I remember there was some really cool music that Clapton did that was used over the end credits of the movie "Communion" with Cristopher Walken, about "alien abductions." Sounded Gilmourish to me but I don't think it was ever released, or never released on CD. If anyone knows if this is out there on the Interweb somewhere, please let me know!
>>>>>So, question -- you disagree with whole albums - do you mean those posts where the WHOLE continual record is on one link??
Are you then OK with all the songs on a given album being up there, one video each?? Where do we draw the line??
Also -- is it wrong to have, say the entire "Close To The Edge" up there?? IS that ripping off Yes??>>>>>>
I generally think that a good and easy way to be heard these days is to have a Youtube presence, it gives an opportunity to hear if a band is for you or not.....but I cannot understand the mentality of someone who posts an entire album for the sake of it, no. However, if I really like the stuff there's no way I am content just to hear it rendered in crappy Youtube audio, so that may well lead to me purchasing it on CD. Whichever way we look at it, the genie is out of the bottle, and he ain't going back in :-(
Yes, In a major way it's about the proverbial genie, also about the fakeness of the music/record industry that some people pretend is some golden period that got taken away from them because no one is buying their totally derivative and unoriginal records.
I agree with the Rain Falls in Grey recommendations - I've also been playing the crap out of Emissaries recently - fabulous album!
Again, a bit of a stretch, but ... Mr. Gilmour can be found on some of Bryan Ferry's solo albums, such as 'Bete Noire'. Some of the songs found there are 'trance-like'

I blame Wynton, what was the question?

One more thumbs up for Vietgrove.Well worth your time.

I found this on Synphonic. Apparently the name of the band is Level Pi (since that's a pi sign). The album "entrance" is listed.

Exactly. Level Pi is the pronunciation. I also own two other albums of theirs (Electronic Sheep and Dunkelstunde) but they are harder to come-by.
Vietgrove are excellent! Thanks for the info!
Where can I get their physical cds?
Try the Norwegian band "Airbag"

They started out doing Floyd covers but there own material is very mellow and retains that Gilmour guitar sound. Identity is particularly good.
Brilliant! One of my favs!
OP and others interested would do well to check out Days Between Stations. The new album "In Extremis" has a track called "In Utero" that might just butter your toast. The self-titled debut has a few in that fashion.
And the new album has some cats named Wakeman, Levin, Banks, Moulding and Sherwood on it.

there's also an album called "On an Island" that is quite ambient sounding with an excellent Gilmour soundalike guitarist on it
Why is it whenever someone mentions an artist that was clearly progressive (yet not the Symph weenie definition of Prog) do certain people feel compelled to snort "thats not Prog" like a whiny 5th grader?
indeed, he almost nails it a time or 2 on that one.

You can usually pick up a copy of the 'The Little Apocrypha' on Ebay pretty cheaply. Our last album, 'The Stellar Nursery' hasn't been made available on cd, as it simply isn't worth the cost of the pressing some cds up. However, you can get a very high quality download of it in a variety of formats at http://vietgrove.bandcamp.com/
Seems kinda dumb and obvious, right? But yeah, this is really a fantastic album - great mellow, summer album.there's also an album called "On an Island" that is quite ambient sounding with an excellent Gilmour soundalike guitarist on it
And his Live in Gdansk is excellent, too.

Thank you SO much! I downloaded The Stellar Nursery & it certainly is "stellar!"
Ordered the other 2 on e-bay!
Really good MM! After Electric Tears, what would you suggest?
You're welcome, please enjoy!!Thank you SO much! I downloaded The Stellar Nursery & it certainly is "stellar!"

Buckethead discography is all over the place stylistically. I personally would go for "Colma" and "Population Override" next (these are among his highest rated on RYM) as being really good and somewhat similar to "Electric Tears." "Electric Sea" was the follow-up to "Electric Tears" but not as good IMO, but still quite good.
Wurzel of Motorhead fame released an ambient album in the late 90s, Chill Out or Die.
I seem to have misplaced my copy but if I recall correctly it was pleasant enough, though the audio quality could have been better but maybe that was just my copy.
Marconi Union, maybe?
