Are there any other artists with the same Warm/Nostalgic/Apocalyptic feeling like BoC

I can never get enough of BoC's quality and original sound, but are there any other artists that are similar? I've been trying to find some and failed to discover what I was looking for.

Former hexagon sun associate "Christ." does excellent work, and people often compare him to BOC. Very strong discography. Also, check out the "recent releases" thread about "curio vol. 1".

They have a pretty unique sound, so there's not much that I'm aware of.

 

Christ. is an obvious one that comes to mind:

 

Bachel has a pretty BoC-y vibe: http://www.ampoulerecords.com/release_detail.php?label=talenthoover&cat=talent014

 

This compilation has a little bit of the early BoC feeling to it: http://www.discogs.com/Various-Music-Volume-One-And-Two/release/40985

Freescha are somewhat similar in that the fuzzy, nostalgic melodies are present, the melodies themselves are of a *very* high quality and the productions can get dark as fuck at times. Doesn't get much better than Freescha for this sound:

Erm, I'd say early Tycho is similar to BOC... Past is Prologue and Dive are very similar in vibe to BOC.

1991 - High-Tech, High-Life. Mostly ambient, no beat, but I guess they are huge BoC fans.

Also, they go their album title from this:

 

Leary, Timothy. "High Tech High Life -- William Gibson & Timothy Leary In Conversation." Mondo 2000 7 (Fall 1989): 58-64. Good discussion of William Burroughs, Douglas Adams, Thomas Pynchon, characterization, and drugs by the man whom Leary calls "Quark of the Decade."
