"My history with ozric tentacles is a sort of strange one. I first heard about them maybe six years ago when I was in a hard core prog rock phase with King Crimson as my favorite band at the time. The music is mostly imporv based and instrumental with the occasional trippy vocals added in.

The sound reminds me in a way of early 90s late 80s music that hasnt totally shed the 80s electronic touches which in a weird way the best comparison I can think of are the Stone Roses. Not that they share any musical similarites but theres an experienced 80s element thats really different from a lot of 80s revival thats going on now.

Their improv tribal beat based music has a real dance element that isn't in a lot of prog rock. Id reccoment this for anyone into more psychedelic dance, prog rock or more intresting jam music fans. After all these years I still can come back to this because of the diversity in guitar playing, electronic touches and just the good beats."

"The Ozric Tenbtacles is one of the best bands ever! I can never get sick of listening too em. There was never one album that was a bit disappointed.



Anyway the band isn't for everybody...but if your into any music thats progressive or psychedelic then you probably will like this band or any nature music as well too.



Some of the ozric's band members also do Eat static, ZubZub, etc.



I always liked this band sense late 1990's.



An too me I think the band sounds like a little like nature music an also progressive an psychedelic, like ambient, dub, some of it sounds like techno music too.





Like remember this band isn't for everybody...because its instrumental music an they do mixture of different genre's too like rock, ambient, psychedelic, techno, etc.



Most people perfer regular music not music like this.



An if you like this band then you'll also probably like Porcupine Tree, Hawkwind, Steve Hillage, etc.

"Just like my review of Waterfall Cities this is wonderful instrumental music that takes you on a journey to galaxies unknown. This edition I purchsed also has a dvd disc with live material as well as interviews. Found out about these guys from Pandora Internet Radio. Sound quality is very good too.

When ever I tell people about them they give me a strange look and say "Who?""
