure Floyd ever had a riff as monumental as the one in "Child Migration". Also, Eloy were so popular in Germany that many bands copied them.

That Astra album is excellent , maybe a cross between Floyd and Sabbath!

For post-psychedelic early Pink Floyd, Astra. For The Wall, a group that uses elements from this album is Queensr’che.
Astra - The Weirding Queensr’che - Silent Lucidity |

Check out the CD "In Extremis," by the project/band Days Between Stations. It was Peter Banks' last recording
Rick Wakeman is on it as well. Excellent music! Channels DSOM Floyd nicely. Both versions are double LP with full color gatefold design featuring the gorgeous artwork by Paul Whitehead. The audio was specially mastered for vinyl by Grammy® Award winning engineer Evren Göknar. The packages are being manufactured by Erika Records, the premiere vinyl manufacturer in the United States. Besides us Oscar and Sepand the album features amazing performances from several notable musicians including- Peter Banks (YES, Flash) Tony Levin (King Crimson, Peter Gabriel, ABWH) Colin Moulding (XTC) Billy Sherwood (YES) Rick Wakeman (YES) Edited by cstack3 - November 03 2021 at 16:48 |

If I want to find some new albums in a certain subgenre, I look first at the highest rated ones on RYM and PA.

If you like the early Pink Floyd before they became a cash cow stadium band, then you might like some things by Popol Vuh.

Maybe not representative of the band overall, but the Barclay James Harvest song "Ra" sounds a bit like Floyd.

They're two of my all-time favourite Japanese psych albums.

The Far East family band, particularly the 'Nipponjin (join our mental phase)' album.. and the original Japanese 'the Cave down to the Earth' lp.. i always thought they sounded very Saucerful to Meddle era floyd (though Klaus Schultze's remixes on Nipponjin are a bit odd to my ears..)
Astra kinda had a bit of a Floydian vibe going.. what happened to them?

Too close for my liking. Especially albums like Ocean which are basically Floyd sounds revisited

Perhaps one of the most derivative Floyd clones of all ELOY

If you prefer the space rock era of Floyd - i.e. approximately from Saucerful to Meddle, than I'd suggest the early Hawkwind albums from their S/T debut through to 'Warrior on the Edge of Time'.
