Need your help once more, prog fellowship! 
I'm looking for more mindblowing stuff, dreamy prog..... something that can put me easily in a place far from my head, to make me fly over time and finding myself in an age before the world's creation.......... huh, you get me.... 
Some stuff already listened which I consider they fit in the charasteristics stated: Tales from Topographic Oceans, most Post Rock I've listened to...... no much more, trust me.
Be welcome to reccomend good mindblowing prog stuff!

Agalloch does that for me. Try Pale Folklore and The Mantle, you'll be taken to a trip.

Not really what you've asked for (cause you'll find a kind of 70's futuristic p0rn feel that dates it), but I find that Gong can put me in a dreamy place (as well as lots of space rock). "Isle of Everywhere" off You, "Inner Temple" off Angel's Egg, "The Octave Doctors..." off Flying Teapot.
Dreamy, even wet dreamy, never-the-less.

Watching while most appreciating a sunset in the moment need not diminish all the glorious sunsets I have observed before. It can be much like that with music for me.

the Bo Hansson is a bit dated but it's an excellent suggestion, as would be his 'Magician's Hat'... I used to listen to Allan Holdsworth's 'i.o.u.' to put me to sleep , but now I find it much too interesting to sleep to...

^ the only problem with Hansson's LOTR is that it is a bit short. You just get there and it's over.

DOM - Edge Of Time
http://www.progarchives.com/album.asp?id=9064 - http://www.progarchives.com/album.asp?id=9064
I highly recommend you this album if you want some dreamy type stuff. It will take you on a journey.
I also recommend Phaedra by Tangerine Dream and Svet Hledacu by Modry Efekt (the album cover in my sig. Not dreamy, but definitely mindblowing!!).

My mind has recently been blown by:
Jonas Hellborg - Art Metal (2007) (if you like heavy jazz-rock)
Phoenix - Cantafabule, for the n.th time (1975) (if you like heavy prog-folk, which I know you do)
Subterranean Masquerade, the album (soft doom-metal) (2005?)
Indukti - SUSAR (soft metal with harp and violin) (2004?)
Jean Paul Prat - Masal (symphonic, zheul, jazz, ecletic etc in one album) (1981)
Oaksenham - Conquest of Pacific (mix of symphonic, Gryphon, Gentle Giant and Jethro Tull) (2007)
Mar de Robles - Indigena (2007) (heavy eclectic from Chile, support your regional scene man!)
etc
you can find them all on PA!

PLJ Band - Armageddon
Cosmos Factory - An Old Castle Of Transylvania
Edgar Froese - Macula Transfer
These albums are the musical translation to the word
mindblowing (see my reviews)

Eternity (mind blowing title also ) 1996
IMO their best effort so far
I don't say that all their releases are good, but trust me and check this one
if you like atmospheric music (combined with metal and Floydish sounds)
then you will probably like it

From your the original post I asume you're after something very trippy.
Try
Gong - Angel's Egg , You or Flying Teapot
Eloy - Ocean or Silent Cries and Mighty Echies
Tangerine Dream - Rubycon
Jean Michel Jarre - Oxygene
If you're after something guanrateed to MELT YOUR BRAIN then you need
Amon Dull II - Phallus Dei
The bonus track TouchMe Phal will render you comatose. I've got many albums that are very trippy, but nothing comes even close to this track in terms of spaced out brain melting music.

Nothing does this for me like Pat Metheny. Offramp and The Way Up are both incredibly otherworldly. As I've stated in many reviews, when you listen to Pat Metheny, you aren't on earth anymore.

I recently got A Fine Day to Exit, and loved it. There is very little metal about it though - Anathema do have something in their sound that reminds me of PT (whom they are supporting on the current European tour), but they are even better IMHO.

"Journey" by Arthur Brown's Kingdom Come and "In Search of Space" by the Hawkwind could be a good pick. Krautrock features many jems in this direction: try with Popol Vuh's "In den Gärten Pharaos", Tangerine Dream's "Zeit", Can's "Future Days", Amon Düül II's "Tanz der Lemminge".
The song "Meuglys III" by the Van der Graaf Generator is as well mindblowing.

Yeah, I usually go on before school. It's 7:20 here, but I woke up at 6:00.
Also, Steve Hillage's Fish Rising is amazing. Solar Musick Suite blew my mind the first time I heard it.

The Cavanagh brothers have had a *love affair* with Pink Floyd since forever, which is why there are similarities between them and PT. Eternity signalled the beginnings of their softer, less doom-metal, experimental side (however The Silent Enigma is not without its experimemtal atmosperic aspects) and A Fine Day completed their move away from metal and into doomy atmospheric rock. Their entire catalogue played in chronological order is a wonderful musical journey.
The fact that this band are currently unsigned is the biggest crime in music history.  |
I honestly, would like to agree with both of you, but in fact, I find A Fine Day to Exit
their weakest effort in their discography. It's still atmospheric and Floydish in a way
but it lacks progression and deep feelings. It's a bit too commercial for me,
even though I find 2 or 3 tracks that remind me of the good Anathema days.
Their recent songs remind me of Coldplay... but I have to agree that it's a shame
that they are currently unsigned.
