So...

I am a huge fan of Island's album Pictures and the prelude recordings Pyrrho. They are just absolutely magnificent masterpieces and I am looking for more in a similar atmosphere and vein as Island, if there is any such prog out there that can be considered in the same wheelhouse. I don't care how niche it is, because at this point I usually prefer one-off niche and unheard of bands to more well-known groups anyways (case in point, wishing for more music similar to a band that sings about "gastric juices").

Any suggestions?

Island was great, and also pretty much one of a kind. Having said that, I can think of some other things that may evoke a similar mood, even if they don't conjure the particular sound-world of Island.
