there's plenty of bands that the Mars Volta drew inspiration from... if you liked Amputechture, listen to king crimson's album "in the court of the crimson king".
if you liked Deloused in the Comatorium, check out bands like RX Bandits or Of Montreal. Also Omar's new band ANTEMASQUE could pique your interest.
Personally i love the jams of Frances the Mute, particularly the assemblage of psychedelia in Cassandra Gemini.... the band CAN has many similar styles in their recorded music... plenty of spiritual dimensions opened up, lots of space for your head. Check out Can's album Tago Mago
