Anathema (at least since the times of "Alternative 4") and Lake of Tears (the album "Forever Autumn").

RPWL (their MP3 that is available on this website sounds like PINK FLOYD 1967-1968) and PORCUPINE TREE.

Some of Mostly Autumn sound like Division Bell era Floyd. Floyd
with a little folk/celtic rock going on. The guitarist is very
Gilmoresque.
RPWL was a Floyd cover band origonally and still carry some of their Dark Side era sound.
Dyolf Knip sound a lot like them played backward

Mostly Autumn guitarrist Bryan Josh has a thing for Gilmour, so a lot from PF his heard on their songs, along with their own folkish sound.

Porcupine Tree is the one that comes to mind of the neo-progs

Without a doubt, the closest thing to Pink Floyd is a german band "RPWL". They even started as PF Revival Band, though they changed their style two albums ago.

The Sky Moves Sideways is really an ode to Pink Floyd. The Sky Moves Sideways Part 1 even has the Gilmour guitar thing going on.

if your looking for the sound of peak period Pink
Floyd or Tangerine Dream, mostly without vocals
and created in europe during the same time period
you need to look into mostly German Kosmiche
Musik!
Lard Free - I Am After Midnight or 3(france)
Atila - Reviure(spain)
Neuronium - Quasar 2C361(spain)
Sensations Fix - Portable Madness(italy)
Yatha Sidhra - A Meditation Mass(germany)
Ashra - Blackouts
Schicke, Fuhrs, & Froeling - Symphonic Pictures
is a good place to start!
I would hate for you guys to run your car into a ditch, I
dont think you could find the door to get out!

Porcupine Tree has some very obvious Floyd influences, closest thing Floyd I can think of right now.

Welcome to the forum.
Some bands that come to mind:
Hawkwind (classic space rock)
Godspeed You Black Emperor! (very trippy and experimental)
Porcupine Tree (if you like a slightly crunchy, metallic edge) |
There might be some similarities between GY!BE and PF, but there seems to be an awful lot more difference...

Riverside - Out Of Myself
Very good album with many moments of Floydesque magic.

Hi Ravensoul, welcome to the forum!
Pink Floyd went through some changes in style themselves of course, any particular albums of their's you had in mind?

Eloy sounds a bit like floyd, but it's really less good.
"Dom", a german band sounds close to PF, but it's quite amateurish.

I don't think Hawkwind sound like Floyd - they sound altogether more like Hawkwind 
Eloy are a mix of Hawkwind and Floyd - quite uncanny sometimes...

I think Eloy is closer to the sound of VDGG, albeit faster like Hawkwind. Pink Floyd has a pretty distinctive sound - something in between Hawkwind, Manfred Mann's Earth Band, Camel and Dire Straits, is probably most accurate.
