The Legendary Pink Dots -- The Made Man's Manifesto
I don't know enough about the Legendary Pink Dots to say if it's rare that they sound like pre-Dark Side Pink Floyd, but Allmusic.com does, and does.

All I know is I like this track, and it reminds me a bit of Floyd but, to indulge a cliche, "not in a bad way," and I don't know which made man's manifesto it might be referring to; I'm having a hard time relating the lyrics to any fictional or real mobsters I know of. Also:

You can stop counting.

Ten, ten ten ten ten, ten ten ten ten, ten,
You can stop counting.

One-two-many,
You can stop counting.

The Legendary Pink Dots have been around for a quarter-century and have released about 40 albums. Twenty-four of them are on emusic. I haven't yet heard The Maria Dimension, though right off it reminds me of a friendlier and less demented Aphex Twin crossed with a less moody/brooding early Dead Can Dance.
