This maybe a wild stab in the dark, but I highly suspect that most people are recommending Floyd-like bands but as in the classic mid 70s Floyd sound. The OP here is asking for early Saucerful of Secret influenced prog Wink

Edit: Maybe the OP could change the title of the thread to something that reflects this? I could do it myself, but I'd rather not step on toes just yet Embarrassed

Check out this 1977 Library album by Magical Ring Light Flight/More And More, the two title tracks, These french composers more or less steals 50% Floyd and 50% mid to late 70's Tangerine Dream and make short moog driven space rock ditties out of it. Not all gold, but mostly

Unoriginal in every way but very beautiful at times.

Its never rereleased in any shape but you can stream the whole album here: http://grooveshark.com/#!/profile/Magical+Ring/23199789

Sensation's Fix wonderful two first albums Fragments of Light and my favorite Portable Madness) has its own sound but are still very much in debth to early Floyd

For the early space rock style I would definitely get the first 2 Future Kings of England and for the Barrett style I would get some of the early Robyn Hitchcock and the Egyptian albums ...he's said that Barrett influenced him.

I'd also ck out the early Brit psych pop/rock bands from 67-69. There were some who wrote in a similar style in those days though they don't sound exactly like early Floyd.

Ever since news of the new Endless River coming out I've been listening to Pink Floyd albums. Can someone name some good bands that play similar to the Saucerful of Secrets era to Atom Heart Mother? I know of The Future Kings of England.

Sorry, but FKE is not like "Saucerful of Secrets era".

If we talk about the era of Atom Heart Mother, it may be Crippled Black Phoenix, for example.

Is this really from the new Pink Floyd album? At first I thought it was promising, but then it dragged on for a bit too long without much happening. I might have expected it, since it was stated from the beginning that it was going to be mostly ambient. At least the already oficially demonstrated song, "Louder than Words" is more of a tipical song, but not nearly as good as what I liked from "The Division Bell" (at least on first listen). I guess we'll just see how this goes on.

The Endless River has as its starting point the music that came from the 1993 Division Bell sessions, when David Gilmour, Rick Wright and Nick Mason played freely together at Britannia Row and Astoria studios. This was the first time they had done so since the ‘Wish You Were Here’ sessions in the seventies. Those sessions resulted in The Division Bell, the band’s last studio album.
In 2013 David Gilmour and Nick Mason revisited the music from those sessions and decided that the tracks should be made available as part of the Pink Floyd repertoire. It would be the last time the three of them would be heard together. The band have spent the last year recording and upgrading the music,using the advantages of modern studio technology to create The Endless River.
The Endless River is a tribute to Rick Wright, whose keyboards are at the heart of the Pink Floyd sound. It is a mainly instrumental album with one song, ‘Louder Than Words’, (with new lyrics by Polly Samson), arranged across four sides and produced by David Gilmour, Phil Manzanera, Youth and Andy Jackson.

Yeah, I had already read that information. Mainly my doubt was if the link you shared with us actually is a track from the last album as it will appear, or if it's the original recordings without the new work that's been done to it, or where it may have come from.

Oh well, I had hoped you knew were this came from. But indeed then we'll have to wait. There's been so much talk about how it's suposed to sound like, and I'm wondering what it will actually sound like.
