A couple of more recent instrumental trips you might dig:





Couldn't find the Hidria Spacefolk album in one piece on YT, but I think the tracks are all there...

Soldato of the Pan Head Mafia. We'll make you an offer you can't listen to.

You should check out some Porcupine Tree. I particularly love the Live Coma Divine.

I don't understand. You like Neal Morse and PFM but not Yes and Genesis.

Musical tastes are a weird thing.

Based on your list I would recommend:

Agusa
Hadal Sherpa
Kotebel
Warmrain
Arabs In Aspic
Dream The Electric Sleep
Dave Kezner
Regal Worm
Deluge Grander
The Prog Corner

WOW ! i loved from bone to satellite ! thank you man for introducing me to post rock ! i don't know it ! i will try other albums, any other album like these ? 
 

Sorry, I missed this. From Bone to Satellite is very special for me, hard to find albums "like that", but maybe my first association would be Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas To Heaven by Godspeed You Black Emperor! Also my random selector just threw up something by Japanese post rock/math rock band Lite, which may fit your bill.

Maybe not Nektar but doesn't pretty much everyone(at least on here)know Porcupine Tree? They seem rather obvious to me. Good call on Nektar though. Maybe Eloy also.

Based on your list, try the Mahavishnu Orchestra. Start with The Inner Mounting Flame and then Birds of Fire.

I guess you should also check all the albums from the original line-up of Camel. Also Renaissance (perhaps start with Live at Carnegie Hall), The Moody Blues (Days from Future Passed), and Mike Oldfield (his 70's albums to start).
