Queensryche - Empire best of both worlds, some of it is prog metal or more melodic technical metal then usual + some of the songs have Pink Floyd structure and are very clearly influenced by the Floyds, (Silent Lucidity cremt)

Gong is very similar in style to Syd's Floyd.
I shook my head and smiled a whisper knowing all about the place

Canvas Solaris and Gordian Knot sound like something you might enjoy.

Although they did add some vocals to Seventh Story but not a lot.

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

Ah yes I've listened to LTE tand all the songs they've made. DBS seems quite nice except maybe even bit too casual, have to check it out more on youtube.

If you like Dream Theater, I'd suggest checking out Liquid Tension Experiment.  They're an instrumental side-project formed by several members of DT, and they've got a couple of really great albums.

I like Dream Theater and Pink Floyd alot, and I ask is there anything similar instrumentalish prog for me to try (does not have to be completely ins)? Preferably bit on the lighter side.I'm new to this whole scene.

E: A mistake at the title. I meant the bands to the style of PInk Floyd have a lean on instrumentals, but not full instrumentals like LTE. But not Genesis. (Thanks for suggestions though).
