I Need My Pink Floyd Fix

So, Pink Floyd is by far the greatest band I have ever heard in the English language. To put it in the simplest terms as to why they are my most beloved group: Pink Floyd is me. By that I mean the musical sounds that derive from the master works of the Floyd is the closest any piece of music performed by any group or individual has ever come to describing what is going on in my brain. The lyrics, the musical progressions, the incredible solos authored by David Gilmour--that is who I am in my most musical form.
Recently, I have acquired the remaining of Pink Floyd's studio albums (minus Ummagumma and some Early Years Singles). It has dawned on me that there won't be any new Floyd to listen to once I've burned through multiple repeat listens of all fifteen albums. The amazing sonic sounds of this legendary English rock band will be all I have to turn to for such a musical experience...
...so I attempted to search for a band that has a close/similar sound to the Floyd. And--by golly! There seems to no such group in existence! I have lightly scoured forums that share a similar fandom, but no recommendations have turned up a group that is close enough to the Pink Floyd sound for my liking.
On the one hand, this is amazing! It means Pink Floyd is just so timeless and standout from everything else that any group that has ever tried to imitate their style have failed to capture the Floydian sound. That's incredible in of itself. On the other hand... I can't get my fix for some new Pink Floyd music! Why is it that plenty of bands can sound like The Beatles or Modest Mouse but none seem to replicate the musical repertoire that can double for my own personal being in melodic/harmonic form?
So, I turn to you, Gametalk. Does anyone have any recommendations for a band that most sounds like Pink Floyd, almost as if it were a group with an EVOLVED Pink Floyd sound? Any recommendations are appreciated! I do have much of David, Roger's, and even Rick's solo albums in my possession, so scrap mentioning those. I also read groups like The Machine (who started out as a Pink Floyd tribute band) and Tame Impala (a band I am going to post about later) are similar, but they aren't even close to the Pink Floyd sound I crave so deeply.
Thank you, all!
P.S. I am mostly interested in the Pink Floyd sounds of Meddle onward, in terms of albums. Their early stuff sounds unfocused and too much like The Beatles of the time. Just my opinion, but any album from Meddle and onward would be the sound I seek most of all.
