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). |

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.
Give this a listen:

| Camel and Eloy are two big names, you have most likely heard some albums by these two bands before, but try "Rajaz" by Camel and "Silent Cries and Mighty Echoes" by Eloy, they have strong Pink Floyd influences. Also, in my opinion both albums are 5-star material. I tried to think of more bands, but it wasn't easy, but if I suddenly recall some good album or band, I will recomend it to you. |

Since you like Dream Theater and Pink Floyd, you could try listening to Riverside - though they are not instrumental. The song Second Life Syndrome from their second album of the same name, have always reminded me of a "heavy prog" version of Shine On You Crazy Diamond Pt. 1 Try to give it a listen below: |

Alan Parsons Project's I ROBOT is a kind of Floyd-light album, with some excellent tracks, including the opening instrumental, the hit "I Wouldn't Want to Be Like You" (the guitar solo sounds like pure Gilmour circa '75-77 to me), and "Day After Day" (you'll swear that's Gilmour on vocals and guitar). However, the best pure Floydian moment by the band is the song "Time," which always sounded like it could have been on THE WALL to me (although others talk about its similiary to "Us and Them"). Other truly great songs that are so Floydian it's hard to imagine they are by someone else: "Lunatic Fringe" by Red Rider (a big hit in its day, sounds like it's from THE WALL), "Silent Lucidity" by Queensryche (ditto), the Flaming Lips' "Pompeii Am Gotterdammerung" (sounds like it should have been on MEDDLE), Archive's "Again," Anathema's "Emotional Winter" (sounds like a DIVISON BELL tune), Tangerine Dreams' "Cloudburst Flight" (another MEDDLE-like tune), "Starless" by King Crimson, and the funk tracks "Cebu" (by the Commodores) and "Summer Madness" (Kool and the Gang) sound like they should be on WISH YOU WERE HERE. Some songs that definitely remind one of Floyd, even if they slightly predate them: Fleetwood Mac's "Albatross." And is it just me, or does "School/Bloody Well Right" by Supertramp sound totally like Floyd? Tangerine Dream's albums seemed particularly influenced by Floyd, including PHAEDRA, RUBYCON, CYCLONE, and FORCE MAJEURE. Brian Eno's 70s work often reminded me of Floyd. Check out his tune "The Belldog," or the instrumentals on ANOTHER GREEN WORLD. Oh, and Maudlin of the Well's PART THE SECOND CD has a couple of very Floydian moments in "An Excerpt" and "Rose Quartz Turning to Glass." Someone else mentioned Camel. For my money, the most Floyd-like moment is their brilliant album MOONMADNESS, with its Gilmour-like vocals. The German band Novalis has many pure Floyd-like moments in 1970s if you can take the vocals, including the tunes Sommerabend, Aufbruch, and Im Netz. Neu's 1972 tune "WeiBensee" has often been compared to Floyd. Concerning Pulsar, mentioned by someone else, I'd recommend their album HALLOWEEN over STRANDS OF TIME. Someone else also mentioned Djam Karet. Their song "Room 40" sounds like a Floyd rehearsal for THE WALL, albeit in embryonic form. Someone else also mentioned Eloy's SILENT CRIES AND MIGHTY ECHOES. I second that, but would like to add that their best and most Floydian album in my opinion is OCEAN, which preceded SILENT CRIES. Others have also mentioned Gong. I would add to that Steve Hillage's GREEN. Roy Harper, the guy who sang "Have a Cigar," often sounded very Floydian on his 70s albums. Perhaps the most Floydian is the song "When an Old Cricketer Leaves the Crease," which sounds like it belongs on THE WALL. As bar as contemporary bands go, Negative Zone's self-titled album sounds like DARK SIDE OF THE MOON-era Floyd, once you get past the first couple of songs. Another band, the Future Kings of England, have several great Floyd-like instrumentals (Bartholomew's Merman, Dunwich). Mostly Autumn is often compared to the post-Waters Floyd. My favorite tunes by them are "Half the Mountain" and "Heroes Never Die." RPWL is another one; check out their very Floyd take on Dylan's "Masters of War," which sounds like it belongs on A MOMENTARY LAPSE, as does "Hole in the Sky." Then there is the tribute band Think Floyd, which have also released two albums of their own material. Their tune "Hope" is reason enough to seek it out. You'll swear it's Roger Waters on vocals; and not only that, but it's better than anything he's done since leaving Floyd, in my opinion. Porcupine Tree's early stuff is pure Floydian, incuding the albums THE SKY MOVES SIDEWAYS (the intro to the title track and the short version of "Moonloop" are awesome and very Floyd-like), ON THE SUNDAY OF LIFE, UP THE DOWNSTAIR, and SIGNIFY. Marillion can be very Floydian; particuarly on the tracks "Ocean Cloud," "Neverland" and "Invisible Man" from their album MARBLES, and their album BRAVE, which seems influenced by THE FINAL CUT, but is even better, IMO. "Asylum Satellite One" from their most recent album is decidedly Floydian. What else... Vangelis' soundtrack BLADE RUNNER reminds me of Floyd; "Clouds Up" and "Playground Love" by Air are pure Floydian; Flying Saucer Attack's "In the Light of Time"; Sigur Ros' album AGAETIS BYRJUN; Spiritualized's LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, WE ARE FLOATING IN SPACE; Radiohead's OK COMPUTER; etc etc. |

But those modern bands sound like the 2000s while Pink Floyd had a distinctive 70s flavor to them. Like I said Mike Oldfield's 70s works were much more Floyd-like than a post-1997 Porcupine Tree release or any Riverside album at all. -------------

Maybe not all the time, but Brazilian Violeta de Outono does get pretty close to Floyd at times. This one from their Volume 7 album is testimony to that, and what a tune it is! Turkish act Siddharta also wields an uncanny Floyd vibe. One of the rare successful heir-takers of the sound imo: ------------- “The Guide says there is an art to flying or rather a knack.

I guess Coma Divine is sort of the Live release that captures that particular era of Porcupine Tree. It was released (or recorded) just after Steven Wilson released the first Porcupine Tree with the defined line-up (don't remember it's name), so includes songs from that album, plus many other songs from the previous albums (which were most of them originally played only by Wilson on all instruments). |

Check out the album "Rain Falls In Grey" by the band Radio Massacre International. It's got a Pink Floyd vibe to it. I also really like PF member David Gilmour's solo album "On An Island" (Rick Wright also plays on it). As someone else mentioned earlier in the thread, the first three Alan Parsons Project albums ("Tales Of Mystery And Imagination", "I Robot" and "Pyramid") often sound similar to Pink Floyd too.

But "On an Island" only feature Wright in one song, if I remember well. At the best on 2 or 3 songs. However, there's the live album "Live in Gdansk", and the DVD "Remember that Night", which feature the whole "On an Island", plus several Pink Floyd classics, and those ones do have Wright on the whole performance... making them almost Pink Floyd releases. Plus, the songs from "On an Island" are played with more energy, making them for me more enjoyable. Oh yeah, and the version of Echoes is really wonderful. Plus, we may say this live releases are the last farewell for Wright

I love the "Live In Gdansk" release too, I have the 5-disc version which has some extra tracks on it. Watching the DVDs is very inspiring for me... Gilmour and Wright were over 60 but still doing their best, playing with a lot of emotion. I love Rick Wrights "Wet Dream" album too, it's a pity he didn't release more albums like "Wet Dream".

Yeah, but Broken China was very nice too. And have you heard "David Gilmour on Concert", a semi acoustic Gilmour release, with some nice arrangements of old songs, plus, it has one song with Wright too, his own "Breakthrough", which played by both Gilmour and Wright (and Floyd's usual sax player, just forgot his name right now), it sounds like a true Floyd song. I'm still hoping that Wright's last intended album, which he didn't have a chance to finish, would come out somehow some day... but I guess it's really kind of out of the question really. |

I honestly don't think that many bands sound that much like Floyd.....but I do think a lot of Eloy's material does at times....at least it does to me.
Oh...forgot to mention The Future Kings Of England especially the first 2 albums. ------------- One does nothing yet nothing is left undone. Haquin |

| Some of Eloy's stuff I'd say is more 'derivative of' than 'influenced by' Pink Floyd (Silent Cries and Mighty Echoes, I'm looking at you), but I love it all the same... hell, I think I listen to Eloy more than I do Pink Floyd. I think the Silent Cries/Colours/Planets-era Eloy in particular shows a heavy Pink Floyd influence, with some real strong guitar playing. |

I'm really digging this band called Crippled Black Phoenix. They seem to be influenced by Pink Floyd a lot. Here's a song called In the Heart of Every Country, off of the album (Mankind) The Crafty Ape. The bells in the beginning really sounds Pink Floyd-esque to me and the guitar really reminds me of Gilmour's guitar playing  ------------- Did you ever imagine the last thing you'd hear as you're fading out was a song? |
