Naturally, both contain a heap o' engineering and mixing and performing talent.
"British sound?"....To my knowledge, API is and always was an american made console..
..I think Queen used a Trident A range[that is indeed british] on a lot of stuff

Pink Floyd, Anything off Dark Side=Classic TG
Dark side of the moon[actually used to market the Chandler "TG" line of products] was recorded on an EMI TG desk:

Again Quoted from the TG site:

"the Abbey Road Mk4 Custom console in Studio 2, around 1971.
This console was used for a number of major recordings during the 1970's and early 80's, amongst which was Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon." The desk remained in studio 2 until the summer of 1983.

Now owned by producer Mike Hedges, and used recently for recordings by The Manic Street Preachers, Travis, Texas and A1. The console is currently installed in Mike's North London studio. "
