  Ozma (band) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ozma was formed in 1995 by high school friends Daniel Brummel (vocals/bass), Ryen Slegr (vocals/guitar), Patrick Edwards (drums), Jose Galvez (guitar) and Star Wick (keyboard/flute).
Ozma's second album, The Doubble Donkey Disc, was released on June 2002.
Ozma experimented with the traditional Ukrainian balalaika and the flute to create a sound they called "Russian coldfusion.", This album had several songs—such as "Korobeiniki" (a Russian folk song made famous as one of the Tetris themes) and "Flight of Yuri Gagarin"—with explicitly Russian themes.

 Digevent - Backstage Pass - Meet Ozma - Free Online Concerts   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Ozma formed when songwriters Slegr and Jose Galvez (who had been playing in rock groups with drummer Patrick Edwards since middle school) met Daniel Brummel (bassist, singer, songwriter) 5 years ago on the internet, and ever since then, they have used the medium to their advantage.
Ozma has sold thousands of CDs online, to listeners in several of the world's nations, and students familiar with the band's websites have begun requesting them on American college radio stations - all of this without the assistance of any record label, major or otherwise.
Ozma slyly incorporates their broad musical tastes into a unique and unified sound; some contemporary acts that come up in descriptions of the band are Smashing Pumpkins, Ben Folds Five, and Weezer.

She was much interested in the story of Ozma, who had been, when a baby, stolen by a wicked old witch and transformed into a boy.
Ozma had many adventures, however, before she regained her father's throne, and in these she was accompanied by a pumpkin-headed man, a highly magnified and thoroughly educated Woggle-Bug, and a wonderful sawhorse that had been brought to life by means of a magic powder.
Ozma sat at the head of a long table, on a raised platform, with Dorothy on her right hand and the Scarecrow on her left.

 Ozma, Project
Drake began preparations for Ozma in 1959, the same year in which the seminal theoretical paper on SETI by Philip Morrison and Guiseppe Cocconi was published in the British journal Nature (see Morrison-Cocconi Conjecture).
From April to July 1960, he tuned into both for six hours a day, using the 85-ft. Howard E. Tatel radio telescope at Green Bank (shown in the photo) equipped with a receiver that had just a single channel and a bandwidth of only 100 Hz.
Although after 150 hours of listening Ozma drew a blank, it was to be the starting point for many more, increasingly sophisticated searches which continue to this day.

Actually, from the beginning of Ozma we had expected that any public announcement of it would bring a horde of reporters down on our heads, and so we had kept the whole thing as quiet as possible.
On the first day of Project Ozma, I set the alarm clock for three, got up groggily, and went out into the fog and cold which was to be my regular morning greeting for about two months.
Just as Project Ozma contributed to the development of the much better systems of today, so the giant telescopes and computers of today will be replaced with even grander instruments in the future.

By far the hardest enemy in the game, Ozma is a completely optional guy intended for the best of the best to test their fighting abilities.
Ozma is located in the most unlikeliest of places -- in the cutesy and unthreatening Chocobo's Air Garden.
The reason this happens is because of the way Ozma's death sequence is programmed; it's a little complicated to explain but let's just say the game does not expect Ozma's HP to be 0.

 Ozma's Homepage
Princess Ozma was grieved to hear this report and the little Wizard shook his head gravely and said the naughty imps deserved to be punished.
Ozma followed, for the other bushes were trying to stick their thorns into her legs and one actually got so near her that it tore a great rent in her beautiful dress.
As Ozma and the little Wizard turned to resume their journey, the three pigs rushed forward, dashed between their legs, and tripped them up, so that both lost their balance and toppled over, clinging to one another.

To reach Ozma, you have to complete most of the chocobo side quest that begins in the Chocobo forest near the beginning of the game --- to speed you along, see this list of Chocographs which will help you find the treasures and evolve your chocobo to a Gold Chocobo.
Ozma only has 50,000HP which is small compared to the Weapons in FF7 and FF8 which had 500,000-1,000,000HP.
Ozma rotates periodically, so it is hard to plan attacks to take advantage of the vulnerabilities; and with Ozma, you usually only get one chance.

Ozma's electronics explore the darkest and coldest of dark ambient soundscapes--not the sound of being IN space, but of actually BEING space.
Ozma was the brainchild of electronic artists Mike Metlay and DAC Crowell, recorded in two frantic weeks at the Towers Of Duh in Tallahassee, Florida, one steamy autumn in 1995.
We have mostly chosen the Actualia to represent Ozma's music here, despite the fact that they make up less than a fifth of the record's running time, due to the time constraints of the playable samples.

 Ozma of Oz, by L. Frank Baum.
Ozma now drove her chariot around to the third door of the wing, upon which the Tin Woodman boldly proceeded to knock.
Ozma stopped her chariot so suddenly that the Scarecrow’s Sawhorse nearly ran into it, and the ranks of the army tumbled over one another before they could come to a halt.
Ozma and Dorothy were a little awed by the silence, and all the others were quiet and grave except the Sawhorse, which, as it trotted along with the Scarecrow upon his back, hummed a queer song, of which this was the chorus:

In a report released yesterday, the NSA announced that as much as 3% of the world's population, or approximately 180 million individuals, do not love Ozma with all of their hearts.
Several hundred devoted Ozma fans met in D.C. to rally support for Ozma in their time of need.
An unnamed protester spoke up and said, ''Well, maybe they prefer the original, you know, Weezer.'' This was met with an uneasy silence which was thankfully broken by the sound of a SWAT team bursting through the crowd and forcefully subduing and arresting the malcontent.

From April to July 1960, for six hours a day, Project Ozma's 85-foot NRAO radio telescope was tuned to the 21-centimeter emission (1420 MHz) coming from cold hydrogen gas in interstellar space.
With the exception of an early false alarm caused by a secret military experiment, the only sound that came from the loudspeaker was static and no meaningful bumps superimposed themselves on the formless wiggles on the recording paper.
After Project Ozma's pioneering steps, systematic searches for the technological manifestations of civilizations on the planets of other stars became a feasible scientific objective.

Ozma could have broke up at that very moment and my response would have been, "Who cares...they're no good anymore." But as albums do have a tendency to grow on you, I decided to give this one a try.
Ozma sure does have some similarities in this album (though they're probably more comparable to a Christian band like Reliant K), but that doesn't make the album any good.
I haven't been too impressed with Weezer's newer stuff anyways, yet Ozma has managed to hold on to the vitality and awesome melodies from their previous albums and add to the mix other influences.

I own all three of Ozma's discs, and many of their unreleased stuff, and I've gotta say that this is their best work.The keys are fine tuned and incredible, as is the painfully beautiful flute used on some of this album.
The only Ozma songs that really do, I think, are Natalie Portman, In Search of 1988 (from the Blue album or Pinkerton), and Bad Dogs (by far the worst Ozma song, sounds straight off Maladroit).
The only similar thing is that Ozma uses the combination of crunching distorted guitars and beautiful melodies just like weezer.
