Nice one Tomisnever! Now it's time for me to get myself a piano/keyboard :)

Here you can find a lot of names, which in some way, are related to BoC.

depending on what side of BOC you like, there are lots of bands that are riding similar wavelengths. For instance, I love BOC's softer, melodic and ambient side.. so I also like Helios http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yj55nG2tkKw

freescha has a similar vibe going on. Some of my favorite tracks are kid brother, speaker eater, smurf shoe, making oranges, henry hudson, and on and on. They also did the soundtrack for the mini movie "Mr. Dramatic". Check em out, I love them.
Also lol, they did a track with britney spears called "heaven on earth" haha. I like the track, but it could just be fanboyism.

Loving this, reminds me of Explosion in the Sky, just a lot less chaotic.

Wow! Tomisnever, firstly welcome. Secondly, thank you so much! As someone who's first instrument is the guitar, but who is slowly, slowly, s-l-o-w-l-y learning more and more about plays with synths and keyboards, your site is a God send. :D

Thanks for the great videos.

I think the link above points to a great list of similar artists.
Here are a few I don't see get too many mentions around here Xela (in particular earlier works), Arovane and maybe Donato Wharton.

:D
