The Dukes of Stratosphear records are pretty close, though more to the entire band than Syd particularly.



I agree, Bike Ride To The Moon is Syd-like in concept and vocals but (according to Andy) set to a Move style rhythm and melody. I guess Have You Seen Jackie from Psonic Psunspots is the nearest overall (and in the vein of Scream Thy Last Scream with it's varispeeded vocals and wah-organ).
Also from the 80s check out Edward The Bear by the Damned (b-side of Grimly Fiendish) and 49 Cigars by Nick Nicely (which to me is actually more Barrettesque than Hilly Fields) - especially the vocal during the chorus/refrain "under garage skies, see me cry".
