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

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?

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

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

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

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

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 |

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 |

No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands. If I've become a man of the world somehow, that's not necessarily to say I'm a worldly man.

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

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.

![]() Also, Eloy were so popular in Germany that many bands copied them." That sounds fine with me as well, so maybe I need to have a look again at that period because I've had the impression that they got more Pop influenced.

quality over quantity, and all kind of PopcoRn almost beyond
