I need recommendations for artists who extensively used keys that sound a lot like the Space Intro in Steve Miller's "Fly Like an Eagle".
I believe Air is one band. Who else?

Gary Wright - Dream Weaver pops immediately to mind
10CC perhaps, on some songs
maybe ELO (Electric Light Orchestra)

Gong (particularly on You and Flying Teapot)
Hawkwind (think In Search Of Space, Space Ritual, etc)
Tangerine Dream (more so on the live recordings from 74-75 than on the officially released albums)

Nostalgia, you know, ain't what it used to be. Furthermore, they tells me, it never was.

Good recommendation! Let me also add:Originally Posted by markwoll
Michael Garrison - In The Regions of Sunreturn
Michael Hoenig - Departure From The Northern Wasteland
Peter Wasserman - Psychotron
Tarot Woman - Rainbow
no tunes, no dynamics, no nosebone
Watcher of the Skies - Genesis
"Normal is just the average of extremes" - Gary Lessor
There's no synthesizer on Watcher Of The Skies, nor is there anything spacey about it.
Mellotron sounds kinda spacy... when you're stoned.
Angel: “The Tower” and “The Fortune”

‘“What blow, Goblin?” said Corinius.’ --E. R. Eddison
N.P.:“The Earth Goes Around”-Pizzicato Five/Happy End of the World
yup, back in the days of real rock radio I used to think opening of The Tower was the ultimate fireworks show.
Todd Rundgren - International Feel from A Wizard A True Star
Actaully, check out Todd's Something Anything, Todd, and Todd Rundgren's Utopia for some real synth sonic fury.
Michael Omartian - Prelude from Adam Again
Some of the Moody Blues later songs like "the voice,""your wildest dreams" etc.
Steve Miller Band was the first to come to mind for me too though.
I suppose everything sounds spacy when you're stoned.Mellotron sounds kinda spacy... when you're stoned.
Not sirens.
Jean-Michel Jarre Oxygene & Equinoxe
Perhaps something by Synergy, but from what I remember Larry Fast's stuff on those albums was more upbeat than spacy.
How about some of Steve Hillage's stuff on "L" or "Motivation Radio" or "Green". That big TONTO synth had some pretty spacy sounds going for it.

'Go' - Go (Stomu Yamashta et al)
"Normal is just the average of extremes" - Gary Lessor
I'm sure this won't count but, Elton Johns' Funeral for a Friend, blows me out of the box.
The older I get, the better I was.
Oh Hell yeah. How could I have forgotten them

I Robot - The Alan Parsons Project
Since Synergy is all Synth anyway, how about The Outlaws using Electronic Realizations in Orchestration as an intro to their 70's live album? Killer album if you like southern rock.
Also I was going to say Tarot Woman. Glad someone else thought that up as well.

Welcome to the Machine
The instrumentals that surround Have You Seen the Stars Tonight on Blows Against the Empire
The Forge of Vulcan by Hawkwind.
These are old-fashioned but fun.
