If we're talking about Air, I love their stuff. So glad I stumbled onto them. Moon Safari's my favorite album by them.

I'd call their stuff prog; sort of a modern hip prog. Tasty, sophisticated, and urban. Sounds great in airports too for some reason...

Holy smokes that was fantastic. I saw and listened to their version of Africa on youtube also which was really great as well. This group takes that song to a whole other level.

This song by an a capella choir - Perpetum Jazzile reminds me of Moon Safari:

I recommend the band Ritual. They are also swedish. I suppose anyone who likes Moon Safari would also like the Flower Kings but I kind of doubt anyone would know MS but not TFK.

I'm interested in that kind of "peace" and "sunny" musics too.

So far, I've found:
- O Terço - 1974: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3NlooM2IBkE
- Spock Beard - The Doorway: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RGvt-xN0rK0
- Karmakanic - Traveling Minds: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tL6J7BjaCpo
- Harmonium - Dixie: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hwamxQMefNA
- Ebbot Lundberg - Calling from Heaven: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=igR4JZOa0rU
- Anthony Phillips - God if I Saw Her Now: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FTyxsrZd5mc
- Acqua Fragile - Going Out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3oQDcBKhmxo
- Trees - Snail's Lament: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cgxrSa9uR-4
- Bacamarte - Passaro de Luz: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FcbWGSMSD50

Without citing a lot of songs from Supertramp, The Moody Blues, Magna Carta...

If you have advices for others band/songs, i'd be greatly interested.
Thanks in advance!

Besides Yes, the influence by The Flower Kings is pretty obvious.

Totally disagree. Because it isn't true. Not to my ears at least.

I don't care if they're prog or not,I've been digging them since A Doorway To Summer.When I'm down I play some MS,it's "happy feel good" music and always lifts my spirits.

To the OP: Moon Safari either borrow a lot from or simply are very much in the vein of classic symphonic prog, therefore, "in the prog genre", there's that. For instance, I don't remember any other band to have taken so much (and blatantly) from Rick Wakeman.


I don't consider "Lover's End' prog, sorry

Know one cares.
 
Shouldn't it be "no one cares"?
 


How did I let that one slip by?Embarrassed


Because you're at the Point of Know Return?  Cool

As for the OP's question see these:

If you're looking for similar bands, there's The Flower Kings, Transatlantic, Beardfish, Neal Morse, The Tangent, Karmakanic. But I think Moon Safari trumps them all in the vocals department.

A.C.T. are very similar to Moon Safari. I suggest you check them ous as soon as possible.
