These guys are absolutely fantastic. Great mixture of space rock, fusion, and psych. 
I only have their debut studio album, Symbiosis, and their initial EP, Spacefolk. 

I've given plenty of listening time particularly towards that EP. Love it, love it, love it. 

Any other fans out there?

And for newbies to the band..

I bought the vinyl versions of Live At Heart and Astronautica and they are both Fan-Friggin'-Tastic !! They out-Ozric anything OT have done during this new millennium, and I like the fact that they're less electronica-oriented than the Ozrics. More rocking. Superb musicianship.

I gotta listen to their live albums. Haven't gotten to them yet. I think i'm going to just move through their discography chronologically. Though their newest album is really intriguing me.

Bump :D

I was wondering if anyone knew bands like these guys. Not so spacey in their sound, with some cool textures and possible some great drumming. I like the drive these guys have, so i was curious what bands are similar.

Mantric Muse is high up on the list.
Oresund Space Collective have a similar spirit too.

I really dig these guys (even if they sound A LOT like the Ozrics).
My fave of theirs is Symetria where they injected some really cool Sabbath-like guitar riffs into their sound. The last three tracks on the album tower over pretty much everything else they've done imo.

Bands that are similar? Try Quantam Fantay from Belgium. I've got the Ugisiunsi album and it's great....especially for cycling or training weights. The other folks in the gym may have another opinion on that though.
