I'm looking for tracks that are similar to Opa-Loka (from Hawkwind - Warrior On The Edge Of Time):

 

 

The only track that I'm aware of that has a vague similarity in a way that appeals to me is Glue (from Peter Hammill - Sitting Targets):

 

 

 

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.

Glue and Opa-Loka are vastly different. I always found Opa-Loka kinda Krautrock-ish, you could try some Can or Amon Duul II, but which track, I don’t know......

They both have distant floating instrumental phrases behind a pulsating bass.

Similar in what sense? Composition style, melody, lyrical content, instrumentation?
