Oh, sorry, Brian Josh plays a bit like Dave Gilmour and their record company promoted them (unwisely) as "The New Pink Floyd". And Rick Wright and Dave Gilmour liked them (a lot) and they released an album of Pink Floyd covers. That means MA are Floyd clones. Does it ****.  But I love both bands.
 
As for Nimrodel, this is not remotely like Floyd either.
 
But my favourite IS a Mostly Autumn track which does sound a bit Floydian in mood (though not execution) and that's The Night Sky from their debut. Sensational.
 

What a brilliant post. Agree with every word.

My vote goes to....oh, I don't know. For a start, I wouldn't regard Starless as being remotely Floydian, nor Ocean Cloud for that matter.

Try this youtube clip if you haven't found it:
 
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aFTmQSI8qb4
 
If ever there a better combination of images and music, I've yet to hear/see it. The version of The Night Sky is slightly different to that on For all we Shared - it's off one of the compilations and is remixed and improved (hard to believe) and the guy who does the visuals is brilliant. Put it on before you go to bed and you'll be perfectly relaxed.

Let's kill this "Mostly Autumn are like Pink Floyd" thing. Sure, they adore Floyd and were influenced to play music by them but, unless Floyd released a load of tracks I've never heard with female vocals, flute, violin, Uillean pipes, tinged by Celtic folk, I don't find their music very similar. Oh, sorry, Brian Josh plays a bit like Dave Gilmour and their record company promoted them (unwisely) as "The New Pink Floyd". And Rick Wright and Dave Gilmour liked them (a lot) and they released an album of Pink Floyd covers. That means MA are Floyd clones. Does it ****.  But I love both bands.
 
As for Nimrodel, this is not remotely like Floyd either.
 
But my favourite IS a Mostly Autumn track which does sound a bit Floydian in mood (though not execution) and that's The Night Sky from their debut. Sensational.

you don't think so? The first time I heard it, it reminded me very strongly of Floyd (and so *unlike* anything else in the KC discography, at least until the long solo section comes in). The beat of it particular - that kind of slow, de de DAH shuffle in 4/4 found on classic Floyd tracks like "Atom Heart Mother" (at the 10:23 mark, when Gilmour's solo comes in). Brilliant tune, anyway :-)

The Queensr˙che and PT tracks are also rather floydish. Silent Lucidity has a strong Roger Waters-feel.

I love that Tangerine Dream track on the list. I suppose the lushness of it is a bit like Floyd in some respects.Soaring guitar was a bit unusual at that time for TD.The drummer is much better than dear ole Nick though!]]> Fri, 30 Nov 2012 15:13:14 +0000 http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=90836&PID=4670740#4670740 Your favorite "Floydian" track : Voted for Nimrodel, but I didn't... http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=90836&PID=4670728#4670728 Author: HolyMoly

Voted for Nimrodel, but I didn't see Starless there at first, otherwise I would have voted for that.

Honorable mention for the AParsonProject's "Time", such a pretty song it is.

Here are a bunch of monster tracks that (intentionally or not) seem mightly indebted to Pink Floyd. (The exceptions would be Fleetwood Mac's "Albatross," which had a huge influence on Gilmour's spacey, bluesy solo style, and Dylan's original version of "Masters of War.")  I could only list 25, or else I might have added yet more tracks.
 
On a second note, which track(s) do you think should be on this list? :-) Cheers!
