(I'm sorry. I know this is the ILM equivalent of an ILE "Help Me Sort Out My Love Life" thread, but my old Wanted List is all used up and I need new input.)

- the first four minutes of Pink Floyd : Shine On You Crazy
Diamond, Pt. 1-5

If you're looking for an explicit ripoff, Eloy's _Silent Cries
And Mighty Echoes_, among others. The music is decent (if
derivative), but the vocals drag it down (the lead singer
sings laughable English lyrics in a heavy german accent).

For more original music with a similar sound, search
Porcupine Tree (especially their early stuff), Camel,
Djam Karet and later Marillion.

Should be late 70s/early 80s if possible

the slightly prog edge to it also makes me think of this soft machine tune too for some reason:

Thanks all - you can believe I'm already on the Soft Space train, one of my all-time favourites. I just saw the Yellow Magic Orchestra pop up and not that familiar with them - is there anything particularly along these kind of slightly-proggy lines?

(Skip to halfway for the synth figure that makes at a little more than dark ambient)
