A band that always gets neglected is Grails. Sure they started out as a somewhat archetypal post rock band, but when they made Burning off Impurities they were an all around different force to be reckoned with. They fit the bill of pairing together the far east with the heart of America somehow.
I'd like to think of them as the modern ROCKING Popol Vuh. |

Just a few off the top of my head:
Ozric Tentacles (I'm sure you are familiar with them though since they've been around for quite a while) Djam Karet (ditto above but not quite as well known) Quantum Fantay Hidria Spacefolk My brother the wind Probably a bunch of other newer bands I can't think off of the top of my head right now Ok these two aren't contemporary but you might have missed them the first time around: Can (considered "krautrock" but if you like Ash Ra Tempel you'd probably like them too) Amon Duul 2 (ditto above) Gong Edited by Prog_Traveller - January 12 2013 at 22:40 |

Moonwagon, great instrumental band with high quality spcae rock sound that is not generic or derivative. I fell in love with Moonwagon after one song.

Most of your other suggestions I could get behind, specially rearding Grails (whose description is pretty spot on), but Vespero isn't really that special IMO. One band I really like is Violeta de Outono. They are a very good space rock band from Brazil; their "traditional" sound is a mix of Pink Floyd, the more pastoral parts of Hawkwind (specially Warrior on the Edge of Time) and late Mutantes, but their latest album, Espectro, brings some of the "newest" influences from the modern space rock bands from Continental Europe. Another interesting Brazilian band is Invisible Opera Company of Tibet. I don't know these guys as much as I do Violeta, but their latest album is very good. Edited by CCVP - July 18 2015 at 19:53 |

Ozric Tentacles, one of the finest space rock bands out there. Jurassic Shift would probably be the best place to start.

Just giving a further thumbs up for Moonwagon. Excellent recommendation. Fairly heavy, driving, greta musicianship and lovely production on their albums. Heard a few off the new one (out this week I believe), also sounds good.
Spotify also came up with Black Noodle Project who I hadn't heard of previously. What I have heard (admittedly only a few songs) is really nice, in a lighter vein, mostly instrumental and a clear Floyd influence. |

Litmus- Check out their lp 'Aurora' on rise above records, kinda like
Hawkwind (no.. very, very like Hawkwind) not sure they are still going,
this lp is about 2009.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BAZmyhgHBlU Apparently they played live 2014 for the first time in years https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A1aqIaTjoQY Whatever happened to Underground Zero?? I think they made one lp in the 1980's and disappeared.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k_X-XpzyL24 No, wrong again, gigging on and off up till 2013 and maybe beyond... Reminds me of squat gigs in Bristol and Stonehenge
