Early Pink Floyd is incredibly weird. The Velvet Underground and King Crimson also have a lot of weird tracks.
shareLOVE early Floyd.
Childhood's End is my favorite song of theirs, and one of the best rock songs of all time IMO, as well as THE best-written rock lyrics hands-down, IMO.
Main Theme & Dramatic Theme = Hypnotism
Dogs, Pigs, Sheep = Amazing songs
Summer '68 = Gorgeous
Astronomy Dominae = Celestial
Marooned = Pure Floyd
Obscured by Clouds = Stunning ambient music
Pow R. Toc H. = Fun quirky track that has some amazing piano and instrumental work
Most of the Pink Floyd stuff I own is the early stuff. I agree Summer of '68 is a gorgeous song but I really like the quirky psychedelic stuff like Matilda Mother and Let There Be More Light.
I've actually been looking years to find another band that has the same type of psychedelic sound as Floyd, but can't find anything.
Yes, Light is a great one and part of my Floyd mix. I have heard Mathilfa Mother but I cant remember it... that and See Emily Play are two nebulous tracks for some reason. Maybe they were non album releases? No clue. I have heard them but can never remember them.
There are more I wanted to list, like Atom Heart Mother, Any Color You Like, The Great Gig in the Sky, Shine On... Diamond, More Blues... on and on.
I will probe my music memory for a similar atmosphere, but I will for now recommend two that are worth checking out:
Boards of Canada
Pretty Lights (jazz and blues influenced DJ, but fair warning, he has a LOT and a fair mix is more hip hop, but he has some wonderful nigh-psychedelia hidden in there)
I've heard the Marillion song Childhood's End, but I didn't know Floyd had one. I'll have to check it out.
shareThe title comes from a novel, maybe before that... I cant recall if the Floyd version was on one of their foreign movie soundtracks. I know Obscured by Clouds is soundtrack material. It has been years since I last looked at which albums were made for movies, including of course The Wall.

back in the day when i used to take little trips into the deep end, tg's heathen earth was one of my favourite soundtracks.

The Doors were weird because they didn't have a bass player.
